Has anyone figured out how to open a specific file in Epsilon using tasker and android intents? I asked Chat GPT and got an answer that didn't work (and subsequent questioning also didn't work)
I'll paste its suggestions and maybe someone can tweak it into something that works...?
Hello, this is Bing. I'm glad you are interested in Epsilon Notes, a markdown editor for Android https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60922916/send-file-to-app-with-intents-using-tasker. According to my web search results, there is a way to use Tasker and Android intents to open a specific file in Epsilon Notes. You can use the following steps:
• Create a new task in Tasker and name it "Open File in Epsilon".
• Add an action of type "System -> Send Intent".
• Configure the action with the following parameters:
• Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
• Data: file:///path/to/file.md (replace with the actual file path)
• Mime Type: text/plain
• Package: com.ekartoyev.enotes
• Class: com.ekartoyev.enotes.MainActivity
• Target: Activity
• Save the task and run it to test it.
This should open the specified file in Epsilon Notes. You can also use variables or file selectors to choose different files dynamically. For more information, you can check out these web pages:

The file isn't opened?
I don't use Tasker, I have Termux installed on all my devices. If I don't add «file:///» before path to file, it don't works. Also filename must contain as minimum one dot. Files without an extension will not opens.
-----------
It works in Termux.
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d file:///path/notename.cm com.ekartoyev.enotes/.Main

also the component in class «com.ekartoyev.enotes» is incorrect, not «.MainActivity» just «.Main»
