Explain the Problem

Can't import opml.xml file created by Freshrss

Steps to Reproduce

Explain what you did to encounter the issue

1. Export an opml.xml file of subscribed feeds in FreshRSS
2. In Nextcloud News, go to News settings-> Import/Export -> Abonnements (OPML) -> and try to import the earlier Freshrss file.
3. Nextcloud news opens the file picker, but the relevant opml.xml file is grayed out and can't be chosen.

System Information

• News app version: 28.6.0
• Nextcloud version: 33.0.5
• Cron type: (system cron/python updater/...) system cron
• PHP version: 8.3.31
• Database and version: PostgreSQL 18.4
• Browser and version: Firefox for 153.0.1 (64-bit)
• OS and version: MacOS 15.7.8

Details

No logs or errors to share, because I can't start the import process due to the opml.xml file being grayed out.

That seems like a freshrss bug because the extension should be .opml. Does it work if you rename it?

[mjeshurun]

I tried renaming the Freshrss opml file extension from .xml to .opml, but it didn't help.
I also tried to export a feeds opml file using Inoreader, and it also created an .xml file that Nextcloud News can't open.
