Could someone share some insights on what the expected format/possible parameters on the backend are / what we should pass there? @ishank011 @wkloucek

I'm sorry, but I still need to point you to a draft PR https://github.com/owncloud/ocis/pull/2580/files . I just wrote a section about query parameters of the /app/open endpoint

Enough to at least get started, thanks!

Needs concepting by @tbsbdr on how to handle the different view-modes from a UI/UX perspective - should we offer them on a per-app level on a sub-dropdown (as e.g. Open OpenOffice ... and then display in view mode, in edit mode, in read mode)

@fschade we talked about this one, I'll assign you

Hey @ishank011 I guess the usecase is the following:
As a user who just wants to sneak peek into files I want to be sure that I don't accidentally modify them.
Is this correct?

Hi @tbsbdr, apologies for the late response.

Yes, that would be the use case. For users having a conjunction of permissions on a file, they should be able to open it in any specific view mode. The /app/open endpoint accepts a view_mode=(view|read|write) query parameter for this
