Preview .txt files in desktop app

In the desktop app if we could preview the text documents with live text that would be helpful. We get plain text documents with either javascript, HTML or some type of code from our clients that they want added to their websites. So instead of downloading multiple documents to our machines it would save us some time and space if we could just preview them and copy/paste.

I just stumbled across this missing feature yesterday. I vote for adding a preview feature for plain text files too!

Adding my support.

Hi @Ali Moses, thank you for your comment. Would you please confirm that you have Document Editor installed on your computer? This piece of software allows you to edit attachments in Wrike without having to download them.

If you have questions, please let me know. Looking forward to your reply!

Hi @[Deleted User], Yes I can confirm I already have document editor installed and am unable to preview .txt documents on the web version of Wrike.

Frankly speaking, it's incredible that Wrike can show the preview of files in proprietary format like Excel or Word and cannot show a simple txt ASCII file.

I have a lot of txt files to check every week. Is it so difficult to make it possible to be able to do this in Wrike? I would be very happy if this would be possible.

I'm having the same issue... can't preview normal .txt files either (and yes, I have the editor installed). It would be a great addition.
