From 6ae729f554baefce20cb8aabb2306303381d0752 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Moeller Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2018 16:56:25 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add note about supported/unsupported formats Since we're not going to have #205 land for 0.1.0alpha, we should explicitly call out some good formats to test with. I've also rephrased the "contact your administrator" language -- we can re-introduce that language as we build the proper end-user documentation, but for now, pointing to the issue tracker feels more appropriate. --- README.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 35d38c37..b2c8f09d 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -134,7 +134,7 @@ Do not repeatedly click the “Open” icon; instead, wait for the process to co Files are opened in disposable VMs to ensure that any malware contained within files cannot access any other part of the workstation.

Please don't hesitate to [file an issue](https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-workstation/issues/new) for formats that you believe should be supported. For now, we recommend testing with TXT, PDF or MP4 files. Common word processor formats will be supported soon, once we have sufficiently hardened the installation of LibreOffice ([issue 205](https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-workstation/issues/205)). While you are logged in, the workstation will check for new messages and documents every 5 minutes. You can also force a check by clicking the “Refresh” button.
