OpenAI Codex desktop app breaks local Markdown file linking

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users of OpenAI's Codex desktop application are experiencing a disruption in their workflow due to a recent change in how local Markdown files are handled. Previously, Codex would generate clickable links to Markdown files, allowing users to easily open and edit them in a sidebar. However, the application now often returns file paths as plain text, or creates separate, non-authoritative copies of files, hindering the ability to access and modify the correct documents. AI
