What Android and device?

I cannot confirm the report (with kurviger files).

[Total Commander](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander) or [Google Files](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.nbu.files) on newer Android: “Open with” shows Kurviger and works correctly.  
(after granting “All files access” permission to Total Commander)

You can try [Google Files](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.nbu.files) or another file manager on older Androids.  
Total Commander seems to work better on newer Android versions.

> File managers should return the proper file content according to Android guidelines. Total Commander on older Android may need permission (works on newer Android). You can use [Google Files app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.nbu.files), which should work with any location (even SD card).
