Needs update iOS 14.6

davidweatherall 3 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 3 years ago 1

Just tried to activateTextastic. Message saying it must be updated.

Only use it occasionally so don not know when it occurred.

My system is IOS 14.6.

How do I update? Has always been automatic for n (many) years)

Answer

Hello,


Textastic 5.3.1, which was released more than 5 years ago, can no longer be launched on iOS 14.5 and later due to changes made by Apple.


The current version 9.6.4 supports the latest features of iOS 14 and is available as a separate app in the App Store: Textastic Code Editor 9. If you install the new app while the old app is still on the device, all your files and remote connections will be migrated to the new app automatically.

Textastic 5.3.1 is no longer sold on the App Store and thus can no longer be updated. However, existing customers can still download the app for older iOS versions.

Textastic 6.0 was released in March 2016 and was the first paid upgrade since version 1.0 was released in 2010.

Compatible SFTP file providers

latourfl 4 years ago in iPad 0

Are there any app with SFTP file provider extension that are compatible with Textastic besides Secure ShellFish?

I tried SFTP File Provider from Akos Polster, and FileBroswer, but both are greyed out when opening the Add External Folder panel. What makes them incompatible?

Thank you!

Cannot edit anything

Ondrej Krajicek 4 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 4 years ago 1

I have run into a strange issue. Regardless of what I open and from where, I cannot edit anything. Textastic opens the files, but it just does not respond to any keyboard input. The application itself is responsive (I can change settings, etc.), but all files are - sort of - readonly. It does not matter if those files come from external folders, are live files or “local” Textastic files. Tried restart, reinstall and did not help. 

iPad, iPadOS 14.5

Opening a Markdown link in Safari mishandles escapes

John Meyer 4 years ago in iPad updated 4 years ago 3

Example...

in Markdown:
[YouTube vid](https://www\.youtube\.com/watch?v=2SJ977\-CMPg&t=360)

if I try to open this in Safari or copy the link (from the Preview)... I get the following URL, which is malformed...

https://www/.youtube/.com/watch?v=2SJ977\-CMPg&t=360

there's several issues with that URL... first \. in the Markdown should become . in preview, but instead it becomes /.
also \- should become - and & should become & but both are left as is

as a test, the following 2 lines of Markdown will produce the identical string of output characters (although the second line will be wrapped in a "pre" tag), unless escaping is broken in which case the first line will have extra backslashes

\!\#\&\(\)\*\+\-\.\:\<\>\@\[\\\]\^\_\`\{\|\}\~\
``!#&()*+-.:<>@[\]^_`{|}~``

Still can not edit file over SSH/FTPS?

scripzero 4 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 4 years ago 1

I saw the developer reply for this Feature for over 10 years and now still no this feature?

Answer

You can do this using the Secure ShellFish app:

- add the SSH/SFTP server to Secure ShellFish

- enable Secure ShellFish location in the Files app

- add the server as an external folder to Textastic (see https://www.textasticapp.com/v9/manual/integration_other_apps/external_files_folders.html#adding-external-folders)

This allows you to edit files lives on an SFTP server.

Korean text typing error

clockoon 4 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 2 years ago 3

In recent version (maybe 9.6~), Korean character at the first position of line suffers disassemble error. For example, when typing ‘강물’ (in order of ㄱ + ㅏ + ㅇ + ㅁ + ㅜ + ㄹ), Textastic force to represent ‘ㄱㅏㅇ물’. There is no way to assemble it; the only (temporary) solution is add a whitespace or other character before typing, and delete it later.

Answer

I could reproduce the problem and found a workaround. This will be fixed in the next update.

Jump to file in folder

Neo Ighodaro 4 years ago in iPad updated 4 years ago 1

Hey, nice app. Just bought it and started using it on my iPad. I think theres should be a way to jump within files in the loaded directory. Sort of the way you can do cmd+p in vscode.

This would be of great help andimprove productivity within the app itself.
