Please add dropbox connectivity, as well as Flex MXML support (can use the same syntax highlighting as HTML)

Dexidus 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 1
Great product, but it would be nice if I could directly access files in my dropbox (edit/save directly in dropbox, without having to launch dropbox app, browse to file and open in textastic, rather browse dropbox account directly in textastic)

Also, it would be nice if you added native support for Flex 'MXML' files, the syntax can be relatively the same as HTML/xml/as with very minor modifications if any, however direct support for .mxml files would be great.

; and : key placement

Robert Saccone 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 1
For those us using Objective-C and C/C++ placing the ';' and ':' keys near the braces and bracket keys in the top row of the keyboard would make for better flow and productivity when typing.

Markdown definition lists

Brian Sniffen 13 years ago updated by Myako Toudai 13 years ago 2
MultiMarkdown, pandoc, and other markdown processors support definition lists in the style:

Term
: Definition, starting in the fourth column

I would love to hvae this added to textastic. Actually , since my workstation-side processing is in pandoc, I'd be thrilled to have perfect mimicry of pandoc-style markdown: footnotes, tables, DLs, math.

Small selection bug with Find and Replace

Steven Lu 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1
This one should be pretty straightforward. I am replacing a 3 letter word with a 4 letter word and after replacing several instances within a selected area of text, that selected area has shifted (gotten smaller) by the same number of characters. You'll want to test it a bit with different lengths to see exactly what it's doing...

This picture should show you exactly what I'm talking about. http://stevenlu.net/files/12_4_24_screenshot.png

Or could you release smaller updates more often?

Relative path against a folder

Matteo Del Vecchio 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 3
When I use HTML and CSS files, I have to rewrite every path that is in code. Why don't you make every path relative to its super directory? That's what I mean: in the Files view, I create a new folder called Project, where I put every file that belongs to that project. Inside it I create and index.html file and a folder called "images". Now when I write the code I would like that paths should be written as /images/image.png instead of adding even the main folder name like /Projects/images/image.png
This would improve the user experience, I think.

When I paste text copied from Pages, Textastic crashes if the text contained in the copy ends with the trailing paragraph marker.

William Fithen 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 1
I tried lots of combinations of copy/paste and founfpd that if the copy included undisplayed trailing paragraph marker ( it shows as a blank at the end of the paragraph in Pages) the paste will crash TT if and only if it's the final character in the paste. Interior paragraph markers paste fine.

Appearance of the development tree

Patrick Brown 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 0
Great job on the app!  Small suggestion: I'd love the ability to view the development tree in its entirely, like you can in textmate's gutter.  Would make moving between files much easier without taking away any functinoality.  Perhaps a file view option?
