File permissions

Vicente Silvestre 14 years ago updated 14 years ago 2
I saw a comment from a year ago with planned support for UNIX file permissions.  Anywhere in sight yet?  I don't even need to change the permissions, but when I sync a folder with Bash o Python scripts which are executable in the Mac and edit them in Textastic they loose their executable bit, which is not nice, specially since some of them need to run from a cron job... It would be nice if you preserved whatever file permissions where there to begin with.

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

Dexidus 15 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 15 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 14 years ago updated by Myako Toudai 14 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 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 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?

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

William Fithen 15 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 15 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 14 years ago updated 14 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?
