Detection of file type by shebang line
I've just had one annoyance so far which is that detection of file type appears to go by the file extension only. The problem is that I commonly omit the extension for executable scripts (e.g. Python) so that the language is an implementation detail that can be changed later without needing to change anything that calls them.
It would be great if extensionless files could be detected based on Shebang line. So, if the first line of the file starts with #! and something like "python" or "ruby" occurs after it then the appropriate mode can be chosen. I suggest a loose parsing strategy like that to cope with different paths to interpreters, use of the "env" utility, etc.
Is there a way to "Refresh" the preview?
I just bought Textastic last week in order to make some changes to a website remotely with my iPad and was immediately impressed!
However, right now I'm trying to use it for actual web app creation, and I'm having a problem with the Preview functionality failing to recognize changes I've made to my .css files.
My example case starts with two very simple files: an index.html with a styled (class="test") "Hello World", and a stylesheet with a single dot-style (.test), which makes the font big and red.
I make these, and everything seems to work fine when I preview. However, then I change the color to yellow (in the .css) and I preview the change in the index.html file, and the font is still red.
Confused, I upload the files to my web server, and it is indeed yellow. I try making a "styles2.css" and I copy/paste the contents of styles.css into styles2. I change the stylesheet href in index.html to styles2, and I preview that. Now it's yellow! I changes it back to styles.css (remember, styles.css and styles2.css are identical--it was just a copy/paste) and things are back to red.
So, it seems as if Preview is aggressively caching files. Is there any way to force a refresh of asset files? I'm just using local storage for both index.html and styles.css, and they are in the same folder.
I would love to see ruby syntax highlighting included+ Dropbox/iDisk sync
Brackets integration
PHP code completion
I'm I wrong? Is there a way to get ALL the latest PHP release's functions for autocompletion?
Thank you! :-)
Posting to the board in landscape mode on the ipad does not work well
Aloha,
Cannot post more than a couple of lines to this board on landscape mode (I am visually impaired and like the bigger keyboard).
Mahalo,
