HTML/JavaScript termination of running script when click Done

Adrian Nelson 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 2
Hi, First of all what a great app! I am writing / prototyping some data compression algorithms (in JavaScript) and using the preview facility of the HTML file that is including many scripts. some of these take time to run and as results are output into the DOM as the algorithms run it is sometimes obvious that my test can stop. When I click the Done button to return from preview to the editor nothing happens until the scripts running in the preview window complete even though I have returned to the editor.

My suggestion (if it is possible) is that when the Done button is clicked in the preview window is to reset the HTML document in order to effectively cancel the currently running Javascript so that the editor can be used straight away.

Thanks again for a great app,
Adrian

Exporting using "Open in..."

Tom Andersen 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 0
The manual does not say if I can use 'Open In.." to export to other iOS apps once I am done editing a document. So I don't know wether the app does this or not. Its easy to implement, and would make a lot of things easier. For instance there are likely WebDav apps (does iDisk support this?) that benefit from this behavoir. If its already there, then please add it to the manual.
Answer
Yes, when you have a file opened in Textaxtic, you can tap on the "action" button (right-most button in the toolbar) and use the "Open In..." command to open the document in other apps registered for this file type.

No way of entering Apache's Password

Keven Ménard 13 years ago updated by Ramon Figueroa-Centeno 11 years ago 7
When the website is protected by a password (Apache's), there is no way of logging in when using the preview feature so it loads forever. Thanks for fixing in next release!

Large files

Marco Cecchetti 12 years ago updated 12 years ago 4
How much large can an edited file be without slow down responsiveness ?  I think of something like a javascript file with 20,000 line of code

Clojure syntax highlighting would be welcome.

Clojure and Racket Scheme are two languages that would be great additions to your software.

After renaming a file, the files sidebar does not update.

Raffael Erhart 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1
After renaming a file, the files sidebar does not update, even when tapping on Reload. In File Transfer view, everything is fine. The only known solution is to kill the app and restart it.

Please add Inconsolata XL font

Stuart Roebuck 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 2
Inconsolata is a very nice open source coding font and Insonsolata XL adds a bold variant which helps with syntax highlighting. There should be no license issues with adding this and I know of at least one other iPad app which includes it. The download link for the font is:

Version 2.0
Answer
Will be available as a choice in Textastic 2.0.

bad interpreter: Text file busy

mark page 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1

When editing Perl CGI over SSH (SFTP) scripts will not execute from the shell or via Apache. Log shows "bad interpreter: Text file busy" and running "lsof | grep filename.pl" shows sftp-serv has the file open. After closing Textastic the file is executable again from the shell and Apache. Netstat confirms the SSH connection is being held open by Textastic (even when in the background on iPad) until the app is closed. Any thoughts on how to work around this?

Answer
I could reproduce the problem now. It will be fixed in the next update.
