Giles Turnbull 12 years ago in General • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago • 1

(Mac OS X 10.8.4, MacBook Air 13")


Steps: 


1. open new document, type something

2. save as html file

3. type some changes, hit Command+S

4. Textastic says: "The document could not be saved, you don't have permission."


Screenshot:

Plain text files don't seem to have the same trouble, only html files.

New top row keys

Dan Eveland 14 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago • 1
Ok, the idea behind these top row keys is just amazing! I don't know if this exists anywhere else or you made it up, but this is so great! That whole tap and slide thing is so easy and is so much faster than switching keyboard modes. Thanks! I wish those were everywhere now, like in iSSH and my VNC app Jump.

After clicking on the connect, it configures for a long time and says transfer error couldn't connect to the server.
Does anyone have any idea about it?

Wrong behaviour/crash when entering accented characters using a hardware keyboard

Alexander Blach (Developer) 15 years ago • updated 15 years ago • 0
The bug only occurs if you connect a hardware keyboard (wireless bluetooth or keyboard dock).

1. Connect keyboard.
2. Write some code.
3. Push ´ and a vowel.
4. Write more code and you'll see that code is written backwards.
5. Push backspace key to delete the code wrote in step 4.
6. Push backspace again, and the app will crash.

This is fixed for the next update.

In the meantime, you can use the virtual on-screen keyboard to enter accented characters (like á or ñ). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Is there any way to hide the "line/column" indicator in the text editing window?

Mat Schulte 13 years ago in iPad • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago • 1

I like to be able to see all my text in the window unconstructed as I'm working on it. I would rather pull up the line/column thingy when I need it, instead of having the extra noise all the time.

Bug: File doesn't close when you delete the folder it is in.

Nic 13 years ago in iPad • updated by Andrew Pearce 11 years ago • 2

I I file is open and you delete the folder that it is in (local folder) the file doesn't close. It stays open. Think it should close like it does when I file is deleted.


If you then use the option in the upper right corner to upload the file it blanks out the file on the server then gives you an error. Luckily for me I had a back up. :^ )

Auto save

Raj347 12 years ago in General • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago • 3

Hi,


I use Textastic on Mac, iPad and iPhone. iCloud integration is great, but I've noticed that autosave Mac saves to iCloud as default. How do I create and edit a file without bringing iCloud at all into auto save or the main save. As far as I can see I need to sort a new document and save immediately to the local drive. Once this is done mac does not use iCloud at all. Is this right?


Is this the same procedure for iPad and iPhone too?


Many thanks,


Raj

Switch between syntax definitions

mario 15 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 15 years ago • 1
Nice App! It would be really nice to be able to manually switch between syntax definitions though (maybe in the file properties section, where the current definition is shown!?).

Example: I use Matlab scripts very often. An appropriate syntax definition is available, but normally the file extension is .m, which is associated with Objective-C in the Textastic standard definition. It would be much more convenient to just change the syntax definition used instead of renaming the file to .mat.

The same would apply for gpx-files, which use xml-definitions, but are interpreted as plain text…

This is already implemented in 1.1 which should be available any time now.

question mark in filename

Jon Diercks 13 years ago • updated by Jon Diercks 13 years ago • 3
I have a website that was scraped from a CMS using wget into static files. As a result, almost all of the filenames contain questions marks (e.g. w_page.php?id=123.html). I know, bad form, but it's transitional and I need to leave it this way for now. Texttastic can upload/download these files and edit them, but the preview function does not work because the filename gets truncated at the question mark. Any way to fix this?

P.S. The WYSIWYG editor in the feedback form that I am using to enter this does not work well on iPad ... had to switch to HTML source view.
