Set default file for preview

Jarrod Oberto 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 2
Most of the work I do in Textastic is javascript. I have multiple JS files and 1 index.html.

It would be nice if there was an option so whenever I press the preview button it always previews the index.html rather than the currently edited file. At the moment I need to always switch back to the index, preview, then switch back to my file.

A nice way for this to work is maybe if you press and hold the preview button, an option to preview another file (possibly one I've nominated as my preview file) is shown.

Regards,
j.

Multiple FTP accounts

Richard Whent 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 2
I work on multiple sites on multiple hosts, but currently, all files are downloaded to one folder.
I'd like to be able to separate files by FTP account to keep the multiple index.php etc files distinguishable.

The when using the img tag Textastic should provide src media paths in it's auto complete menu. You should also offer image dimensions and other information when the image viewer pops up.

Multimarkdown output support

Giuseppe Pisani 12 years ago in General updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 1

It would be great to have the Multimarkdown support, many apps support it and so we would not manage different syntaxes everytime we view/edit documents on different devices...

The Discount Markdown implementation lacks of captions, definition lists seem not work and the internal link are very hard to write than Multimarkdown.

Answer
Textastic 5.1 now uses MultiMarkdown v4 instead of the Discount Markdown library.

Support for rsync

Marc Beuchat 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 3

I work on development trees with thousands of files. The code revision system we use is Perforce. I use this great app to review code when travelling and commuting.

For me, the ideal would be to have the ability to sync the copy I have on my iPad with changes to the source tree checked out on my workstation. Rsync sounds like a nice solution since there are both Windows and UNIX servers that can be run on the workstation. Security is not an issue since the syncing would occur over the local office network or when connected from remote via VPN.

Create .h and .m file at once

Felix 14 years ago 0
It would be cool if you can add a .h file and and a .m(m) file at one, with the same name. (e.g. this option only appears once you named your first file .h)
Perhaps the .m file could even automatically import the .h file.

Textastic is not interpreting quotes correctly when colouring the code.

thebookyard 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 1
I am editing in PHP syntax mode but Textastic is not interpreting quotes correctly when colouring the code. A line like $sql="update COMPANY set name = '" . $name . "' "; will interpret the first single quote as closing the first double quote.  See example below of this effect.
Must say that apart from this I think this product is fantastic and have been waiting for a stable code editor with SFTP support for years. Thankyou.

Downloading hundreds of files crashes the app

Marc Beuchat 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 5
I work with development trees that contain 1000s of files. If I try to download a folder that contains more than 400 files, the app crashes. The Transfer Progress dialog shows the number of files/folders that need to be downloaded and then it freezes for a bit and finally the app closes. This happens with connections to dropbox and to a WebDAV server.
Answer
I could fix this bug for Textastic 3.1.

There were a few issues at work here. The UI is now updated when you download a lot of files and I could fix a memory issue when directories are created.
