Howdy. I noticed that if I load an external folder that contains a folder called #Textastic, it will show the gear icon like it does in Local Files, but does not actually use the configurations in that folder.

Ideally it would be cool if it loaded those configurations and amends or overrides the Local Files versions, similar to how workspace settings function on VS Code, but a quicker fix might be to fix the icon switching logic to only do that in Local Files.

On iPad OS 26.1, I usually leave my work files opened in textastic in multiple windows and it was about fine until recently where it’s common for the files to be closed / empty after a while.

It would be nice to have more persistence of opened files, I suspect iPad OS being more agressive on memory usage lately could explain that ? 

I work with a lot of opened apps and external screen / stage manager : I try to keep textastic windows and blinkshell in a stage, files are remote (through shellfish) and textastic up to date (10.8.3)

Please provide an option for static (non-blinking) caret (text cursor) behavior in the code editor. Such an option has been generally implemented in iOS since iOS 18 (accessible in accessibility settings). I, and presumably others as well, find a blinking caret to be distracting.

After adding and external source using a Samba share as defined in the File App some entry files in the left side column are missing.

That happen on iPad and not on iPhone (bot with Ios26]

The samba server is Debian based and seems correctly configured (on iPhone is working)

Do you have any suggestion?

Attached you will fine some screenshots

When downloading a directory, the app fails to fetch empty files, for example the __init__.py files in python packages. The error message is always that it hit maximum number of redirects, but I don’t think that’s the actual problem, I’ve never seen this error for anything else than empty files.

Great app otherwise!

Hello, I've had the program for a few years now, and everything was working flawlessly. I was even working with it the day before yesterday, but now I can't open the app anymore. I've restarted, deleted the app, and reinstalled it, but nothing happens. I need help, please.

Using latest public versions & OS on iPad, when moving back and forth between a document in textastic window (remote source with shellfish) and a blinkshell window the cursor jumps to top of document (I have to repeat the switching several tilmes for this to start, but it seems consistent).

Happens on external monitor with stage manager active

this would match the find button location in Text editor, and it matches a new useful Liquid Glass convention for iOS touch users. I recognize this would likely diverge from iPad experience though.

The new glass UI looks wonderful and works a charm. Would it be possible to make the home page folders the same height as they were before? Prior to update, I could bookmark two more folders and still hit the "Recent Files" button. Now it is fully below the fold:
