Importing images from non Photos app
Please can you introduce a way to import images from other sources, such as Google Drive or the iPad's own file system. If I save an image out from (say) Photoshop at reduced quality to reduce the file size, there is no way to import it into Textastic. Correct me if I am wrong!
Hostname and iPad
I have a simple but irritating problem when setting up the terminal connection from an iPad. Would the hostname be http://(plus my IP address)? I ask because no combination of the settings appears to work.
No matter how simple I make the password/username, they’re unrecognized and when I try the public key, I don’t have authorization.
So... since I want the terminal to work without any ID or password, I am assuming that I’ve wrongly configured the iPad’s hostname. You have the example of textastic.com, I think... but what’s the structure of an end-user such as myself?
I presumed it was the IP address, expressed as a URL— and that brings me back to the start of my message :-)
Thanks
how to access all the files on my ipad?
I find no way to do this. How can I drag and drop on an ipad!!! Why can I not simply aceess the files app or other apps files?
Please use the "Open…" command in Textastic to open files from the Files app using the iOS document picker.
You can also use "Add External Folder…" to add folders from iCloud Drive or apps like the Git client Working Copy as an external folder to Textastic.
Have a look at this topic in the manual for details: https://www.textasticapp.com/v9/manual/integration_other_apps/external_files_folders.html
Running python code in SSH
Hello,
Maybe I am being dense, but I cannot see how I could execute/run python code I've written in my SSH terminal window.
Example: I'm editing a file called "main.py" in Textastic with "print("Hello World!"). I want to be able to open the SSH terminal (into my local server) and be able to type "python main.py" to see "Hello World!" printed inside the SSH terminal window.
How do I achieve this without having to manually copy and paste code?
Hello,
I would do it like this:
- create the python file(s) in Textastic in a folder within "Local Files" or "iCloud"
- use the file transfer screen to upload the files to your server using an SFTP connection
- use the SSH terminal to run the python file on your server using the same connection
- when you now make changes to the python files on your iPad, you can use the "Quick Upload" feature of Textastic to upload your file with two taps or a keyboard shortcut (Cmd-Option-Up)
Please have a look at these topics in the manual for details:

Quickly Upload/Download: https://www.textasticapp.com/v10/manual/remote_servers/quick_upload_download.html
Shortcut File
Hey,
Add a folder from textastic with files you can select to be there, these will include this feature. Make siri shortcuts get file context from the selected file of textastic using icloud. Thanks, sorry if this was badly explained!
Now a idea, let us ajust the themes on this website for our self if possible, thanks also! ^-^
Adding Rmd syntax highlighting
Hello! First of all let me say: This is a great app! I’ve been using it for a week now and I love it!
I was trying to add syntax highlighting for .rmd files but the highlighting isn’t working. I followed the steps in the blogpost I saw linked in other topics, and used this .tmbundle I found on GitHub. But the syntax isn’t rendering, either I did something wrong, or the bundle isn’t working, I’d appreciate a little help fixing it.
Here’s a print showing a .rmd file and correctly detected highlight:
Thanks in advance =)
Lua
Hello, may I get some help? I am trying to make custom themes, and as well trying to make code completion and add custom keywords to the Code: Lua. The thing is I am on mobile so I don’t know how to get the uuid from lua. I really need a Code Completer for lua. Thank you!
Opening in Safari
Well, I dived in and purchased. It looks quite nice. I do have one question though (for now).
I touched on an html file in my iCloud Drive. It now opens by default in Textastic, which is fine. I edited it and that worked. And I touched the little eyeglasses icon and I could see the file as a web page, and that worked.
But, when I touch the ... icon and touch "open in Safari" nothing happens. How would I open the file in Safari?
Thanks.
Built-in Preview window making several requests at the same time
I am using the built-in preview to check my remote code after I upload it to the server. I do this periodically. Recently I started to notice that if I do it very often after a while my server started to reply with 508. I checked the logs and it seems the AppleWebKit is making several requests at once instead of just 1 normal request. The more I use it seems the more requests it makes. it seems it goes back to normal if kill Textastic and open it again. I suspect the Preview window is not getting killed properly and is running on the background.
