Thanks. Cocoa error 4 happens, when the app tries to create a file in a directory that doesn't yet exist. I had another user report a similar problem with a Dropbox connection just two days ago. I'll try to reproduce it.

What's the problem with creating folders for your projects?
There is no support for VBS, sorry, but the "ASP vb.NET" syntax definition might be better than nothing in this case, too.
Yes, you can select from a large number of character encoding when opening files. Just tap-and-hold a file and choose "Open with Encoding".
Yes, you can install custom TextMate bundles since Textastic 4.0. There's a bundle for JADE available at https://github.com/miksago/jade-tmbundle
See http://www.textasticapp.com/v4/manual/lessons/How_can_I_add_my_own_syntax_definitions__themes_and_templates.html for instructions on how to install it.
Textastic has haml support built-in.
Thanks for the suggestions.
1. You can show a list of recently opened files by tapping on the file name. See http://www.textasticapp.com/v4/manual/lessons/How_can_I_show_a_list_of_recently_opened_files_How_can_I_close_the_current_file.html

4. In which cases does it fail to upload?
5. You can quickly upload and download changes for files that you have already downloaded: http://www.textasticapp.com/v4/manual/lessons/How_can_I_quickly_upload_downloaded_files.html
You are right, this currently doesn't work. I don't have a workaround, sorry. I'll see if I can fix it in an update.
You can already select the syntax definition in the File Properties popover. The selected syntax will be used for all files with the same file extension.
I just tried it myself successfully using the third method. Please tap "No" when the message about the file being binary is displayed.
After that, just tap on the zip file and it will be extracted. This only works in Textastic 4.1 though - make sure that you are using the latest version.
Navigate into the newly created folder and move the folder "ExpressionEngine 2.0.tmbundle" into the "#Textastic" folder. (see http://www.textasticapp.com/v4/manual/lessons/How_can_I_move__copy_and_rename_files_and_folders.html on how to do that)
Then restart the app.
You need to get the files into Textastic first. There are several ways how you can do this:
- Download it on your computer and copy it to your Dropbox or an FTP server and download it using Textastic
- You could also send it as an email attachment to yourself and use "Open In..." in Mail
- Probably the easiest way: in Safari on the iPad, replace "http://" in the download url with "textastic://" and it will download the zip file in Textastic. So for the bundle you mentioned, use this url: textastic://bitbucket.org/jeremybise/expressionengine-2-bundle/downloads/expressionengine-2-bundle-tip.zip
When you have the zip file in Textastic, and unzip the folder by tapping on it and move it into the #Textastic folder as shown in the manual.
