This behavior is not a bug in Textastic, but a limitation of iOS. It is documented in the manual at https://www.textasticapp.com/v7/manual/integration_other_apps/external_files_folders.html

"Opening external folders only works when the files and folders are stored locally on the device. This is typically true for Git clients and the “On my iPad/iPhone” location, but also for apps like Documents by Readdle.

It does not work when folders are stored in the cloud. For cloud providers like iCloud Drive or Microsoft OneDrive, you can only open individual files, not folders."

Note: A future update of Textastic will add support for adding external iCloud Drive folders. 

Hello,

you need to make sure that you use type="module" in the script tag in the html file, like this:

<script src="file2.js" type="module"></script>

Also, it should probably be 

import sum from "./file1.js"; 

in the first line of file2.js.

Thanks for the video! I'll look into it.

I'm aware of a crash that happens to some users when restoring the application state on macOS 10.13.6. It does not seem to happen on 10.14 Mojave.

Please try the following to fix the problem:

• Go to Finder
• Select Go -> Go to Folder…
• Enter "~/Library/Containers/com.textasticapp.textastic-mac/Data/Library/" and press Go
• Delete the folder "Saved Application State"
• Try to launch Textastic

If that doesn't help, you can also try to delete the folder "~/Library/Containers/com.textasticapp.textastic-mac" which will remove all preferences, saved application state, custom syntax definitions, themes and templates. It won't delete your documents.

I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly is causing the crash.

Currently not, but I'm actively working on adding this feature in the next major version of Textastic which is going to be a free update for existing users.

Thank you. I've been looking for a Firebug Lite replacement for mobile devices and this project does indeed look promising!

Welches Protokoll möchten Sie denn verwenden? Typischerweise verwendet man auch im lokalen Netzwerk SFTP.

I need to look into it.

Here's a trick that might help you in the meantime: as you probably know, you can tap on the status bar once to scroll to the top of the file. You can then tap a second time to scroll to the end of the file.

Please only use relative paths: 

• to reference a file in the same folder, use href="file.css"
• to reference a file in a subfolder, use href="subfolder/file.css"
• to reference a file one above the current folder, use href="../file.css"

"/" would reference the root of the preview server, which won't work.

I'm using the macOS/Cocoa state restoration mechanism to restore files and windows, so I don't think I can easily separate them, sorry.

I hope you can live with the workaround you mentioned for now.
