Without seeing what you are doing exactly, it's hard to tell what might be going on.

Are you sure you are not closing the window accidentally or opening a new, empty window?

For example, if you use the red X button, the window is closed and opened files are not restored when opening Textastic again. In this case, a new window is created when returning to Textastic.

What happens if you show the context menu of Textastic's app icon (right click or tap and hold) and select "Show All Windows"? (You can also use Window > Show All Windows in the iPadOS menu bar).

"Show All Windows" shows all windows that can be restored.

Does it maybe show the window with the files you are looking for?


If the window with the files is indeed gone and you can reproduce the issue, it would be great if you could send me a screen recording video.

I can confirm that the accessibility setting currently doesn't seem to be honored.

Textastic actually uses the standard system text selection and insertion point (UITextInteraction), so any system accessibility settings should be respected.

I'll try to find out what's going on. Thanks for letting me know.

SMB connections in the Files app have been very unreliable for me in the past.

It works fine immediately after connecting to an SMB server, but as soon as it gets disconnected, it won't reconnect reliably. You need to recreate the SMB connection in the Files app and add it to Textastic again to make it work again when it is in this state. This is something out of my control that Apple has to fix.

I wouldn't recommend using SMB shares with the Files app. I have seen the problem you are describing as well as hangs when using the iOS Files app's built-in SMB client (not related to Textastic, reproducible in other apps like iA Writer). Instead, I recommend to use Textastic's built-in SFTP client:

If you need live editing, I can recommend the app "Secure ShellFish" which allows you to connect to SFTP servers from the Files app and works great with the external folder feature of Textastic (the app's "Pro Unlock" is required for uploading changes):

You’re welcome. Just let me know if you have any other questions. 

Hello,

when you cancel the subscription and the trial expires after one week, you should be able to get the one-time purchase of Textastic Pro. In Textastic, go to Settings -> Textastic Pro and you should either see the paywall or your current subscription status.

This is fixed in Textastic 10.8.3, which was just released.

This was fixed in libcurl and will be fixed in the next update of Textastic.
