I have not seen such a problem on my devices. Can you please try if a reboot of your device fixes it?

If you use the "Open…" command in Textastic, the iOS document picker is invoked. The document picker only allows you to open text files recognized by the system - for this to work, the file needs to have a file extension known to the system. Otherwise it would be possible to open for example image files or Pages documents which Textastic cannot edit.


If the file is stored in "Local Files" or "iCloud" it is possible to open files with any extension - Textastic checks the file's contents and detects if it is a binary or text file. You can use the built-in clients for (S)FTP, Dropbox, Google Drive and WebDAV to download files into these locations.

Yes, we currently do not have a solution to open folders from Working Copy in Textastic on iPhone. In one of the betas it was possible to select a folder in the document picker, but they removed that feature. We hope that Apple adds it back in an iOS 11 point release.

Hello, yes, I had to remove it because of compatibility problems with the new Files app on iOS 11. It wasn't fully supported anyway since Textastic 5.3.1 because Textastic doesn't store its files in the default Documents folder anymore, but in a so-called app group container.

I've noticed the same problem. This seems to be a bug in Git2Go - please contact Git2Go support.

You can already find and replace in a single file (Cmd-Option-F). 


Do you mean find and replace in multiple files?

Do you see this problem with Google Drive? I'm asking because I'm aware of a bug in the latest Dropbox update that cannot be fixed by a reboot.


Until Dropbox fixes their app, please use Textastic's built-in Dropbox support: https://www.textasticapp.com/v6/manual/lessons/How_do_I_access_files_in_my_Dropbox_account.html

Hello, thanks a lot for your review, I really appreciate it!


The additional row of keys in Textastic is just that: an additional row above the native iOS keyboard. Third party keyboards on iOS generally replace the whole keyboard. I cannot just add my own buttons to the standard keyboard. Obviously, recreating the behavior of the native keyboard is a lot of work, and a few features are not even possible to replicate.


On iOS 11, it will be possible to swipe down all keys on the native keyboard to enter special keys which might make Textastic's keyboard obsolete anyway.

Hello,


before Textastic 6, which was released in March 2016, there were separate apps for iPad and iPhone. Textastic 6 is a universal app that can be used on both iPad and iPhone. I assume you have a version of Textastic before v6.


Textastic 6 is the first paid upgrade since version 1.0 was released in 2010. 


Implementing split view multitasking, making the app universal and supporting iPad Pro required a rewrite of large parts of the app. Charging for Textastic 6 allows me to continue to dedicate resources to improving it.


Among other features, Textastic 6.1 added Google Drive remote connections. Textastic 6.2 added new fonts and the ability to open Git repositories from Working Copy as external folders. Emmet support and a JavaScript console was added in Textastic 6.3.


Best regards,
