You should be able to download Textastic 5.3.1 from the App Store on your iPad. If it's not in the Updates tab, try to look at the "Purchased" tab in the App Store.


It's probably best to do it this way:

- delete Textastic 6 from your iPad (this deletes all files that you might have stored in Textastic 6)

- download Textastic 5.3.1 from the App Store

- launch Textastic 5.3.1 once

- download Textastic 6 again from the App Store

- launch Textastic 6 -> your files should be there

If this worked, it is now save to delete Textastic 5.3.1 (this is the app with the shadow at the bottom of the icon).


Deleting Textastic 6 is not strictly necessary, but this should be the safest way.

If you have the latest version of Textastic 5 (5.3.1) installed on the device and then download and open Textastic 6, it should access the same files and settings as Textastic 5.

Awesome, that's great to hear!

Currently not, sorry.


To work properly, code completion for SQL would probably need to be able to connect to an SQL server so it can complete table and field names. This is out of the scope of Textastic.

You can add custom syntax definitions to Textastic by using TextMate bundles. See

A quick search for "rst tmbundle" in Google brought up this TextMate bundle which should work:

Is this still a problem for you? I cannot reproduce this anymore on iOS 9.3.2.

Do you see any messages in the Console app when this happens?

This is just a wild guess, but maybe it is trying to open a remote file that it can't reach anymore?


Please try to delete this folder (use "Go to Folder" in Finder):
~/Library/Containers/com.textasticapp.textastic-mac/Data/Library/Saved Application State/com.textasticapp.textastic-mac.savedState/

Deleting this folder should remove all saved window state so that it isn't restored on the next launch of the app.

I don't think that's possible with how the system currently works.

I see, thanks for the explanation. That makes it easier for me to build a test scenario.

I'm curious: what do you use the symlinks for in your project?
