@JonB I think that nothing really runs when locked, notifications excepted

Thank you. It can be a great alternative to my problem, you have my thanks @mikael.

Thanks @mikael and @JonB! I'll take a look at those options...using the notification center to register for the lock-related notifications seems like a decent solution.

Has anyone noticed anything of this nature? I haven't had a chance to try making some simple tests to see if it is "normal" behavior for a socket to become disconnected when the device is locked/sleeps.

@djl My first post on this topic already gave it 😂

@JonB @cvp

First, thanks for both responding!
To answer the questions you both bring up:

It does need to be done programmatically, this is for picking a folder from within a running UI.

The Files sheet UI definitely seems to be able to pick a folder...at least, I've seen other apps use it for that purpose. Even pythonista itself can select a folder from the Files sheet for import and other things.

If it's just that pick_document() is restricted to only picking files, and cannot pick folders, that's what I'd want to know.

@aidensala and you can do very complex (for me 😀) process, like in this topic

Perfect IT WORKS!!
now the problem is how to deselect all :D but i can get to it!

Ok thanks for the workaround! I will try it.

@dgelessus It’s easy to find unencrypted ipas for pretty much any app you want. Re-sign it with a developer ID, and you can install them on devices without jailbreak. I think there are sites that'll register your device in a developer account for much less than the $99/a you'd pay to Apple...

That worked perfectly, thank you!

IOS applications can register to recieve "notifications" of certain system events.Since pythonista has a bridge to objectivec, it is possible to tap into those events, and register a python function to be called when the event occurs.

This code probably needs to handle cleared globals, and multiple runs ("deregister" the object), etc but would work for the simple use case presented.

There were a few topics about this. See here or here, or omz had a blog post here.

@cvp , thanks for replying. I also had a wick go with launcher. Also no luck. It's ok. Not a big deal. Just a nice to have 🙄😬

Also works on iPhone 6s. It feels a lot snappier. Even though I have Pythonista on my phone, I have never used it for other than testing. But when you are coding who needs animations with the programming interface.

Can also confirm, if you do a hard shutdown of Pythonista, on relaunch everything is back to original. That's why I have put mine in the pythonista_startup.py (1.6 only)

@tgnelsgolf the preview/web browser can be opened by sliding any where on screen except for on the toolbar. In other words you can open it by sliding from the middle of the screen and this should help to reduce the conflict of ios9 features.
Remember that the current version of Editorial was made pre iOS 9, so when it was made it did not need to cater for anything in relation to the features that iOS 9 added. Updating an application like Editorial takes time.
