If you do not see the iCloud Symbol in pythonista under

Script Library

• This iPhone/iPad
• iCloud (<- if you do not see this)

or if your iCloud drive does not contain a folder for pythonista when you want to setup the sync in working copy.

Then just head over to the ios settings and choose iCloud and enable pythonista to be able to use the iCloud.

Until iOS13 you could simply open the working copy folder in pythonista as an external folder. This is not possible in iOS 13 with the current version of pythonisa since apple altered the document picker API for folders. See the two threads https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/5817/can-t-add-external-folder-from-working-copy-via-files-app-folders-are-not-selectable-all-folders-inside-files-app-popup and https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/5843/ios-13 for a temporary solution ... We hope that the developer @omz will adapt the new release which is currently in the beta for that new iOS13 documentpicker folder API though.

@eddo888 This is a very caring and friendly thoughtful idea of you but I don't think @omz needs a fund for further development. ;-) According to this sales stat https://sensortower.com/ios/us/omz-software/app/pythonista-3/1085978097/overview pythonista3 is currently generating 30K US$ income per month... At the moment @omz might be very busy with other things ... But I am very confident there will be further development by him ...

@eddo888 thank you for pointing me to the sync feature of workingcopy. I will use this meanwhile. It works fine. Still hope that @omz fixes the external directory feature of pythonista in iOS13 soon.

Hi @pavlinb

thanks for testing... ;-) I have to precise the test case

test case1: opening a single file located in an folder of another app via apples document picker (this works)
test case2: opening a folder located in another app via apples document picker (does it work ?)

I bet test case2 is what @mikael means with

"Specifically, can you verify that opening external folders works? "

the difference is:
in case1 as a result you see a single file in pythonista, you can edit it and it will be saved in the "providing" app (for example iclouddrive or workingcopy)

in case2 as a result you should see in pythonista a folder with (typically) a bunch of files and subfolders in it. You can run them, edit them and changes will be saved in the "providing" app (for example iclouddrive or workingcopy (which is a git client))

@pavlinb upon opening external files in pythonista a file dialog pops up. You navigate to the source folder you like to open. Then you have to click on "select"(or whatever it is in your language) in the upper right corner. Then normal under normal circumstances the folders are now selectabe, that means you can choose one by touching (if not choosen an empty circle, if choosen a filled circle). If you now did this, the formerly "select" in the upper right corner changes to "open". When you click now "open" then you opened the complete folder from another app (e.g. working copy) in pythonista.

What I expirienced is that it there are problems in displaying the circles on the folder icons... Don't know yet who is to blame for it iOS13.0 or the regular pythonista.

still to test 13.1 and pythonista beta....

I tried the regular appstore version of pythonista and the regular iOS13 and external folders from workingcopy where not selectable. Worse yet previously existing folders from working copy where no longer visible in pythonista.

Not tested the beta version of pythonista. Maybe it fixes the external folder reference ?

if not I hope iOS13.1 is going to fix this...

Very cool stuff !! 😃

Vous etes super 😍 👍🏻 Je tellement aimes votre messages. That was my school french sorry it is poor too. 😌
