iPad 2, iOS 8.4, editorial 1.2.1
Neither editorial://back nor editorial:// seems to be known to Safari.
However, editorial-http://google.com does switch to Editorial's browser

RE: URL-scheme "editorial://back" is unknown to Safari
Thank you, reboot of the device did help,
whereas safari and/or editorial restart did not fix it... -
RE: Dropbox - takedown request under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
I would like to repeat here my Feature Request from last year for any scrambling or Boxcryptor support ...
Using the very comfortable DropBox cloud lacks of security from spying eyes.
BoxCryptor implements some easy way of using encryption (and on PC even transparent file system integration).
I'am really searching for any (at best transparent) encryption solution inside Editorial before! saving to DropBox.
One simple attempt could be zipping with password and applying zip/unzip transparently into DropBox-stream. That zip and encrypt option ... will not cause problems in file handling on PC or Mac.
A general zip & encrypt module (plus base64 translation) will be usefull also for integration in e-mail workflow.
Further hints quickly found:
encryption
on GitHub
decryption / extraction ...do not know, how to use and integrate those findings.
Quite another attempt to think about might be Apples Passbook file type .pkpass and API.
It's a zip container of text and image files (think of markdown and referenced figures)
Important for/inside that container are a JSON definition file plus signature (pass code). -
RE: TextExpander snippet causes space bar to stop working
I also found keyboard lacking the space bar in several situations
- after changing from browser url input to editor
- after selection of text in workflow editor
- sometimes on changing focus from editor search field to editor window
However, tapping on just the opposite, i.e. search field (to change focus again) or alternatively switching between browser/editor did help to retstore the proper keyboard layout.
@Ole: Is there a way to have just the same enhanced keyboard of editor (with those special signs and cursor placing feature) for browser also?

RE: Problems with Editorial v1.2
Since the 1.2 update the browser bookmarks URL field denies javascript:....
I have tried a lot to get some extensively used bookmarklets running again by using the new introduced module Evaluate JavaScript instead.
In case of simply scrolling to page bottom or unlocking viewport zoom I was successful so far.But slightly more complex snippets as the official Firebug Lite code do not work here:
(function(F,i,r,e,b,u,g,L,I,T,E){if(F.getElementById(b))return;E=F[i+'NS']&&F.documentElement.namespaceURI;E=E?F[i+'NS'](E,'script'):F[i]('script');E[r]('id',b);E[r]('src',I+g+T);E[r](b,u);(F[e]('head')[0]||F[e]('body')[0]).appendChild(E);E=new%20Image;E[r]('src',I+L);})(document,'createElement','setAttribute','getElementsByTagName','FirebugLite','4','firebug-lite.js','releases/lite/latest/skin/xp/sprite.png','https://getfirebug.com/','#startOpened');
Same code with leading

does work very well in Safari bookmark url, what is going wrong here? -
RE: Feature: Preserve editor position when reloaded
Yes, I vote for remembering last edit position also.
Ole please do that in context of the new recent files list. -
RE: Problems with Editorial v1.2
Dear Ole,
Thanks a lot for your update and all those amazing enhancements!However there are some issues (iPad2 iPhone5s iOS 8.3), I wonder:
- How to fix the "javascript" URL scheme error? Internal Browser does not further handle my previously often used bookmarklet:
javascript:%20document.querySelector(%22meta%5Bname=viewport%5D%22).setAttribute('content',%20'width=device-width;%20initial-scale=1.0;%20maximum-scale=3.0;%20user-scalable=1;');%20void(0);
- Browser web tabs and its title are kept well over time and any task/app jump, but after more or less time when memory was swapped out the reload icon disappears, only close tab icon is shown...
- Why/when the surf history of an browser web tab gets lost ... seams already after doing some editing/previewing only?
- DropBox (subfolder) synchronisation works not properly. iPhone 5s first did not found a word which was present in iPad's search results. Dropbox root sync tap did not help. Entering the sub directory and searching fails also until repeated sync from within that subfolder.
Global search inside all files felt more convenient formerly because the search string was taken over into the editors search field, allowing for effortless quick scrolling to requested context. Now tap on in-editor search (required!) will show circulate/jump arrows, however, without feedback of the string taken over.
How would it be possible to open any inside browser web page (or Dropbox file) using just that html-mode with syntax highlighting as used for your Preview style editing?
Best regards

History - editorial should remember something
Editorial should remember (optionally at best) the last view as well last edited cursor and page view scroll position for each document!
Especially on working / changing between several documents it drives me crazy to find / jump quickly to my last position. The same applies to changes between mark down edit (say any late in document position). Previewing to ckeck just the result of that edit I did just seconds before should not scroll to top of document…
If other users really prefer to start on top of documents (loading or previewing) this option of quick jump to last position could be simply bonded to long tap of the document manager choice resp. the preview button. And please remember at least a last search string per file (better a search history list).

RE: Snippet and Workflow management
Regarding Workflows...
Edit / View workflow lacks either any undo option or escape without storing changes !
I have found neither pressing "Done Button" nor most left close down icon to neglect accidently disturbed module´s order while swiping to scroll the screen only...

Time to Load
I miss any confirmation request before long lasting downloads from dropbox
and bold file name listing only for editable / viewable filetypes!
(I went in a that pitfall by choosing a wrong video file to edit...)I do not know about the underlying complexity of editorial's python system to be loaded firstly. However, switching between apps results in longer waiting before editorial is ready to work. What is about deferred loading of modules when needed?

Improvements for DropBox Support
Forum request indicate some trouble for beginners to figure out how to work with DropBox.
Suggestions:
-
the file manager edit mode "Move" dialouge should get target "DropBox" Documents (in addition to existing "Local" Documents)
-
a default workflow smart copy/move file in editor to DropBox should be included on appstore delivery already
A further issue:
Recent document list (as well as editor´s file title bar) do not indicate the file location ! How to distinguish local versus dropbox documents (of same name)?
I think local vs. remote files (i.e. name/title bar as well as storage space listing in file manager) should be marked consistently by any color mapping ... even to reflect non-synchronity of remote file if off-line!

Browser Enhancements
The browser history should get access by a jump list popup on long tap of navigation buttons.
Basicly the browser works with several tabs already (i.e. Preview,Console,Help). What's about some low number of (at least 2) browsing tabs for faster switching between www contents to view?
As wished already 2 tabs (i.e. windows) should get stacked or may set set side by side for comparing...

Encryption and Decryption workflow
Using the very comfortable DropBox cloud lacks of security from spying eyes.
I miss either BoxCryptor support or any Encryption/Decryption workflow!BoxCryptor implements some easy way of using encryption (and on PC even transparent file system integration). I'am really searching for any (at best transparent) encryption solution inside Editorial before saving to DropBox and asked here for at least a simple solution as followes:
What is about zip compression scrambled with password and applying zip/unzip completely transparent into editorial´s DropBox-stream?
That zip and encrypt option will also reduce online transfer volume and speed up synchronisation and will not cause problems in file handling on PC or Mac. A general zip & encrypt module (plus base64 translation) will be usefull for integration in e-mail workflow also.Some hints quickly found: encryption on GitHub, decryption / extraction … I do not know, how to use and integrate those findings.
Quite another attempt one could think about might be Apples Passbook API.
File type .pkpass is a zip container of text and image files (i.e. markdown and referenced figures here) Important for/inside that container are a JSON definition file plus signature (pass code). Drawback is a lacking PC support. -
Outliner Functionality for .md files
Outline view functionality was requested already by Michael, here is my suggestion how Ole may implement it please:
The pulldown list of # chapters / ## sections is basically an outline view of folded text snippets in background.
Indeed it has to reflect documents hierarchie much more better by list item indentation accordingly to headline level (simply by the corresponding number of leading white spaces).In a second step that pulldown list should be turned into an editable one. The current workflows list implements exactly all functionality needed: re-arranging order, deleting and renaming items. That would lead a great user experience for editing from the outline view.
Finally in background the corresponding content snippets (chapters, sections) must be kept in just the same order if headlines were changed...
