#Texpad access whole dropbox update
(Ideally, a future update would introduce a more transparent package manager. It downloads a trimmed version of texlive-full, so it can compile using pdfTeX without an internet connection. It is meant to make taking LaTeX notes on iPad more convenient. When I got the iPad, I remember searching for the available LaTeX options, but the existing LaTeX apps in the App Store felt a bit underpowered (compared to what one can do on a desktop). There are many great apps for taking notes (GoodNotes, Notability, etc) but most of them felt targeted for more general subjects. In iOS I must manually trigger a sync prior to going offline, and then leave the app open until it finishes lest the sync get cut off with no notification in the background.I wanted to share about the existence of a (paid) LaTeX app that my friends and I built for iPadOS.
On my laptop I know that if I shut down and next time I open it up I’m offline, all my cloud files are there. Not individual developers.įurther, there is no ‘real’ sync. Files should be handled by the operating system. This is a monumentally stupid way of doing things. The Files app kind of tries to centralize that but it doesn’t support every service, and not every app fully supports Apple’s method here. That means every app handles files a bit differently. It was mentioned above, but the main issue is that Apple has left file management integration in the hands of individual developers.

Literally every time I go to work with files on my iPad (and really, I’ve been trying - a lot more than usual since I got my 11” Pro - it does about 85% of what I need) - I end up jumping around from one app to another until I find the right combination of permissions to get what I need done. If you use primarily one cloud provider, that also happens to be a well integrated one, like iCloud or Dropbox, and your workflow is relatively simple, it’s probably not that big of a deal.īut when you deal with cloud providers outside of those two, things get messy, really quick. We’ve described what the problem is, many times, including right here in this thread.
It just doesn’t work if you can’t bypass the bean counters’ input on the decision to do the work or not, or give them something juicy they can send onto the users that greatly outweighs the costs. But as a developer, I also have to laugh at Apple expecting devs to spend effort adopting it without some carrot or stick involved. Elevating cloud providers to be “equal” in the document picker & Files is a worthy goal.

I’d also like a good SFTP provider that lets me reach into my Mac server more easily through the document picker (the existing ones are meh, at best, and Panic killed Transmit so that’s starting to age from lack of fixes).Īs a developer, I can see what Apple has been trying to build and how it is a good approach long term for having both a security-conscious filing system, and dealing with the reality that more folks are storing files on servers. The big gap though in my mind, is that Apple really should be integrating some core functionality as “providers” in Files, such as flash drive and SSD support. The document picker does a lot of smarter things that devs/users should be interested in, such as allowing an app to reach into Dropbox’s sandbox for a file, eliminating the need for copying files all over the device, but that support is spotty too since the provider and “consumer” of the file both need to support in-place viewing/editing, leading to another chicken/egg problem. And there’s still services that don’t integrate into the document picker, even now, but it’s becoming rare. So a lot of legacy still exists with the old integration. Then when Dropbox/etc dragged their heels integrating with the document picker (which became Files later), there was a good period of time where despite Apple having “the unifying solution”, apps weren’t really getting anything important by integrating, so they keep writing more custom integration. The problem is that apps needed this before iOS 8, so they implemented integration themselves using libraries provided by Dropbox/etc. It’s still messy, but that’s what Apple intends.
