  1. I wanted a split screen display for iPad Storyist. I searched and googled, but was told nuh uh, no Storyist split screen. For many years, I have used the iPad Split View at open mics where I use the 2-app Split View on my iPad to read/perform my Storyist story in one view, and play Music (plugging my iPad into the sound system) in the other view. And later, it hit me: why not open Storyist twice at the same time? I opened Storyist twice in the 2-app Split View. I opened the same manuscript in both views. And thus I could easily view, cut and paste, and edit different sections of the same document. Edits in one view (of course) show up in the other view. So simple that I thought, "Well, duh!" I use an 11-inch M2 iPad Pro. Yes, the text gets very tiny when I use Split View with Storyist, but I can still read it (I have good blended bifocal glasses). One more thing: a Bluetooth mouse makes selecting, sutting, and pasting large sections of text much easier. Nice for the novel-in-progress. (I will also practice select-copy-cut-paste with my Apple Pencil, although I like my mouse better for that. So far.)
  2. I thought I would try Google Drive to sync between my MacBook Pro and my iPad. I created a folder on my MacBook and copied a couple of my Storyist files into it. When I look at those files on my iPad using Google Drive inside Storyist, the filenames are greyed out and I cannot open them for editing. How do I get Google Drive on my iPad to allow me to write/edit my Storyist files?
  3. A couple of times at coffee shops, the Storyist project that I am writing will get lots of conflicted copies in Dropbox. As in 10 to 40 conflicted copies. Anyone else have that problem? Any idea on how to fix it or at least what is causing the problem? P.S. Tonight I went into the Storyist iPad app in Settings, and set it to sync via Dropbox instead of iCloud. I do not know if that will make a difference or not. I will find out.
