trouble exporting fdx via email

[Harry Lime]

I'm trying to export a fdx file from my iPad via email, but all emails are received without content.

Oddly enough sending a rtf or txt version via email is not a problem.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem or am I doing something wrong?

 

I am using the latest version of Storyist and iOS.

 

thanks in advance

Hi Harry,

You've probably got ScriptsPro installed. There is a bug in ScriptsPro (described here) that prevents Storyist from importing or exporting FDX.

 

Unfortunately, the work-around in 1.0.2 is to uninstall ScriptsPro. I've added some code to 1.1 to detect this case and work-around the problem, but that won't be out for another week.

Thanks, that did the trick.

 

I did not have Scriptspro installed but Celtix and two other screenwriting programs.

 

thanks again

Hi Harry,

 

Thanks, that did the trick.

 

I did not have Scriptspro installed but Celtix and two other screenwriting programs.

 

I just checked Celtix here, and it doesn't define a universal type identifier for FDX, so it should be OK. FDX Reader is also fine (it defines the correct type for FDX).

 

What were the other two apps? I'll check those as well and include them in the work-around in the next release.
