Storyist app export7/25/2023 ![]() I can save as RTF and export to iWork or cut and paste into the App, but this loses all my Chapter/scene breaks and makes it a real pain to put my edits back into Storyist. I have messed around with Pages and MyWritingNook and while both apps are pretty good, they do not really play well with Storyist. So I got my iPad on 4-3-10 and I have been actively trying to find an app that would let me edit my novels/stories that I have been writing in Storyist on my laptop. Maybe it is just Mobile Document Viewer though. I think your emailing experience does answer the question about if you can email things for non-apple apps though, which is a bit disappointing. If you aren't the person who left the second review in iTunes, someone else is having the same problems. Their support link is broken on iTunes and their website is horrible. I looked on Google and I couldn't find anything. Heh, I was actually suggesting ways that a Storyist app might work, but I am glad to have inadvertently tried to help. doc files (ditto in Pages), but Mail doesn't recognize this Mobile Document Viewer at all. I can't imagine how the developer expects an average user to decode such gobbledegook-or even to use Terminal.Īnd yes, I tried e-mailing, which works great for PDFs (they open in Quick Look) and. My firewall is set to let in traffic from my router subnet, so I don't know why it would block this. And that's where I've been stuck ever since. User guide tells me to ping the address through Terminal (no result) and "Adjust your firewall settings," but doesn't say how. Then Safari announces it cannot find the iPad address. First a window pops up asking me for a user name and password (not mentioned in the documentation, so I have no idea which user name and password it wants). So I went to the user guide, which hasn't been updated for the iPad and turns out to be missing a few steps. But this Mobile Document Viewer, while it shows up as an app, doesn't appear in the list of apps that can transfer files. If you've connected an iPad, you can send files back and forth with ease by clicking "Add" or "Save as". In the new iTunes, you click on Apps and find a list of apps that can transfer files. I assumed it would work the same way as Pages and some other apps do. Far as I can tell, it has no desktop equivalent. It also lets you organize stuff in folders, which is useful. But I thought it would be an inexpensive way to access a bunch of different types of files in one place. Not a big deal, since Quick Look will display PDFs and Pages will open. I paid $6.99 for something called Mobile Document Viewer, which displays Word, Excel, PDF, and other files on the iPhone and iPad. I think that could work for a Storyist app, unless going through iTunes would be easier (though I can't imagine it would be.) Lots of other apps can email backups and restore your backed up data via the web without going through iTunes. ![]() Though, maybe that's reserved for Apple Apps only? I would also think emailing the file could work as well, the same way their template works. I can imagine a Storyist App doing the same thing. ![]() M, couldn't transferring files work like the Stanza app does? I don't think you've used it unless they've got one for iPad, but on the iPhone, you just go into the "download books" section and if you have Stanza Desktop open (with sharing enabled), it finds it wirelessly and you can pull a file from your computer that way. even those of us who don't have an iPad yet. Oh yes, we are wailing and have been wailing. It would also need to transfer files as Pages does, through iTunes (she wrote after wasting about two hours trying to figure out some goofy non-Storyist iPad app that tried to use Web browsers for transfer, so far to no avail). ![]() doc myself, though.Ī simple Storyist app that could display the project pane and a manuscript, maybe in a couple of different views, so that you could keep working on the file from the iPad and avoid import/export would be great. I haven't tried importing a screenplay from. You should also be able to set the Import Assistant to recognize the styles for character, dialogue, etc. ![]() When you read the file back in, Storyist should recognize (or accept instructions to recognize) your scene headings, as it recognizes chapters in novels (and sections, but it doesn't know what to call them, which is understandable if a big pain). You can get around the RTF limitations of Pages by exporting your Storyist file as. Yes, several iPad-owning beta testers, myself included, were wailing at Steve's feet even before the iPad itself hit the stores on April 3. ![]()
