    Mides adds space at the beginning of XML file
    I just wanted to point out that when I upload an XML file to a server, a space is added at the beginning of the file. The problem with this is when I call on the file with PHP, it gives me an error because of the space.
    I don't think the problem is with the FTP Put, just the editing process. Right now, I'm editing the file with parsing disabled. I have not tried it with parsing enabled, however.

    Macsman
    I have the same bug with the css. When parsing is off, the file is not editable. But when parsing is on, Mides seems to delete some of the code. For instance, it deletes all of my body, img, and other css tags that don't have anything attached to them (e.g. "." , "#") before and after the tag.

    Example:
    Mides will parse " li#header " but won't parse " li ".

    Thanks for working on these bugs!

    Okay, thanks for the tip! I had already found that setting but wasn't sure if that was the official thing.

    Thanks for all your work!

    Okay, I'm looking forward to it!
    Now that you said that, I tried the FTP Get from Mides to my Mac, and it created the folder for me.
    Thanks for your quick response!

    Copying and Pasting inside a full text mode
    I've lately been thinking on how to implement copying and pasting inside a full text mode, and I have an idea. I've split it up into steps to make it easier to read.

    1. You would place the cursor where you wanted to start the copying, and then double tap and hold your finger on the screen.
    2. Then, you could drag your finger to wherever you want to end the selection and then lift your finger from the screen.
    3. The text would be highlighted (maybe with the same colors as those on Mac OS X), and then you could tap either a "Copy" or "Cut" button and Mides would copy or cut the selection, respectively.
    4. Once you place the cursor where you want the text to be pasted, you could either tap a "Paste" button or the paste bar that you've already made. By pasting, though, it wouldn't delete the copied text in the clipboard. That way, you could paste the same thing multiple times.

    I hope this helps broaden the potential of Mides and a full text view.

    You could have a button kind of like the "Update All" button in the App store. For instance, if you were in the root on your FTP server, a "Get All" button would appear in the top right corner. If you were in a specific folder, maybe you could have a "Get Contents of Folder" button.
    In fact, to download folders, you could do what the Mail app does for moving and deleting emails: have an "Edit" button (or in this case a "Pick" button), and then you could select the specific files and folders you want. The same thing would also happen for the FTP Put section. You could also do the same thing for moving, copying, and deleting inside of Mides.

    One thing about Mides that prevents me from using it as portable alternative, however, is the fact that Mides can't download files that are inside of folders and automatically make the folders that file is in inside of Mides. Instead, Mides puts the name of the folder inside the name of the file (e.g. "cssbase.css" instead of "base.css" inside the folder "css"). It's the same thing for FTP put. If I had this ability, I would use Mides much more than I do now.

    Thanks for this wonderful app!

    Okay, now I figured it out. I did have to use %20 for spaces in the username.
    Thanks for your help!

    Macsman
    Okay, I turned on FTP sharing and tried with and without the ".local", and it still didn't work. I also made the folder /Sites.

    When I click on the address in FTP Get, it comes up saying "Connection failed! Error - bad URL (null)". Mides doesn't seem to even try to connect. I have everything filled out except for the "web server root address".

    In Dreamweaver, I have to type in "7*.***.**.**/~[username]" in the FTP host section. Then in the Host directory section, I write "Sites/[path to folder]". With that filled in plus the Username and Password, everything works.

    So, it doesn't appear to be a permissions issue.

    To clarify, I have been able to connect to remote FTP servers. So in that case, everything works fine.

    Thanks for your quick response!

    Connecting to Mac
    I can't seem to figure out how to connect to my Mac. I can use either the full IP address, the local IP address, or the .local address. I've tried all of them, but I can't seem to get the right settings. I've already turned on FTP sharing. All my files are in subfolders in the Sites folder. Could you help?

    Thanks!

    FTP Get/Put All option
    It would be nice to have an FTP Get/Put all function that would allow getting or putting an entire site. This would be especially helpful when putting a site into Mides that I'm working on already on my computer.

    Macsman replied on November 21, 2008 03:01 to the question "An idea for less typing while adding HTML tags" in Mides:

    Macsman
    Another thing that would be nice is automatically creating the ending tag. For instance, right now when you type in ' > ' when adding an element, the program places the ' ...< ' automatically. Would there be any way of recognizing what tag you just typed in and automatically fill in ' ...< /div > ' (or whatever tag you just entered) when you type ' > ' ? The spaces in the example are just so that you can see it in this post.

    I hope this makes sense.
    Your work is greatly appreciated!

    What if you had a suggestion system similar to the Google Mobile App? When you start typing, it starts to suggest things right above the keyboard. All you have to do is tap on it and it will fill that text in. Also, for stuff like href, could you have it automatically have it put the ' ="" ' and then put the cursor in the middle of quotes? It would also be great if you could browse through the webpages in Mides when you type src or href.

    This is a great app, and I can't wait to see it get even better!
