In addition the sort order in the folder navigation view was corrected, which was confused by folder names beginning with numbers or special characters, and I fixed a minor issue, when the scroll position was slightly offset after leaving the app from the gallery. Now such synchs will be marked as unsuccessful. There were (rare) situations when a synch was considered successful although it wasn't, especially after several retries of file transmissions. Therefore it is now deleted on the iPad.As you can see synchronization relies heavily on the modification dates of files in combination with the last successful (!) synch. the file has already existed at the last successful synchronization, so it was on both sides afterwards, and was delete on Dropbox in the meantime.

When a file exists on the iPad, but not on Dropbox, and its modification date is before the previous synchronization: The same case vice versa.

So after the last sync it was deleted on the iPad and therefore needs to be deleted on Dropbox, too. When a file exists on Dropbox, but not on the iPad, and its modification date is before the previous synchronization: It can be assumed that this file has already existed at the last successful synchronization, was synchronized, and afterwards was available on both sides, Dropbox and StitchBuddy.For whose who are interested in details, there are two situations when StitchBuddy is deleting files on the iPad / iPhone:

It will take some time, but I'm confident iCloud-enabled versions of StitchBuddy will be available on iOS in the first half of 2017.Īn update of both iOS apps was released last night: The most important improvement of StitchBuddy HD / View v2.7.2 is a bugfix of the Dropbox synching: One user synching thousands of files with Dropbox reported incidentally deleted files.

Currently I'm working on a sample app, learning about strengths and weaknesses and how to deal with potential hick-ups. offering iCloud Drive to seamlessly share files between your computer and iOS devices.įor these reasons I've decided to migrate StitchBuddy HD / StitchBuddy View from Dropbox to iCloud synching in the next months. In addition iCloud has become more mature, e.g.

StitchBuddy's file synchronization was introduced in 2013, and despite various fixes and enhancements, there was and still is room for improvement: The synchronization process is quite fragile and especially for high numbers of designs pushed to its limits, so I have considered a redesign for quite some time.Īnd now it's time to move forward: Dropbox will shut down the functions I'm currently using end of June 2017 ( API v1), which would require a lot of code changes in StitchBuddy. So I decided to look into cloud-based file synchronization.īack in those days Apple's iCloud was lacking an official way to access files on Macs or Windows computers, leaving me with its most prominent competitor, Dropbox. When I introduced StitchBuddy View as a universal app on iOS, documents of StitchBuddy should become accessible on all devices, for all StitchBuddy companion apps, and without the hassle of iTunes synching.
