Share Unofficial User Scenarios

Post by enric »

I did the steps
- create the CPF file
- create the LST file that point to the CPF

Then I dropped both to Dropbox public folder (this is not clear enough in the instructions) I hope that is that should be done.
The link of the LST obtained from Dropbox file is supposed to be the link to download the scenario (this is not clear enough in the instructions).

Then go to iPad, and in campaigns/user downloads there is a new button at the right top of the window.
Here a request ask for the URL the (+) paste buttons seems to do nothing. (on the iPad usually a double tap on a writable area opens the paste option)
Putting the cursor on the field covers the paste button so not possible to paste then.
Entering char by char is a old DOS experience, if you make a mistake you should delete all chars until the mistaken char and retype everything.
After this you thing it's done, but going to challenges there is not here. You should still download it.
After all, it works.
It's not a candidate to user interface award. :)

We've talked internally about some of these issues - including the need to download. There should be a popup when you download the LST file telling you you need to download - if there isn't then that is a bug. We don't download immediately in case (e.g.) the download is large or there are >1 campaigns in the LST file.

Can you please post the specific parts of the instructions you don't find clear enough - I felt I had put in too *many* clarifications, so...

The paste button does what it says - it should paste in the link if you have copied it from another app. What else would you expect it to do? I'd love to allow all the iPad normal text editor functionality, but it only works with standard iPad UI, which is both ugly and doesn't play nice with games.

Not sure by what you mean by "putting the cursor on the field covers the paste button" - what covers it?

Cheers

If there is, I did not see it, maybe should be more evident.

The paste button do nothing.
I pasted the clipboard content to other apps to see it, and it exists.

As the paste buttons does not work I though that maybe first I need to put the cursor in the field before pushing the paste button, but, when putting the cursor on the field, the keyboard opens and cover the paste button.

k - there is indeed a popup after downloading the LST file. It's pretty clear that you need to then download them from the list, and explains how they look different etc. Not sure what else I can do really.

The paste functionality just isn't there - I must have gotten interupted while I did it, and so only the windows code exists. Fixed now, so will be there in the next update.

I will check the keyboard stuff - I can easily move the dialog a little higher to make it all accessible.

Thanks for all the info.

Cheers

Pip
