Not sure whether to start a new thread or post to this one, but this is broadly on the same topic.
I have a few questions re text files created / edited in the Pleco reader:
1. I have downloaded to my Mac some files that I manually created in the Reader, mainly as a form of back up. I did this using the upload / download files interface in File Manager. I chose to save them in my Dropbox folder , but it seems like you can actually just save them anywhere. It creates .webarchive files. Am I doing this correctly? The files are there on my Mac, but appear as gobbledygook if I open them. Is there a way to open them on my computer as Chinese text files, i.e. in the same format as I see them in Pleco? I would like to be able to use the files on my computer, view them, print them, email them etc. Is this possible currently? If so, how?
2. I have the impression that I am not using the Dropbox interface as intended, but I am not clear how to do to. Are there any guidelines on this, or can anyone explain?
3. I haven't tried using the WebDAV interface - is this a good / recommended way to go for back up, moving files around etc. E.g. if I wanted copy Reader files from my iPad to my iPhone, via my iMac? It would be nice to have an easy way to have the same files on all 3, and to be able to view them all the same on all 3 devices, for a number of reasons, including having a safe back up.
4. Will the proposed iCloud synching mechanism solve all these problems? Any idea when it is expected?
5. I have IOS v8 on my iPad, but only v7 on my iPhone (it's an iPhone 4 so I don't think it can be upgraded to v8). Is this a problem for anything in Pleco? I am assuming from the post above that my iPhone 4 with IOS v7 will not be able to use the iCloud synching interface, but are there any other problems, current or expected?
