[Jbeta] Editing files introduced through iTunes

2012-05-17 Thread bob therriault
Hi everyone, When I add files from my desktop through iTunes they are put in the root as expected. The question is how do I edit those files? If I use je then the ~user path is added and thus a new file is created, since the file I want to edit exists back at the root. Solutions to my

Thanks for the response, I had not thought of that. I'll look into it, but I think that the root of the problem is that iPad apps are sandboxed so that you don't seem to update any files within the J folder. I can get files to the root level, I just don't seem to be able to edit them from that

you are not manipulating the app. you are playing in the sandbox. the app bundle is elsewhere and is untouchable. On Thursday, May 17, 2012, bob therriault wrote: Hi Eric, Now that I have the '/filename.xxx' format worked out for addressing root files, I have found that the fread fwrite

Here's to playing in the sandbox :) As I thought more about it and your answer, I see the reason behind Apple is providing security by restricting the access that apps have to other information, so that even if we did manipulate the app there would be severe restrictions to what the app could

After reading about editing j iPhone sandbox files I gave it a try on a flight to Phoenix. The day before I loaded the main JOD files in the sandbox with the aim of getting JOD to run on the iPhone. My first attempt did not work. My JOD code thought it was on a Linux system. To make it work I
