[sword-devel] Bishop 1.8.0pre9

[David Haslam]

Hi Troy,

I’ve not yet been invited via TestFlight to try the new prerelease.

Would it be possible to include Proton Drive as
one of the module install source locations accessible via Advanced Installation Options | File Browser ?

I have Proton Drive installed on both my Apple devices as well as my Windows 11 PC.

On my iPhone 13, Bishop 1.7.908 already sees these cloud storage locations
- iCloud Drive
- Dropbox
- OneDrive
- Google Drive
- Box
- WebDAV Nav

In addition, on my iPad Mini 4 it also sees
- Adobe Scan
- Proton Drive

Yet even though I have the Proton Drive app installed and setup on my iPhone 13, Bishop doesn’t see it. I don’t know why!

My iPad Mini 4 uses iPadOS 15.8.8
My iPhone 13 uses iOS 26.7.1

NB. I’ve not yet installed Adobe Scan on my iPhone 13. I only included it above as an observation.

btw. I acquired the refurbished iPhone 13 on September 15 after my old iPhone SE (original) died.

Best regards, David

A cloud folder is named sword-studydata, so your other devices and other SWORD apps can share it. Google Drive on iPhone lets Bishop use its files but not a folder, so there Bishop asks you to open via file multi-select. Kind of a kludge but effectively lets you share your bookmarks on GDrive.
