App extension help in the beta
-
Is there documentation for app extension I'm missing? I have been able to use the appex class which is described in the documentation but I can only run the script by walking through the directory, opening the file and clicking the run icon. How do I add my script to the list of icons in the share dialog so I can click the icon directly? My script is in the .extensions directory. What else do I have to do? How do I specify an icon for it?
-
Go into the app extension. Press edit. Press new, select your app and then pick an icon / color
-
Thanks but translate please. What do you mean by 'go into the app extension?' Give me a hint. In Pythonista somewhere? In the .extensions folder? The specific extension script edit window? In the external app share sheet? I've tried all these places (even before I posted the request) and don't see the functionality you mention.
-
Share Icon -> Run Pythonista Script -> Edit -> Add Script -> Press Done -> Click on the new script to run it.

Thanks. That did it. Is this documented somewhere?
-
Not sure about how thorough documentation is. It used to be the case that it only needed to be in the folder.
-
I looked in the "Pythonista Modules/appex - Using the Pythonista Sharing Extension" doc and .extensions/_Readme.md. It isn't either of those. I don't know where else to look. I guess I'll add this documentation issue to the recent beta bugs list thread.

is the extension actually working for you guys? on ios8 / 32 bit launching the extension does nothing for me.
