Hi,
this weekend, I ran across a strange issue with the iOS version.
My main platform where I use yWriter is Win10, but I also occasionally write on the mobile platforms, mainly iOS, syncing the files via my cloud service. I also use a bunch of Peter T's yWriter addon tools, recently yw-cnv for Import/Export to Libreoffice. Here's what happens (reproducibly).
1. I edit the yw7 file on iOS
2. Sync across platforms
3. Try to import to Libreoffice with yw-cnv on either PC or Mac
4. Get an error message "Cannot process file: <...yw7>"
If I then open the yw7 file on PC and simply close it again, the error in yw-cnv goes away, meaning it probably rewrites it in a way to make it compatible again. If step 1 is done on Android, there is no error, either. However, opening and closing the file on Android does not fix the error, only doing so on Windows does.
It's not a big deal, but does limit mobile use (as I don't have a PC when travelling, and use the import to format chapter to send to my writing group). I'll also check with Peter T n the ywriter Google group regarding what specifics in the file format his plugin expects.
Thanks for your work!
