Adalberto Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 Guys. Good evening everyone. I'm using Publisher on the iPad and the new version allows editing files on an external ssd. This function is essential for my flow, which is working with a file directly from an external ssd (which was not allowed in the previous version) and strangely, editing the file in the publisher, the ssd is ejecting by itself. Testing now here with the publisher closed, the ssd in the Finder remains stable. I tested the same flow on the photo, I was able to edit the file until the moment of export, then the ssd was lost again. Is it an early version bug? Working with the file on an external hard drive is important because I can start on the desktop and finish on the street/outside the house, which in previous versions didn't even have the option of viewing an external hard drive (iPad version). Anyone else facing this problem? Quote
Dan C Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Hi Adalberto, Do you have a different drive/thumb drive you can test this with so we can isolate whether or not it's an issue with the drive? Lee Quote
Affinity Rat Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Apple doesnt play well with others, is this an Apple device? What format is the ssd, if the disk is NTFS it is read only to a ipad. Use APFS to work around it. Apple cant have you saving on a Windows formatted disk, FAT may work dunno. Dan C 1 Quote
Affinity Rat Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 I regularly connect wirelessly to my desktop external drive (not ssd), which is NTFS which allows me both read write access, but the connection is very flakey, sometimes takes multiple attempts to connect, the ipad also makes this a permanent link to the drive this causes a lot of problems if the drive is not available. Saving any file anywhere it attempts to connect to the disconnected drive snd take minutes for the process to time out before the save is finally made. Quote
Affinity Rat Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 You might try to connect this way if connecting directly to iPad iPad > Apple Lightning to USB camera adapter > USB Hub > external flash drive Quote
