I have Editorial on iOS for my iPhone and iPad. I have MultiMarkdown Composer on my Mac. What will happen if I access a standard .md file on Editorial on iOS with MultiMarkdown Composer on my Mac over Dropbox simultaneously?

Thanks!

    Composer uses apples NSDocument class. It doesn't play well with files being changed "under its nose" when the other app doesn't support NSDocument.

    For now, the official recommendation is "don't do that"

    Things may change in the future.

    Old thread, but v4 of Composer for macOS (as well as the under development iOS version) are a bit smarter about detecting "stealth" file changes and trying to merge them into what you're doing.

    I still recommend caution, but you can be a bit less vigilant...
