Cannot save Special:Header

[ronsheely]

I've been using TN every day now, and now depend on it. Today, several things stopped working.

I embedded a few images from my iPhone gallery as I have been for a couple weeks. Suddenly, TN cannot find an image I just linked to. I tried several images, but no avail. I recently created a custom header at Special:Header to show {{tags} and {{toc}}. That appeared to work okay, but I was suspicious it was causing the image problem, so I erased the contents of Special.Header. However, I cannot save Special:Header. I get the following error dialog.
Error 'Special:Header' is not a valid page name (cannot contain /, \ or
Obviously, the Special:Header page name does not contain those character.

I would appreciate your help. I have valuable work content on TN.

An update on this.

I uninstalled the NT application and reinstalled it. I can now write to Special:Header -- but not sure how long this will list.

Regarding images, they appear pretty broken.

I inserted an image from the photo gallery into a test page. Same problem, image not found.

Interestingly, the "not found" image synced to Dropbox. I checked the file name of the copy on Dropbox, and the file name agrees with the inserted image, e.g., {{image File:21_06_2011_7.png}}. I tried it without the "File" also, still no go.

Trunk Notes 2.5.1 fixes the image issue. It is currently being reviewed by Apple - hopefully it should be available shortly.

Thank you Matthew.

Any idea what might have gone wrong with the Special:Header?

Not sure about Special:Header. Let me know if it happens again. My investigations have not been able to reproduce it.

I'm having trouble now - some of my Special: pages 'disappeared' from TrunkNotes when I type "Special:" as a prefix to find the pages. The pages still show up on Dropbox (on their website).
I can only get to Special:Header now by finding a previous link to it from a page (e.g., the manual). I can then 'edit' the page (which is blank on the device -- although the Dropbox version shows the original content), but when I attempt to save new content it complains that "'Special:Header' is not a valid page name: A page cannot have the prefix Docs:, Special:, New: or File:'"

I only began seeing this around the time of the recent IOS upgrade. Not precisely sure exactly what may have triggered it. (For a brief period, I was also using a MAC and synchronizing Dropbox between TrunkNotes on iPad, MAC, and PC. Not sure this is relevant, but prior to that was only ever using Dropbox sync between TrunkNotes on iPad and my PC.)

So for now, I am forced to live with blank header and footer which I can't customize

Have you tried reinstalling the app? It seems to have worked for others before. I'd send myself an email backup before deleting everything.

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll give it a try.

Backing up my notes, reinstalling, and then restoring them seems to have fixed the problem of special pages not being writable. Thanks for the suggestion!
