Dropbox and Dubscript

DubScript on tablets

Hello there
I'm saving to Dropbox but when I save or when Dubscript autosaves Dropbox creates a file conflict and makes the save to a new file with a "####s conflicting copy" suffix. I've only seen this behaviour from Dropbox when I have files open on two computers, but at this point my script is only open in Dubscript on my android tablet.

Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
Dan

This sounds...

There is nothing in DubScript itself that adds "conflicting copy" to the title of a document-- As you suspected, it sounds like some kind of Dropbox behavior related to how it deals with two open files being saved on top of each other. It looks like you can find more information about Dropbox's behavior (and how to resolve such conflicts) here and here.

Hope this helps. It may be best to have the file opened on one device at a time, or to set a "file one" and "file two" name for each machine so you don't save on top of each other with the same name...

Thanks for writing!
