| I know I've been ranting about the iOS app "Scrap" a lot. This week I
focused my blog updates with utilizing several mobile apps instead of
using the livejournal mobile app. I'm only doing this for one simple
reason. I like the way the Telegram app sends my photo attachments to
livejournal and creates a table, either vertically or horizontally. I
know eMailing my blog updates would have the same effect (as long as I
specify my headers) but I find Telegram to be more efficient than the
eMail API server I use. I wish I could pinpoint why.

What I learned this week is that I can indeed rename my photos.
The renaming process must be done early, so after I take a BitCam
picture — I've also learned that tilting my phone 90°
counterclockwise solved the need to rotate the image in an editor. And
I learned that rotating images with an editor (like PS Express) doesn't
alter the file size — I open my photos in the Photos app only to share
it to: Save to File option. This is the step I take to rename the pictures.
|
Once the photo is renamed and in a file folder I can access thru
Telegram for attachment images, I start working on my blog entry. I
use "Scrap - A storyboarding app" which doesn't seem to be available
anymore in the apple store. The message I get when I try to share the
app from my phone to another device is 'the app is not available for
my country zone' which is depressing because that would mean that I
would lose the app the next time I decide to upgrade my phone. Is
anybody else having trouble finding the app on their iPhone? |
| This app I like so much was created by Li Heng Hsu. When I learned
that the app store is no longer optioning this app for download, I
went on a short frenzy to do a trial run of all my other production
apps for word processing and none of them seem to behave the way Scrap
does with Telegram. If I share a Scrap scene to Telegram, the end
result is the picture of the |
scene, as one entry in Telegram, and the
text that accompanies that scene as a caption in a separate entry. I
guess where I'm going with this is finding a way to search out another
similar app in the app store that handles the same way. I thought if I
compose a caption below a photo in OneNote, then share that page with
Telegram, all my troubles will be solved.
I still have to try Microsoft Word, but I'm not optimistic. |
