Hello,

I made a very simple program on pythonista. I have to do some stretching exercises every day. There are different phases in this exercise and I'm tired to count for every phase. My thought was to make a little program in pythonista. And it works fine for me.

But I have a little problem. It would be really nice to have a Home Screen shortcut. If I try to add my script to the Home Screen I get the message: "Cannot Add Shortcut - You cannot add homescreen shortcuts for scripts that are not in your Pythonista library."

Probably this is very easy to solve. But I didn't find a way to add my script to the Pythonista library. Is there a solution?

Thanks!

@Tower How do you add your shortcut on the home screen?

Normal way is:
- edit your script
- tap tools
- tap Shortcuts
- tap Home Screen Icon
- fill title, choose icon, color,...
- tap continue...

Hi cvp, I tap on the wrench symbol and then I tap on "Add to Home Screen".

@Tower Sorry, my edited post cross yours 😢

@Tower You have the App Store version?
If yes, you do it correctly

@Tower Thus, in which folder is your script?

I saved it in "Examples" and in "iCloud".
With other scripts, I don't have this issue.

Maybe it's because of my imports? My imports are sound and time.

@Tower Not a problem of import, I think.
Examples is a particular folder because installed by the app, thus for this one I don't know
For iCloud, I remember there was a problem in the app version because you need a special argument
You can try my script here

Url = pythonista3://script&action=run&root=icloud&argv=...

I copied my script in a new file and now it works! Thanks cvp!

@Tower 👍

I think it means the script must reside in This iPad, the main folder and not a subfolder, not in iCloud, etc.
