 * Hi,
 * I have too little infos for understanding what does not work.
    Have you correctly
   formatted your text file? Maybe, it contains some type of chars that the plugin
   can’t handle (I’m working on an update).
 * Can you make a try with a very simple title and content and see if it works?
 * Bye

 * Basic functionality works (title/content-> posted).
    To make sense in my workflow
   I need to update posted files. Both provided solutions are actually causing the
   error (1) using [id] tag or 2) prepend to filename the ID). Besides updating,
   the error is on using the id tag.

 * I found out the reason.
    That happened because I deactivated and reactivated 
   the plugin. After that the plugin cant recognize id’s anymore. You need to repost
   all. Not a great bug but can you solve this? Also it would be good if you can
   create pages also.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for your help.
 * I’m trying to hunt down the bug, but I’m not so sure that it depends on activation/
   reactivation.
    Post via Dropbox does not store any informations about ids, posts,
   etc. The infos that you see in the log/error activity are purely for information
   purposes and don’t affect the operation of the plugin. So, PVD should work properly
   with any posts without regarding on how (and when) they are been posted.
 * Maybe, it could be an error with Dropbox authentication or… a more strange bug
   🙂
    Fortunately, it does not affect too much on the functionality of the plugin..
   Anyway, I’m working on an update: if I find out a solution, I will include it.
 * P.s. pages are on the to-do list 🙂

 * Happy to help.
    Your plugin works great for me now.
 * Heres a more detailed procedure:
    I update the txt files without the ID tag (
   otherwise I get into the error). After posting I retrieve the ID and put it back
   to the file. With this tag on I can then work on updating the files as much as
   I want. Probably I just didnt deactivated I indeed uninstalled the package so
   that can have smt to do with the Dropbox token.
 * Not that should really concern but i use Scrivener for making out the txt
    and
   Hazel to move em around folders.
