I cant open my projects in scratch.js.org

[GodOfMachinesALT]

Hi,
in scratch.js.org when i open a saved project, it says that it could not read project. Can you add an option to upload a project from your computer so i can open my work?

Btw, im on an IOS ipad

I'm assuming you mean squeak.js.org/scratch not scratch.js.org right?

Note that this is the Squeak version of Scratch (a.k.a. Scratch 1.4) which cannot load files from newer Scratch versions (see https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Scratch_Versions) (so only .sb not sb2 or .sb3).

I agree that adding a file upload button would be useful, especially for mobile devices.

However, on iPad you can drag a Scratch project directly from the Files app into Scratch (I opened the Files app as a Slide Over window, but Split View would work as well):

You may notice the icons of .sb files – that is @SoftUmeYa's Pyonkee app which might be a better way to use Scratch on an iPad than SqueakJS.

Cf issue #145 for adding a file import button

the files i have dragged were projects from the squeak js folder on the scratch online editor. i used the page that lets you download the projects, but it doesn't upload for me :(

What's the page you downloaded the projects from? Giving exact steps how to reproduce an issue is very helpful for others to figure out the problem.

ill send link, i also gave up on sprite uploads bc it is limited and can't upload unless i duplicate the glitched sprite

[GodOfMachinesALT]

https://squeak.js.org/run/ this is where i got the files

[GodOfMachinesALT]

i saved the projects to the squeak folder, then download the projects from there.

I cant use appstore to get pyonkee bc im on a school ipad

i have found a way to save - if i upload a sprite frim the scratch library, i can edit the code and costumes and then export them. Then it lets me upload them without downloading any files :D

(list sorting i made in scratch 1.4) 😀

I guess it works now! :D
