Q. I used to be able to pick a previously-entered director's name from a list when tapping the DIR field on the Slate screen, but now I only get the keyboard. Did MovieSlate lose that feature? On episodic shows I switch directors constantly and retyping the name every time is slow.

Q. When I tried to send a Bug Report with Data from MovieSlate, I got an error saying "A server with the specified hostname could not be found." What does that mean, and how do I get my report through?

Q. Something odd is happening with MovieSlate's layout. When I tap the Scene button, the panel opens in the wrong spot on screen instead of where it normally appears. Everything still works, it just looks misplaced. How do I get it back to normal?

Q. I've created several projects in MovieSlate on my iPhone. When I go to send a report, the only thing I can email is a report covering all projects — I can't find an email or share button for one individual project. How do I email a report for just one project?

Q. Every time I close and reopen MovieSlate, I get a window saying the app closed unexpectedly and asking if I want to send a report. It happens several times a day and I feel bad sending all of that to you. Why does it keep popping up, and should I send it?

Q. The day we just shot was a pre-shoot day (Day 0), but MovieSlate's Notes and History keep defaulting to Day 1. Is there a way to label a shoot as Day 0? And if I've already logged takes as Day 1, can I change them to Day 0 after the fact?

Q. When I type a long shot description in History (the Frame A and Frame B fields), the text keeps shrinking until it's too small to read. Is there a way to keep it full-size or pop open a bigger editor?

Q. When I tap to send a report, only the PDF option comes up. How do I export my reports as CSV, TXT, or tab-delimited instead?
