I work with several sites buried inside my home directory, and when I start adding Anchor and Image links, I have to navigate to the appropriate directory, which is normally within one directory of the file I'm editing. Please add something like a 'Jump to Here' button to BBEdit's Anchor & Image tools' Open dialogs, to get to the right neighborhood.

Doesn't anyone else want this feature? Or do you all start by opening files in the Finder, and/or 'prime' the Open dialogs in some other way?

There are a couple ways you might try to fix this yourself.

One is to create a folder in your home folder with aliases to desired directories. That way you can just command-H, double click, double click and you're there regardless of the location of the folder.

Another is to create a file group with the folders in it. Then double clicking will bring up the disk browser and you can just drag the image in to link to it. I have a file group of frequently accessed files and folders and then a hot key in Keyboard Maestro to open it.

Peter,

Thanks, although I work on 3-6 sites on 3 different machines, aside from one-off editing on sites I don't regularly edit, so I could keep a list of aliases in ~/ (or symlinks, more likely). But that would require a nontrivial amount of manual maintenance, and address perhaps 70% of the issue. The sites are quite hierarchical, so I'm not sure if a file group would be suitable. I haven't used Groups, though, and will try.


                                                Thanks,


                                                Chris
