BBEdit stores your file-specific preferences in local storage in your home directory though it can be changed with one of those secret settings so that resource forks are used. The idea is that different users may want to employ their own preferences for the same file in a multi-programmer environment. It all works on the file name. If you copy the file with a cp command to a new name the preferences will be forgotten and your new defaults applied. It might also work if you just change the name slightly behind BBEdit's back using Finder or a shell. Remember that those old files really do have the spaces in them. You might be faced with an "entab" kind of operation and that is likely to create sequential tabs that you don't want. -- --> From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <-- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request?
