Okay, after fumbling around here's what I've found out. I apologize if I'm stating the obvious but I've just started using bbedit and have never done anything with applescript.
The Scratchpad file that is called up when I use Keyboard Maestro lives here: /library/application support/bbedit There is one strange thing about it. It doesn't show an extension, but info says it's a text file. I can see what I've written on it with quick view. However, if I click on it to open it the apple script editor opens it. I get an error that says "a identifier can't go after this identifier". I have two projects, and when I click "show package contents" they both have a Scratchpad file inside. Each maintains it's own info. And unlike the global scratchpad in application support, they do show a .txt extension, and when clicked, are opened by bbedit. If I open either project scratchpad their name is scratchpad.txt. But when I open the global Scratchpad with my keyboard shortcut, it only says Scratchpad, without the .txt extension, in the title bar. Which, I assume, is because of what I mentioned earlier (though it's a text file it's set to open with the apple script editor). So to sum up, what I see is one scratchpad not attached to any project, and a scratchpad for each project I create. That's the only way it makes sense to me. Am I correct? And secondly, should I be concerned that the global Scratchpad in bbedit application support shows no extension, and is set to be opened with the apple script editor? I thought this might simply be because the file was created with an apple script, and I also thought I could just go to info and change what the file is associated with from the apple script editor to bbedit, but I thought I might screw something up. Sorry this is so long and for any confusion. gary On Aug 27, 3:22 pm, Christopher Stone <listmeis...@thestoneforge.com> wrote: > Hey Gary, > > On Aug 27, 2011, at 14:33, gary wrote: > > > Thanks Chris!
