Hello and a happy new year to you all!
2016 begun with a new challenge for me: all of a sudden my iMac
got a kernel panic! I have TimeMachine, two local backups (one
of it only 2 hours before the
crash) and even 21 days of AppleCare left :-) so everything is
as good as it can be :-/ … but right now I'm typing this
email on my iPhone and planning a better
world: a world with **two** Macs! ;-)
Dang, sorry to hear that--kernel panics are always a pain.
A recent question in BBEdit-Talk reminded me that it is
possible to configure BBEdit to have all the
setting/preference-files on Dropbox / iCloud.
Is this correct?
Not quite :-):
You can relocate your BBEdit app support folder to Dropbox as
detailed in the section titled "Sharing Application Support &
Preferences Data via Dropbox" :-) in Chapter 2 of the PDF manual
(Help -> User Manual).
Further, BBEdit 11.5 (both the existing pre-release and final
versions) will support using iCloud in a similar manner, as follows:
+ BBEdit now supports the use of iCloud Drive for sharing
application support and setup items. This works similarly
to the
existing Dropbox support: in your "iCloud Drive" folder,
create a
folder named "Application Support", and then within that create
a folder named "BBEdit". You can populate that folder with the
contents of your existing BBEdit application support folder
(/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/).
+ BBEdit now supports the use of iCloud Drive for a shared
backup folder: in your "iCloud Drive" folder, create a folder
named "BBEdit Backups", and if you have turned on Use
Historical Backups, BBEdit will use this folder.
Please note however that most of BBEdit's preference options
(i.e. the options which appear in its Preferences window) other
than key shortcuts are stored locally to each machine, due to
how OS's preferences mechanism works.
And if so: what would you recommend, Dropbox or iCloud?
That's entirely up to you; we have no official preference. :-)

Patrick Woolsey
