Have you tried using vim? All the pages are in the pages folder of your field and my goal has been to make them virtually identical to what you see in the edit box. There are only two differences to keep in mind that I can think of: 1) The < symbol is encoded as < for security reasons, though it's on the roadmap to change that... 2) You'll see the data (otherwise hidden) at the bottom of each page. Which means you can edit that info directly as well, as long as you are careful about the format. I personally edit files all the time on my code editor, as it's just easier and faster when I'm overhauling whole sections of my site. But Kevin is right--you will have to reindex your modified pages (create a custom index list that reindexes all the pages modified within 24 hours for example), and you won't have stamps of any pages in there condition just before the change. If we need to make some change to BoltWire to allow use of an external editor, let me know what needs to be done. I'm happy to oblige.
