Change to Open Hidden?!?!
Okay, seriously, this is asinine. I just upgraded to the latest 9.3.1 and I went to edit my hosts file. I hit File-Open Hidden and ... hey, wait, NO hidden files are showing! I'm like, WTF, why aren't you showing my hidden files?!? I cancel out and hit File-Open to see if, on the off chance, that it might show my hidden files there. Nope, not there either. So, I have to go back to the finder and nav to the etc folder manually so I can drag my hosts file onto BBEdit. When I'm done, I check the internets to find out that you've added a checkbox to Show Hidden Files. WTF!??!?! I never even bothered to look for a checkbox because, why should I have to hit a checkbox to get it to show hidden files when I've already hit a menu command that CLEARLY tells it to do that?!?! And now, you have TWO menu options with DIFFERENT titles that do EXACTLY THE SAME THING. Also, hitting the checkbox in one open dialog also changes the setting of the checkbox in the other open dialog. What?!?! NOO! This UI change was clearly not thought out well. From a programming perspective, I can totally appreciate wanting to consolidate things. From a usability standpoint, you're not making things easier, you've actually managed to add a click to the workflow. Having an extra checkbox there is like popping up an alert box that says I know you already told me to show you the hidden files, but are you really sure you want to see the hidden files? If a user hits a menu option that says Open Hidden you better doggone well show a list of hidden files! And making the setting persist now adds another click when I hit File- Open to turn off hidden files. God, this is so annoying now. Just because I'm opening a hidden file this time doesn't mean the next time it's going to be another hidden file. The ratio of non-hidden to hidden files I open is like 100 to 1. Menu options should do what they advertise.

Re: BBEdit git/mercurial
Hi Jeet I'm grateful for your help with this; I'm at the edge of my experience with shells. We're a little off topic, so don't feel obliged to reply. foo = !sh -c 'echo hello' works fine, but when I try various permutations of foo = !sh -c 'echo $#' with git foo bar I get 0 returned. I can't work out if I'm doing something wrong with the argument, or if something else is wrong. Advice appreciated! Roddie On 23/3/10 23:05, jeetsukuma...@frogweb.org jeetsukuma...@gmail.com wrote: It is in the '[alias]' section, exactly like yours. One difference I can see is that you have no space between the 0 and the escape character at the end of the line, but I don't think this is significant. Maybe you might want to experiment with a simpler construct, such as: [alias] foo = !sh -c 'echo hello' and see if that works. Then slowly expand this to the full invocation by adding the bits and pieces one at time (e.g., the conditional, then the exit, etc.). -- jeet On Mar 23, 4:55 pm, Alex Satrapa gr...@goldweb.com.au wrote: On 23/03/2010, at 17:48 , jeetsukuma...@frogweb.org wrote: See my reply to Roddie above.

syntax recognition for PowerShell
I have to do some PowerShell scripting (Microsoft Windows) and would love to use my BBEdit. Does anyone know of a way I can get BBEdit to recognize PowerShell syntax?

OT: terminal settings
Sorry for the OT post, but this was the best place I could think of that would have some terminal gurus. I use my Mac and BBEdit primarily for embedded and linux programming. As such, I spend much of my time in terminal, sshed into various machines. As I'm sshed into many different machines at once, I typically use different terminal settings (via the inspector) to color the background in order to keep my windows visually distinct. It's painful to open up several windows (sometimes I have 6 or more open per machine) and change the profile via inspector for each one. So the question: does anyone know a way to automatically have terminal switch to a different profile? Ideally, I'd love it to automatically notice from the command-line I enter. For example, if I enter `ssh foxtrot.local` it switches to profile 1 and if I enter `ssh marvin.local` it switches to profile 2 Is there a way to tell terminal on the command-line to switch? I'd be willing to setup aliases that run a command-line program to do it for me if that's necessary (though prefered is the auto-sniff of my command-line). alias ssh-marvin= switch-profile 1; ssh marvin.local Does anyone have any ideas about this?

The File-Open Hidden is designed to parse the directory and only show Hidden Files. The Check Box is to display hidden files in addition to the normal ones when you use Open. The problem is that the state of the check box should not be consulted when you do an Open Hidden only when you do an Open. When checked ALL files in the directory should be displayed while when unchecked only normal files should display. As noted, Open Hidden should ALWAYS display all the hidden files. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the BBEdit Talk discussion group on Google Groups.

Have you looked at Terminal's scripting dictionary? For example you
can do this from the command line:
$ osascript -e tell app \terminal\ to set background color of
front window to {-1024, -3203, 1327}
