That depends on where you buy your "fresh" copy from. If you buy it direct from 
Bare Bones, there's no difference apart from filling out more forms. If you buy 
the "fresh" version from the MAS, you'll get a hobbled version.

I haven't seen mention of this before, so maybe nobody else 
knows about it either...


There's a wiki with info about the various ways available for 
extending BBEdit (language modules, packages, scripts, etc.) here:

simply shown a link to it.)

project's folders within collections no longer open after migration to 10.0

[combi]

I migrated a BBEdit project from 9.x to 10.0.

Now, in the project sidebar, folders that live within a collection no
longer expand and reveal the files within them. This is most
frustrating! I have to redrag each folder back to the correct
collection, and delete the old (non working) folder, to fix it. Rather
tedious.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

-C

P.S. I checked the file filter (magnifier button) at the bottom of the
project sidebar, and it's not the problem.

I see this was copied to me because I had said I hadn't seen the problem 
before. Now I have.

Additionally, BBEdit runs away with RAM, filling all available space. This 
freezes the app for up to half a minute. After the runaway, syntax coloring is 
strange (I've reported the details to Bare Bones support). You should report 
your experience to supp...@barebones.com; maybe your experience will give them 
the clue they need.

This sort of thing historically happened when a document had very long lines, 
and BBEdit got bogged down in soft wrapping and syntax coloring. The longest 
line in my most recent problem LaTeX file seems to be 756 characters, which 
doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

BBEdit 10 isn't completely unusable with this problem, but it's close.

Here is a filter that will capitalize all a, e and o in the document.

The serial number is available in "BBEdit / Licence…" so I'm not sure that this 
really counts as "hunting" :)

Be aware that the version of BBEdit sold on the App Store doesn't handle 
"authenticated saves" or install the command line tools.

I believe Text Factories would be a good solution if it exists in

existed yet. I've used them for very similar situations to the one you

Re: Search and replace multiple combinations at once?

You can use AppleScript, maybe in Version 8 (I don't know), certainly
in 9.   I opened Script Editor, and recorded a search, then just
modified it for the subsequent searches. Be aware that Google's Mailer
will break the search lines. Everything from "replace..." to "--End"
is on one line.

-
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
-- This search was recorded

replace "alpha" using "beta" searching in text 1 of text document
"pi50.txt" options {search mode:grep, starting at top:true, wrap
around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match
words:false, extend selection:false}  -- End
.
-- Next search was just a copy & paste of the previous one
replace "beta" using "gamma" searching in text 1 of text document
"pi50.txt" options {search mode:grep, starting at top:true, wrap
around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match
words:false, extend selection:false} --End

end tell

Ah, that makes more sense. This is probably something you ought to send to 
support.

Some things that might interfere with the handling of colors is colorsync. It 
might just happen that the colors are double-corrected.

Re: Rename while in project panel

[Eric Ishii Eckhardt]

Hi Chris thanks for posting that. Very helpful. The only thing it
doesn't do is rename the file reference in the Project window.

So if I'm editing foo.html and I rename it with your script to new-
foo.html the file name changes (I can see it in Finder and at the top
of the BBEdit document) but the reference on the left stays as
foo.html

I've been poking around to see if that is automatable via the script
but I don't see that its possible.

BBEdit 10 - Upgrade vs new purchase?

Sorry, but I'm puzzled by a silly question: Since purchasing a new
copy of BBEdit 10 and upgrading from BBEdit 9.6.3 cost the same ($40 -
0.01), is there any reason to upgrade vs buying a fresh copy?
Upgrading is more work because it requires me to hunt for my serial

Re: Updated PeepOpen support

[BarbarianGeek]

Completely different issue with the script which I'm guessing is my
machine but hopefully there is a known answer:
With or without a project file, I get an error of:
  Finder got an error: Can’t get URL of file
\"OctoPirate:Users:Me:Sites:code-yellow:\"." number -1728 from URL of
file "OctoPirate:Users:Me:Sites:code-yellow:"

Error -1728 is, I believe, "file doesn't exist" or "can't get
reference".
Watching the event log, the system never evaluates to true the (on
disk of _projectDocument) condition in either case.

Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problems with img insertion as NotinUse is
reporting.
I can drag an image into the html file, but nothing happens at all. No
dialog pops up.
The only way to get an image into the file is by using the menu
choice.
The dialog that pops up, doesn't have anything filled out
automatically and when I select a local file it gets inserted with the
full path to the file on my server.
I just want relative filepaths!!

I just reverted to BBEdit 9.3  as 10 is just twice as much work.
Waiting for the fix.

Marc.

Managing WebObjects project in BBEdit?

[Jon]

As Apple no longer supports working with WebObjects projects in Xcode,
I'm looking for alternatives for use on OSX 10.6.8. I guess Eclipse
with WOLips is the most obvious option, but I also wonder if BBEdit
could be used. I understand that WOLips has quite a few features that
one may have to do without in BBEdit, but I would be interested in
hearing from anyone who has used BBEdit as an "IDE" for WebObjects

Hello. Being a non-programmer myself, as well as not being a frequent user of 
the OS X Terminal, there are no doubt many features of BBEdit which I am not 
aware of, never use, and don't even know how to use. Understanding grep is 
difficult enough for me. Of course, the same could be said for OS X in general. 
I am really a basic user when it comes to OS X, and the vast majority of its 
bells and whistles remain unused by me as well.

I would concur though that as a long-time web designer, the multiple file 
search is one of the features which is most often used by me, particularly when 
I have to simultaneously make global changes to hundreds or thousands of html 
files on one of the sites that I run.

This goes hand-in-hand with the text factory feature, which I more often than 
not use in conjunction with the tidy feature. It saves me so much time, and 
catches html coding errors that I may not be aware of.

Thanks for the option key hint. I was totally unaware of it until now.

Re: BBEdit 10 Color Scheme Issues

What I meant was wrong was BBEdit's math...

For example, if I choose rgb slider values of 248, 248, 248.

Then 248 / 255 = 0.972549

So BBedit should store it as rgba(0.972549,0.972549,0.972549,1.00)

But BBedit is storing it as rgba(0.978330,0.978133,0.978337,1.00)

Note that not only are the values wrong, they are also all different
from each other!!! Also note that when converted back by multiplying
them by 255 and rounding to nearest whole numbers, you get rgb slider
values of 249, 249, 249

So as of right now, I am having to manually do the math for each RGB
value I want in my scheme, and type the correct numbers into the saved
bbcolor scheme file in the BBEdit Application Support folder by hand,
if I want my desired settings to be correct.

OSX Lion and BBEdit Command Line Installer

[icel]

Hi,

I have just done a clean install of OSX Lion on my Macbook Pro 15"
2.2Ghz i7.  I bought BBEdit from the app store as it was convenient
and presume the new one will be available shortly.  I have just tried
install the Command Line tools to no avail.  I downloaded the package
and followed installation instructions from:
http://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/

I have rebooted and tried re-installing but it is still not working.
Any suggestions?

Many Thanks

This is what eventually converted me to the "spaces" side of the "spaces

(That, and Python coding -- while I know tabs are allowed, they seem to 
be strongly frowned on in terms of coding style, probably because 
messing up formatting due to differing tab values will actually break 
Python code, not just make it look ugly!)

Nice, but most assemblers are soft on the location of the opcode field
so long as there is at least one whitespace leading in. Two tabs, or any
number of spaces is accepted. Followed by at least one whitespace to the
arguments, and comments start at first semicolon or after legal
arguments.

Has been a while but believe I last used 2 tabs at 8 spaces for the
label field, one for opcode, one more to the arguments, and 2 more to
comments.

In in my old age I've come to prefer hard spaces so that nobody comes
along and messes up my formatting just because they used a different tab
value.

I still use Nisus  5 or so on this OS 9 box.  As of OS 10 Nisus became just 
another markup based word processor. Really good for right to left Arabic with 
included left to right Arabic numbers..

I even have a preset resource file into which I can redirect a data fork that 
is an assembly language listing for a 68HC11 microprocessor. Variable width 
tabs are really nice for that. I can even word wrap comments into new lines 
that begin at the rightmost tab.

I'd really rather use BBEdit on Apple's OS 10. (Which sort of keeps this on 
topic.)

Sounds as if you are asking to further blur the difference between a
text editor and a word processor.

Am not sure if Nisus still behaves the way it originally did, but it was
a word processor that left the data fork as pure text while putting all
formatting metadata in the resource fork. Originators of QUED/M, which
for me was replaced by BBEdit.

Looks like QUED/M is gone: http://www.nisus.com/

Just in case anyone at Bare Bones cares:

While you're making tab width adjustable on a per file basis it would really be 
great if you could arrange for tab stops as in a real typewriter.  I am 
continually frustrated with columnar data that demands a wide column on the 
left side - full names for example - followed by a couple of small width 
columns like date and $. Multiple tab characters cannot be used because the 
final destination of the file won't accept them.

The alternative is a full fledged spreadsheet but I really don't need that just 
to look at, yeah and modify, the data.

I suppose to be precise I should have said there appeared to be no UI

that BBEdit has the scripting support that it does, but I'm also bemused 
at times by how often scripting seems to be the *only* way to do 
something that seems relatively trivial, like set tab widths for the 
current document. :)


In any case, this is reinforcing my earlier thought that there really 
needs to be a BBEdit "Tips & Tricks" wiki, that allows attachments for 
scripts, snippets (and now packages).

This allows cycling through increasingly wider tab separations, 
per document. Adjust your increment as desired (that's the '+ 
12'), as well as the maximum (64 here) before it reverts to 
minimum. Tab width is sticky, so a file keeps the last width I set.

Hey Rob,

Some of your pain is pretty easily diminished.  Run this script via keyboard 
shortcut from the BBEdit Scripts Menu to open a dialog for renaming the file of 
the front text window.  Change the name, and it will rename the file in the 
Finder.  You'll see this change reflected in the project file browser.

Tips and Tricks?

[TJ Luoma]

Hey folks

I've been using BBEdit for years but don't think I'm doing everything
I can with it.

I'm trying to learn more of what BBEdit can do, and I was wondering if
some of you might be willing to help.

If you were trying to impress someone who was new to the Mac with what
BBEdit can do and why you use it as your text editor, can you give me
some examples of the features you'd show off?

Here are 3 examples from my own usage:

* One of the reasons that I chose BBEdit was that I needed to be able
to connect to an (S)FTP server and edit files, and I wanted an editor
that could do that.

* One of the features that I really love is the "Multiple File Search"
where I can look for a certain search term in a wide range of files.
Today I used it to file all files which referenced a given folder
(which I had renamed).  So in Terminal, I used this:

 bbedit --new-window `fgrep -l OLDNAME *`

which opened all of the files which include "OLDNAME" in a new BBEdit
window. Then I used multi-file search to replace OLDNAME with NEWNAME,
and it even saved all of the files for me automatically so I didn't
have to save them all manually.

* One thing I didn't know about for a long time was that if you hold
down the "Option" key while looking at the "File" menu, some of the
options will change. (Which is why I didn't think BBEdit had a way to
"Save All" for a long time :-/
