Re: Edit > Show Clipboard (BBEdit 10)

Why not use a clipboard manager? I've been using http://www.clipmenu.com 
for years... can't imagine working without something like that. There are 
others out there too.

[ANN] BBEdit 11.5 (3827) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good morning folks,

We're working on an update to BBEdit 11 which will add some new 
features and address a few recently reported issues.


Note that this is a _pre-release_ version. The intent is to fix 
bugs and address areas of improvement based on what our 
customers have reported. However, since the software is at this 
point not fully tested, there _may_ be bugs and regressions. If 
this prospect makes you nervous, then sticking with the public 
release versions is your best course of action. Nobody will be 
offended if you choose to do so; you're under no obligation to 
install and use anything but a public release. :-)


Following is a summary of changes that have been made since the 
previous pre-release build. Its notes are available here: .


The change notes are organized into additions, changes, and 
fixes, and are annotated where appropriate with case numbers. So 
if you recognize a number corresponding to a support case that 
was opened for you, you can now verify that it's been fixed 
correctly. Please take the time to review the changes before 
using the new build -- it'll be worth your time.


One final note: If you run into a bug in a pre-release version, 
PLEASE DO NOT REPORT THE BUG TO THE LIST. This includes asking 
about whether others have seen the same problem. Instead, please 
send a bug report to  and we will deal 
with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on 
topic and productive for all list members.




version 11.5 (3827) (2015-12-18)

Additions
-

+   [DOC] Added a new command to the Edit menu: Start Speaking.
This command will speak the selected text in the document; if
there is no selection range it will speak the entire document.
If the document is empty, this command is disabled. When speaking
is in progress, this command reads "Stop Speaking" and will stop
the in-progress speech.

*   [316619] Enabled {Copy, Save} as Styled {Text, HTML} for the
edit fields in the Find and Multi-File Search windows, because
why not.

Changes
---

o   (none in this build)

Fixes
-

*   [NFR] [316525] You can now usefully drag something into a text
field in the Find Differences dialog (as long as the text field
has keyboard focus first, due to a quirk in the OS).

*   [NFR] [316597] Fixed display glitch when enabling/disabling
buttons in the Live Search bar.

*   [NFR] [315897] Fixed regression in which full-screen windows
would return bad data when their "bounds" property was requested
through the scripting interface (either internally or
externally), which would result in -1702 errors when interacting
with such windows.

*   [316560] Fixed crash which would occur when an error is returned
from running an Automator workflow. (This would actually happen
all the time on some OS versions in which the Automator workflow
API always returned an error, even when none had occurred.)

The package can be downloaded from our web server:



Enjoy,

BBEdit looks in /opt/local/bin/, but does so after looking at 
more typical install locations (most notably /usr/bin/), so if 
/usr/bin/git exists, that will be found and used first.


We generally recommend using the tools that are provided by 
Xcode since those are the ones we test with, but if there's some 
compelling reason not to do that :-) you can manually override 
the path:


defaults write com.barebones.bbedit GitToolPathOverride 
-string "/path/to/git"

Hi, Rich.

Many thanks for that. That'll do nicely :-)

Git question

[Phil Dobbin]

Hi, all.

My version of Git is in an nonstandard location '/opt/local/bin/git' so 
is there a way to tell BBEdit where to look for it?


Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

 Phil...

Re: Suppress _most_ images

[Lawrence San]

You're right -- I was so focused on BBEdit + Firebug that I forgot all
about Chrome. Just tried it: Chrome's Network panel filters, and lets me
resize the column widths, and has a convenient "Disable cache" checkbox.
Much better than Firebug, for this purpose anyway. (I typically ignore
Chrome's devel tools because of all the great extensions I've installed in
Firefox.) Thanks much Ronald!

Suppress _most_ images

[Lawrence San]

I'm working on some JavaScript for a web page that has many, many images in
various places on the page. However the JS is only concerned with
controlling two of those images, plus the main text column. All the other
(irrelevant) images are cluttering up the Firebug Net panel (showing
network activity) so it's hard to focus on the two images I care about.
(BTW, the key issue is at what point in the JS sequence those two images
load relative to the text column, and -- most importantly -- whether
they're loading from the devel server vs. the browser cache.)

I can set Firebug's Net panel to only show images, but that's still a very
long, scrolling list each time the page loads. The Net panel can't filter
the list -- its text box just searches and highlights items one at a time,
but doesn't hide anything. The Web Developer extension for Firefox can
disable _all_ images, but not selectively (i.e. it can't disable all but
two of them).

I tried, in the BBEdit HTML file, to use CSS to set all images to "display:
none" or "visibility: hidden" and then just override that for the two
relevant images. That worked in the browser display of the page, but that's
not what I care about: I discovered (to my surprise) that Firebug's Net
panel still calls the server (or cache) for those images anyway. So that
didn't help.

I ended up duping the whole HTML file to a temporary/devel version, then
doing a "Find All" in BBEdit for "img" and manually going through the whole
long file, commenting out or deleting every image except the two I care
about. That worked, but was really tedious. Part of the problem is that the
images are specified in many different ways: some foreground, some
backgrounds, some specified in the head of that HTML file, some as
backgrounds specified in linked CSS files, some located in the main text
column, some in side columns, etc. So I couldn't think of any simple grep
pattern that would speed it up in BBEdit's search/replace.

I have a feeling there's a better way to do this, but I can't think of what
it is. Perhaps some kind of grep search/replace routine in BBEdit? Or using
an AppleScript in some way? Or some other tool I don't know about? How
would you do this?

Thanks,
Lawrence

Re: Suppress _most_ images

[Ronald J Kimball]

If the problem you're trying to solve is showing only the images you care
about in the Net panel, have you tried using Chrome?  Its Developer Tools
Network panel has a filter feature, unlike Firebug.
