Re: Losing Preferences

2017-10-12 Thread F. Alfredo Rego 
I appreciate your pointer, Patrick.

Unfortunately, BBEdit’s “core” prefs file also has myriad “peripheral” prefs 
within its eight thousand five hundred lines (in my case), including recent 
searches and so on.

Apparently, Apple sadistically chooses to reset the really 
painful-to-re-enter-every-time “core” preferences while choosing to leave 
“peripheral” preferences alone.

As I waste extremely valuable time re-configuring my BBEdit prefs every time 
that I restart BBEdit, I give up on the treasure hunt (within 
com.barebones.bbedit.plist) for the preferences that are truly essential and 
important. 

I would be willing to pay for a script (or something) that cruises around 
com.barebones.bbedit.plist and, as soon as it detects underhanded mischief, 
resets MY preferences to whatever I have patiently and lovingly crafted to suit 
MY requirements.

I’m sure I’m not the only one being hurt badly, in terms of my time, due to 
this specific issue with High Sierra. Any enterprising folks out there who 
would like to develop a burglar alarm for BBEdit’s prefs?

I regret having downgraded to Low Sierra. The options for going back to Sierra 
are even more painful than having to re-enter all of my favorite BBEdit prefs.

Sigh . . .

Re: BBEdit and 64 Bit

2017-10-12 Thread cumbr...@jhmi.edu 
Hi Rich,

Nice to see you are preparing the 64bit version for the time Apple demands 
it. 
On the other hand, I thought the 32bit limitations were the main reason you 
are stuck with small file sizes, and as you know, I've been hoping for a 
long time that limit would be eliminated...

[ANN] BBEdit 12

2017-10-12 Thread Rich Siegel 

Good { morning, afternoon, evening },

We are pleased to announce the release and immediate 
availability of BBEdit 12. This major upgrade adds over a 
hundred new features, improvements to existing features, and 
minor refinements.


Here are the high points, excerpted from the "What's New in 
BBEdit 12" page at .


* **Improved dark-theme support** - When using a dark color 
scheme, BBEdit now colors editing and project window chrome to 
match, for a more integrated overall appearance. (For customers 
used to the old behavior, this can be set in the "Appearance" 
preferences.) For customers who have never before used BBEdit or 
TextWrangler, the "BBEdit Dark" color scheme is now the factory 
default; this can be changed if desired in the "Text Colors" preferences.


* **Improved platform behavior** - Thanks to extensive internal 
overhaul, BBEdit now supports intrinsic OS behaviors such as 
Split View (and many others).


* **Improved UI for FTP/SFTP Browsers, Text Factory, and Preview 
windows** - many non-editing windows have been overhauled for 
improved appearance and behavior, and to add features.


* **New "Canonize" tool** - Provides a text-based model for 
batch search and replace, either within a single file or (by 
using a Text Factory) in multiple files.


* **New "Columns" Editing Commands** - Easily cut, copy, delete, 
or rearrange columns in delimited (CSV, TSV) text files without 
requiring a spreadsheet or complicated regular expressions.


* **FTP/SFTP browsers** now feature an outline view for improved navigation

* **Text Factory windows** now provide the ability to turn 
individual steps on and off


* **Preview in BBEdit windows** now provide runtime 
introspection of previewed pages using the WebKit Inspector


* **Text Extraction** - This powerful addition to BBEdit's 
legendary searching capabilities allows you to locate and 
collect search results into a single text document. Extraction 
can be run on the active text document, or across multiple files 
and folders. Use of Grep replacement patterns during extraction 
enables transformations to the extracted text.


* **Extensive Internal Modernization** - Many internal 
subsystems have been rewritten or updated to support new 
features, improve performance, add refinement, and make future 
enhancements possible.


You can read more about these, and many other changes in BBEdit 
12, in the BBEdit 12 change notes:

You could try this:

   defaults write com.barebones.bbedit SaveDocumentState -bool NO

I don't know if that's what you had set before, or not.

This is with version 11.6.8 (397082).

I also may have tried beta 12.0 399015 around the same time.  Maybe that did

My settings got hosed the other day (thanks Apple).  Ever since then when I
