[ANN] BBEdit 10.0.2 (3087) pre-release
Rich Siegel
So much for taking Labor Day off... A new 10.0.2 pre-release
build is now available.
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 the changes in the software since the
last public release. 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.
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 <sup...@barebones.com> and we will deal
with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on
topic and productive for all list members.
============================================================================
version 10.0.2 (3087) (9/6/2011)
Additions
---------
* [DOC] "Open File by Name" has gotten a makeover. The window that
opens is now modeless, and you can leave it open while
doing other
things in BBEdit. Activating the Open File by Name window (or
choosing the menu command) will place keyboard focus in the search
box and select its contents, so that you can just start
typing. Use
the "x" widget to clear your entry.
If you desire, you can enter an absolute path (e.g.
`/usr/include/stdio.h`), a home relative path
(`~/Library/`), or a
URL (`http`, `ftp`, `sftp`, and several other schemes are supported
internally), and clicking the "Open" button will open the indicated
item (assuming it exists).
Otherwise, if no matches are found for the string you
entered, the
"Open" button will instead read "Search". Clicking the
Search button
will search for appropriate matches to the file name: a wildcard
match if you employed any wildcard characters when entering the
name; or an exact-name match if not.
There's a search history; when you open a matched item, the string
you used is stored. The magnifying glass contains a popup menu
listing the recently used strings.
* [DOC] The Arrange command on the Window menu toggles to
"Tile Two
Front Windows" when you hold down the Option key. It does
what it
says.

Fixes
-----
* Fixed bug in which quitting BBEdit while a window was in
full-screen mode (on Lion) would cause the window to reopen
at its
full-screen size, but not in full screen mode. (The window is
reopened at the size it was before it was put into full screen
mode.)
* Let the system know that it's OK for BBEdit's palettes to function
as auxiliary windows in full-screen mode.
* [218005] Dropping a `.bbpackage` (BBEdit package) on the
application now offers to install it for you.
* [215258] Fixed bug in which "Show Files" or "Hide Files" would
resize a window when it was in full-screen mode, leading to various
sorts of antisocial behavior.
* [217931] Fixed bug in which double-clicking on the closing angle
bracket of an HTML or XML tag would in some circumstances shorten
the selection inappropriately.
* [218168] Fixed bug in which editing a file filter in the Setup
window that had been added using the Setup window directly (versus
having been created somewhere else) would write the changes
out to
permanent storage correctly, but not display them when
viewing the
filter in the Setup window in that session of BBEdit.
- When the Live Search command is executed, the text in the Live
Search field is selected (making it easier to overtype with
a new
string).
* Fixed bug in which doing a "Save As" to change an HTML/XML file's
encoding, and the selected encoding was in conflict with the
document's internal metadata, upon confirming the warning
sheet, the
document would be saved with its previous encoding, rather
than the
selected encoding.

Glenn R. Martin
workflow (or rather what i wished it to be).
stratboy
drag drop multiple images from the project drawer to hml documents,
lacks the auto setup of dimensions for the image tag, and so the other
fast tag setups that v9 has, such as the pre defined title filed for
the anchor tags (we always put titles: so like the href prop, I should
not have to select the title field from the menu to define it: and why
are there both the class and id attributes then? Title is quite
mandatory in good html programming, while class and id are just
options). So, to me, it's still a downgrade. It really seems that none
of the bbedit programmers are advanced html programmers. You should
hire someone to extensively check the real usability and effectiveness
of the html tools. I'm shure you would end up strongly improving this
aspect of bbedit.
You surely did something good by adding the ability to add arbitrary
properties to html tags, but you stripped out ALL the good things
there were in v9. v10 seems just an heavily incomplete draft, not a
finished upgrade. So right direction, but far from the final step (at
least for what affects the html tools and projects).
Bye!
