BBEdit No Longer Opens Files in Transmit FTP

[TimH]

I've been using Transmit FTP and BBEdit for years. BBEdit has always been my default editor for opening files in Transmit.

For seemingly no reason, I can no longer open FTP files from Transmit in BBEdit. I can open them in any other text editor -- just not BBEdit.

I've searched for the terms "bbedit" and "transmit" in the console logs and didn't seem to find anything helpful, but here are the lines that contain bbedit:

Oct  3 14:47:23 iMac.local BBEdit[24152]: The following problem(s) were encountered while loading the language module at /Users/tim/Dropbox/Application Support/BBEdit/Packages/git.bbpackage/Contents/Language Modules/diff.plist:

Can anyone help me?

How are you doing this?

In Transmit preferences, I set BBEdit as my external editor and
check the box for Use application for all files. Then I set the
double-click action for Edit in external editor.

Or from the file's contextual menu, I can choose Open with BBEdit.

Both methods still work for me and didn't change with this new
version of BBEdit.

That setting is still correctly set. I reset it again just to make sure.

It seems to be an error of some sort that is preventing it from
loading in BBEdit. The file downloads in Transmit (to who knows where)
but it does not open in BBEdit. In addition, if I right click on the
file in Transmit and select Open with BBEdit, it does not work, but
does work with all other text editors.

I will bet a dollar to a donut :) that your Mac is running OS X 10.8.2.

Based on prior reports, we've determined, via in-house testing and
correspondence with the folks at Panic, that this problem is due to an
event-handling bug in OS X 10.8.2 (which both Panic and we have reported to
Apple).

Due to the nature of this issue, there is no direct workaround; however,
you can still do the following:

* use Transmit's "Mount as Disk" capability to attach the server as
a locally-mounted volume, from which you can open & edit files.

* open remote files directly into BBEdit via File -> Open from
FTP/SFTP Server.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hopefully Apple will correct this
bug in a future OS update.

Patrick,

Is there any reason it would have started out of the blue? It just
started yesterday and I'm pretty sure I updated to 10.8.2 some time
before yesterday.

In addition, why would it only cause a problem with BBEdit but not
with other software like Sublime 2?

Yes; the problem is sporadic, so you just didn't hit it before.

Because files get handed off to them via a different mechanism.

This sounds frustrating. If it's of any help, I am having no
problem (so far) with Fetch opening remote files for editing
with BBEdit; OSX 10.8.2, BBEdit 10.5beta.

Fetch isn't free any more, but I see there's a free 15-day
trial; I have no connection except for using it forever.

For the record :-), both app combos are subject to the OS bug which causes
this problem.

[Tim Harrison]

I usually work on multiple files at once so that won't work for me.

I have noticed, however, that the problem comes and goes. Just today
it worked fine again but yesterday it didn't.

The OS bug which causes this will happen with both BBEdit and TextWrangler.
