I open a new discussion (I mentioned it also here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bbedit/GtQDEOGncf8) in order to keep the thread small.

My setup:

  • I use a Notes-Folder in Dropbox whith all of my text-files (that is md, txt, taskpaper - extensions).
  • I do this in order to be able to access this files from my iPhone with the app Editorial
  • I edit the files on my iMac using BBEdit
  • I often let the files open in BBEdit

My problem:

  • some of this files disappear! Take a look at this screenshot:

They are still open in BBEdit, but physically not there (= in Dropbox and in Finder) anymore.

The files were open in BBEdit but not in Editorial.

Right now I have two suspects (BBEdit and Dropbox) but I don't know how to investigate further.

The problem is important for me due to the fact that I have all of my text-files there (515 files - 19.8 MB right now) :-(

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Regards,
Vlad

Hey, Ollie!


Ok, I'll do.

I had the hope some of you had already had this before, that's why here.


Regards,
Vlad
