command line open multiple files in same new window

[jjon]

`bbedit *.py` opens all the ".py" files in the current directory in the front window. That's great.

`bbedit *.py --new-window` opens each ".py" file in its own new separate window

But, what if I want to open all the ".py" files in the current directory _together_ in their own new window?

Hi,

Open de directory as an ad-hoc project:

bbedit .

Best,

Maarten

Thank you Maarten, That's very handy, and I had not yet tried it. But, I wish I could also be more selective.

I think this is due to a bug that's been fixed for the next update. Try using "Early Access" in the Application preferences to get the current 14.1.1 beta, and if you continue to have problems please write to Tech Support (as usual).

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.

Thanks Rich! That did the trick. The glob identified files are now opened together in their own window. ```bbedit --new-window *.py```

Neat!
