I may be using BBEdit in a unique way, so I doubt this feature will
come easily, but I figured I'd mention it on the boards and see what
kind of response I'd get.

I'm currently using ExpanDrive to navigate through my SFTP site. I use
CVS in my terminal to update files on the SFTP site, but open them as
if they were local files. When I do a CVS update, I need to close out
all of my files that have been updated and open them again so I have
the latest changes.

Is there a way to just reload the files within BBEdit, so I make sure
I have the latest changes?

A couple things come to mind:

1) Do you have the Preferences -> Application -> "Automatically
refresh documents as they change on disk" setting enabled?

2) Have you tried using the File -> "Reload from Disk" command?


I'm not sure if either of these will do what you're looking for, but
it's worth a try.

Apparently I completely missed the "Reload From Disk" feature in the
File menu, haha! Is there a way to maybe write a script that will
reload all open files?
