[ANN] BBEdit 15.5.2

[Rich Siegel]

Good { morning, afternoon, evening },

We are pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of BBEdit 15.5.2. This is a free update for anyone using BBEdit 15, and includes a number of fixes for reported issues, as well as all the new features and refinements previously released as part of the BBEdit 15 upgrade.

A complete digest of the changes is available here:

<https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/notes-15.5.2.html>

If you're already using BBEdit 15 (outside of the Mac App Store), you can choose "Check for Updates" from the BBEdit menu, or get the update from the BBEdit updates page:

<https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/updates.html>

Mac App Store customers of BBEdit will get the update automatically, and if you have an active subscription, all of the new advanced features are immediately available to you.

For those using an older version: if you would like to upgrade your paid BBEdit license, you are welcome to do so, starting here:

<https://www.barebones.com/store/bbedit_upgrades.html> .

If you purchased a BBEdit 14 license directly from us (or using our FastSpring web store) on or after July 1, 2023, you have been sent a free license upgrade, to the email address you used when purchasing. If you did not receive this, please check your spam traps.

Meanwhile, BBEdit offers a 30-day evaluation period. During that period, all of BBEdit’s features are available. When it ends, you can still use BBEdit — with no nag screens or unsolicited interruptions, for free, forever.

After the evaluation period, you may re-enable all of BBEdit’s exclusive features at any time by purchasing a license (at a discount, if you have a paid license for a previous version).

Enjoy,

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

A relatively recent convert to BBedit’s Text Factory function, I’d like to add one other find/replace item to the roster of commands in an existing filter.

I’m probably missing something obvious, but I’d welcome guidance in how to do that. I’d expect to be able to press that + button at the bottom, but it’s grayed out.

Thanks,

CM

The "+" button is enabled when an item is selected in the list of actions on the left; you can also double-click one or drag it in to the list on the right.

Thanks, as ever. 

But is there a way to add an already-existing Find/Replace All command?

Sure; just add a Replace All action to your factory, then click the Options button to bring up the dialog and use the saved search pattern (or search history) popup to select the desired item).

That works! Thanks.

A modest suggestion: An “Edit Text Filter/Factory” menu item or even just an entry in the help manual would probably help others in my situation.
