clippings not working in BBEdit 11.1?

[László Sándor]

Hi,

I am not sure what went wrong now, as I transferred to a new Mac, BBEdit 11.1 and new TeX installation the same day, but placing Latex.bbpackage in /Users/laszlosandor/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Clippings was not enough to get the clippings working after a restart. I get a generic "File not found (MacOS Error code: -43)" error.

What am I doing wrong here?

If the clippings supposed to find standard TeX files which they might not, why isn't there an option to configure the clippings somehow? And why isn't the error message more helpful about which file is missing?

Thanks,

Laszlo

Cribbing from the "Packages" section on pg 331 of the current
PDF manual:

In order to use a package, you should place it within the
"Packages" subfolder of BBEdit’s application support folder:

/User/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Packages/

so please give that a try. :-)

I see. I was doing this by memory and got confused that the clean install had no Packages folder, while it had an empty Clippings folder.

By the way, how are the LaTeXGlossary303.sit.bin clippings supposed to work if we cannot extract StuffIt archives?

OK, good to hear you're set with that.

If you've got a current LaTeX clippings package then you
probably don't need those but just in case:

But the package does not show up anywhere even after restarting BBEdit.

I have Latex.bbpackage in /Users/laszlosandor/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Packages

Packages may contain any of clippings, language modules, preview
items, scripts, and/or text filters, which will all show up in
their usual locations.


However, since I've no idea what the package you've got actually
contains :-), please send a note to support with a copy of that
and we'll be happy to take a look.
