Re: Symbols next to filenames (file names) in filelist (file list) in TextWrangler

I searched for "diamond" in the user manual:

> A solid diamond indicates that the document has been modified. A hollow diamond means only the state of the document (window position, selection range, scrolling position, and so on) has changed.


Good question! I remember when this vexed me, too.

I'm wondering what the symbols next to my file names mean. There is an open diamond and a solid diamond, but not all of the documents show a symbol next to their name. When I save the file, the symbol goes away completely.
