Hi Greg
Thanks for sharing this with the list ... it actually makes me think
of something I have wanted to be able to do.
I know that the TextFactory interface allows running of an
AppleScript, so I would assume since the TextFactory itself
determines what files are included / not included, could the script
be edited to work in such a workflow?
Such as:
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
tell text document
optimize
close saving yes
end tell
end tell
Regards,
Peter

repeat with i from 1 to count FilesList
open (item i of FilesList)
tell text document 1
optimize
close saving yes

Hiya,
I was very glad to see the optimize command in the menus on my 8.0
upgrade. It might have been there before and I missed it but since
I had been doing this type of optimization manually since about
1996 it great to see one command that would strip out all the tabs/
crs/excess spaces etc.
But I tried to make a small applescript to pull down the menu to
choose optimize in the hopes of automating it to work on whole
folders but did not get anywhere.
Is the optimize command one that I can applescript? Am I missing
something?
Thanks for any info.
