Hi Doug. If you find it unsettling, just change it back to the old
'resource fork' behaviour. :-)
"Beginning with version 8.0, BBEdit stores document state (window
position and various settings) in a central repository in your BBEdit
preferences folder. If you wish, you can ask BBEdit to store document
state in the resource fork of the document's file."
The command-line salute for doing this is in the Help documentation,
Help -> Secret Preferences. It's the last one in the list.
Best,
Kerri
