So, session 1 may have 5 problematic files ... all alphabetically

And then I get the call from a different customer asking me to do a

The way BBedit works now, I have 2 options ... all files will
either individually open into new front windows, or they'll open
into the drawer of my existing frontmost window. so ... (assuming
i've set BBedit to open new files directly into my frontmost
windows drawer) ... Combining all 8 files from 2 different sites
into one drawer would probably complicate things, and often does.
So in short, the way I use drawers is by task, all the files of a
given task are in a drawer'd window. Every new task warrants the
creation of a new drawer'd window to hold its files.
If BBedit had the option to open new files into a NEW window's
drawer only if 2 or more files were opened at once, it would be
ideal. I sent this off as a Requested Feature earlier this week to
BBEdit support. In the meantime, Peter Lewis had suggested an
applescript to do the job and it seems to be working great! Thanks
again Peter.
How about, when that call from the second customer comes in, you hit
Command-N to create a new BBEdit window (which will be frontmost, of
course). Now when you open the new files from the second customer's
website, they open in this new frontmost window.
Wouldn't that work?
