BBEdit saves "state" in a database that is associated with each user so that it is possible for different programmers editing the same file at different times to retain differentDoes this mean that there is still a resource fork for a BBEdit file?
No. This state is stored as a preference file in ~/Library/Preferences/ com.barebones.bbedit.PreferenceData/Document State.plist.
The FTP client I have is Panic's "Transmit" and it has a rather excellent "Synchronise" feature. However I guess that to use the Synchronise feature I would be leaving all resource forks in place, such as those on .png, .gif and .jpg files for example.
I would assume so, yes (I use Fugu, and I assume the same thing of it). Any modification of a file by an FTP program would be a deal-breaker for me (save for the natural ASCII newline translation).
So the question this is all leading to is: is it okay just to leave the resource forks in place when uploading files to servers for use in web-sites?
Sure, but it DOES makes the file larger to download, especially if you're storing image thumbnails. -- Morbus Iff ( there is no morbus, there is only zuul! ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request?
