As others discussed here about two weeks ago, BBEdit Secret Preferences under the Help menu says: ### 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: defaults write com.barebones.bbedit State:UseResourceFork -bool YES ### Further: Do ftp apps remove resource forks? I just did an experiment with some jpeg files. I made copies of a jpeg file with GraphicConverter. For one copy, I checked "Save Web Ready" to remove the resource fork, and didn't do so when making the second copy. In the finder they showed as 51K and 148k. With both Interarchy and Fetch, after uploading as binary, both listed online as 51k. Also with both ftp apps, when I downloaded them, the finder showed them both as 51k. This suggests that these ftp apps stripped off the resource fork of the one that had it. A quick poke through the settings of both apps didn't reveal an option to include resource forks or not. Maybe Peter Lewis of Interarchy fame could enlighten us.
