Yes, they are. Same reason. When you drag files from the Drawer to a new File Group, it's dragging pointers to the temp files, not the remote files.

When you use BBEdit's S/FTP, it manages all this for you, but when you use an external client, it can't.

There is room for improvement here, though. When you open a file via an external client, the URL is sent to BBEdit, which is why BBEdit can show you the URL rather than the temp file's path. From here, if you add the file to a file group or to the recent menu, BBEdit could make note of the URL and later (in another session) use its built-in SFTP functionality to save the file again on the server. If the server login credentials are in the keychain, then it wouldn't even need to prompt for them; it would just work.

This would allow one to use an external client for functionality that's beyond the scope of what BBEdit provides and yet, once the working files are nailed down, let BBEdit take care of the simple save operation on its own when a file is reopened directly in BBEdit in a later session.

And, yes, this will be going to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
