Patrick and company.
It's been six weeks and I've been remiss in properly complaining
about the FTP feature set. Sorry -- been the summer and I've gotten
lax.
But I'm here now, trying to amend my evil ways and catch up with my
complaining. Once again, the only part of BBEdit that doesn't leave
me with an illegal smile is the behavior of the changes made to the
FTP dialogs and functionality. The most annoying, and only one that
causes me to lose face with clients is the spinning beachball of
death due to the mysterious lack of a cancel-able connect-to-server
dialog.
When using the ftp feature to connect to a server, if one enters in
the wrong IP (for instance), there is no way to gracefully escape the
request (command-period). One has to wait for the timeout, and
that's on the order of 60 seconds.
While we await the timeout, the FTP dialog box remains the foremost
window, obscuring any other application that is brought to the
foreground.
Bad form, says I. BBEdit should be well-behaved and tolerant of its
Master's mistakes, properly standing down when asked to do so, not
taking over the screen when stubbornly attempting connection to deaf
or nonexistant servers.
Shame on this pup -- it ain't hunting right. Using a PowerBook,
10.4.10. BBEdit 8.6.2
STill whining and cryin' about it. Please tell me it happens to
others. Or tell me it doesn't. Sanity is such a cheap thrill these
days.
