I had a large project open in Xcode, and accidentally double-clicked in the Groups & Files list a 93 MB static library (.a). Launch Services decided such files were handled by BBEdit.

BBEdit has been cranking away at 100% of a core for quite some time now (in text rendering, if the Sample log does not deceive me), and this gives me leisure to wonder:

* Is there some way to stop BBEdit in this sort of deep loop? Without killing it?

* Failing that, is there some way to tell it to save all its files, so killing it doesn't cost me anything? A quick-guess AppleScript (it's a read-only language; all scripts are guesses) of

tell application "BBEdit"
        save every document
end tell

has no visible effect.

I fear I know the answer -- that neither is possible while the event loop is blocked -- but I can hope.
