I have to say I would consider this a bug in BBEdit; if BBEdit professes to adhere to the "Mac" way of doing things, then this shouldn't happen. >From my understanding of how Mac file "pointers" and the like should work, standard behavior for a program when using these pointers is to grab the file from its new location only if the old location does not have a newly placed file. That is, referencing a file in /blah/x should only go to /blah_me/y (to which an old /blah/x was moved) if /blah/x does not exist. Someone feel free to correct my understanding of the issue. Thus, in projects, I would expect BBEdit to follow the files if and only if these files were not "overwritten" by newer files in their old locations. -- Aaron W.
