I assume that a passive connection is still being used, if you and the 'change' list say so. But that is not the 'feature' I am asking about. My question concerned the replacement of the previous, two click or key press saving dialog to the current three click or key press method. At least the current method uses the same 'enter/return' key. But the space bar is pretty easy to hit, even for a two/thee fingered 'typist.'
My question was as much about why the procedure was changed as much about it being changed. As an obvious non-power user, it was a little startling to see a completely different series of dialogs the first time I used the new version. OK, I didn't read the changes list. I didn't have any thing about the 'old' version that needed changing. :-) So, my original question remains; why was the method/ procedure changed? As I asked before, was it for security reasons? It was obviously done intentionally and I will assume that the majority of concerns expressed about this part of BBEdit wanted something different. I suppose I should be happy just to know WHAT was changed and get on with life! ;-) Thanks for your help. Sorry to have bothered anyone...I actually meant to add my questions to another post on this same subject but didn't see any kind of 'reply' link except the "+ new post". Obviously, what I call a post to a thread has a slightly different definition at Google... Hope the rest of your year is even less difficult! 8-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BBEdit Talk" group.
