Definitely nobody else making changes. This is a micro network of just two of us plus the server. Just happened again. I opened an older BBEdit project and BBE updated it to a ".bbprojectd" file. Then about 5 seconds later, up pops this warning that the file may have been changed on disk by another application. My options are "Cancel" and "Save Anyway". I'm not actually "saving" anything - the project is updated, no files are open. Clicking Cancel just makes the dialog pop up again. I hit Cancel then closed it before the dialog had a chance to reappear. Then reopened. Seems ok for the moment. But this frequently happens after doing a "save as" with a new name. Could something in the OS be modifying the files after I save them? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
