It's easy enough to put them all in one folder…
Since they appear as Unix Executable Files, they presumably have no file name extensions. So add one, .txt or something appropriate. Without an extension, Change All is unlikely to work anyway. And the notion of "save as BBEdit files" is pretty much obsolete under Snow Leopard since Creator Codes are no longer honored. Even if you are not using 10.6 yet, relying on Creator codes is just moving from one obsolete system to another. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
