Maybe I'm missing something, but I have never understood the usefulness of the "Only in new" and "Only in old" lists. When I first started using this feature I assumed there would be some way to copy these files into the same relative path in the folder where they didn't exist, but if there is I still haven't figured it out, and the documentations doesn't say anything about it. There doesn't even seem to be any way of getting information about the locations of these files without opening them, and the only way to copy them into the other folder is by using "Save As..." or "Save a Copy..." for each file, which is not only tedious, but it doesn't preserve the creation/ modification dates of the original files. So far about the only use I've been able to make of these lists is to open the files, click the "Reveal in Finder" icon on each one, then open another Finder window, navigate to the other folder, then copy the selected file.
Am I just expecting too much of BBEdit by expecting it to be more helpful in this process, or is there a feature that I'm overlooking? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
