Thanks for the help, Rich -- I'm now part way there.
I have a test directory with the following structure which is
partially making use of changes in the .bbeditSettings file:
test/
drupal.bbeditSettings
subdir/
test2.php
test.php
And the contents of my drupal.bbeditSettings file is:
[Editor]
AutoExpandTabs = 1
DefaultTabWidth = 2
[HTMLTidy]
TidySpacesPerTab = 2
[TabConversion]
DetabWidth = 2
EntabWidth = 2
At this point if I open test.php or subdir/test2.php each file will be
opened with AutoExpandTabs on. Hitting the tab key gives two spaces.
So far, so good.
However, when I copy to the drupal.bbeditSettings file to a directory
on a SMB share, then it doesn't get used by BBEdit. I've also tried
copying my entire test directory to an SMB share and the settings file
doesn't get used there as it does when it is on my local drive. Is
there a work around that would allow the settings file to work in a
directory on a mounted drive?
Other Issues encountered:
1. I noticed is that if the file doesn't have a trailing new-line then
the settings file won't be used.
2. If I open the View --> Text Display --> Show Fonts panel, the Tab
Width is still listed as 4.
When hit the tab key however, I get two spaces and the Tab Width
displayed in the Show Fonts panel switches to 2. This is a little
funny, but not a big deal as the tab width generally works.
3. The EntabWidth, DetabWidth, and TidySpacesPerTab don't seem to have
any effect, but I don't really need these settings anyway.
Thanks again for your assistance.
