i wanted to express my appreciation to the team for grace under
pressure as they deal with a number of complex issues.
i think the issues drop (roughly) into two buckets: functionality and
usability. many of the posts here are about usability... this is
different, that is different, etc. some changes can be absorbed, and
some will always feel like losses... but bbedit still rocks.
i have a usability issue that drives me nuts... in a very small way. i
mentioned it to the guys, and patrick said they would look at it for a
future release. i wanted to find out if it bugs anyone else, and how
they deal with it.
i run bbedit with my main window on the left, and palettes on the
right... on a 30" monitor.
i set my default window to the exact size i want, and hit 'save
default project window'. i have 'show open documents' default set to
YES.
when i launch the app, the 'open documents' list on the left blows out
the window to the right from where i set it, under my palettes. in
other words, the window is now left-aligned where i set it, but the
'open documents' list blows out the right side the additional width of
the 'open documents' list.
if i select window->arrange, the main window goes right to where i set
it.
so... 'save default project window' doesn't appear to respect and/or
account for the additional width of the 'open documents' list, and yet
ARRANGE does.
i have now set a keyboard shortcut of command+9 to do window-
>arrange... but kind of think i shouldn't have to do something
additional to set up my workspace every time i open the app.
here's my question, in a parts:
- is it reasonable that i would have to do something additional to
set up my workspace once i've 'save(d) default project window'? why
not have the app do a default 'arrange' when it launches... especially
if there's only one document being opened?
- shouldn't 'save default project window' notice whether 'show
open documents' is YES/NO, and act accordingly?
this is admittedly a minor issue... if it's just MY issue, i will keep
hitting command+9.
comments welcome,
thanks again to all for the app that helps me do what i do, and pay
the mortgage.
bruce
