Hey Raj,
It's unclear to me what you're doing.
If you're opening a number of files at once from the same location you can
select multiple files in the open dialog.
BBEdit 10.5 remembers the last location the open dialog went to on my system.
I use Default Folder to have much more control than that.
You can exercise quite a lot of control by using a script.
This will default to the front window open in the Finder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
try
tell application "Finder"
if front window exists then
set folderAlias to target of front window as alias
else
error "No windows are open in the Finder!"
end if
end tell
set fileList to choose file default location folderAlias with multiple
selections allowed
tell application "BBEdit"
open fileList
end tell
on error e number n
set e to e & return & return & "Num: " & n
tell me to set dDlg to display dialog e with title "ERROR!" buttons
{"Cancel", "Copy", "OK"} default button "OK"
if button returned of dDlg = "Copy" then set the clipboard to e
end try
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the Applescript Editor to save it.
Put it in the scripts menu.
Give it a keyboard shortcut.
And go to town.
You can even limit the types of files it will see, but that takes a little more
code.
