And this is something it shouldn't do. If it's going to convert the endings, it _must_ do it correctly. Really, that it silently converts line endings on opening is a problem. There needs to be some notification, perhaps a yes/no dialog. That it does it when you switch the line-end mode in the bottom drop-down is fine; that's the result of an user-requested action. But actually mucking with the contents of the file when it opens it (yes I know you still need to save it), in a way that is silent and non-obvious is bad. All that said, the real problem is the OP has inconsistant line-endings in his source files. That's a problem that needs to be fixed. BBEdit's handling of them is simply a side-show here. - Steve -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
