Generally, I think BBEdit is superb .. fast, easy to use, clean, and intuitive.
BUT one place it falls down for me is the odd setup in the Multi-file search dialog box. How do I tell it WHERE to search? Yes, there is the "Search in:" list box, but it strikes me as odd that this shows a series of check boxes. Where is the button to choose a folder to search? Apparently it's "Other.." which strikes me as a very odd way to express this functionality. Most OS X apps use something like "+" and "-" buttons to add/remove items from a list of search locations, and imho this dialog is crying out for a redesign based on this metaphor. The layout doesnt help either, since the "Other..." button is right next to "Options" and "Save Set", which tends to make it not appear to be joined to the Search In list at all. What this dialog should REALLY have, imho, is the current list of checkbox items, and below it four square buttons: "+", "-", "gear" and "save" (the gear button the usual OS X gear icon and the save is the usual save icon). The "+" and "-" button add/remove items from the search in list (folders), while gear takes the place of "options" and "save" takes the place of "save set". -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
