Just finished a text filter (in Lua) that cleans up source files for me (mostly comment formatting). Works great :)
However, if the filter does nothing (that is, the output text is the same as the input text), BBEdit always marks the document as dirty, even though nothing has changed. While this is ok, it would be nice to avoid this (as it also indicates to the user if the filter did anything or not). Can this be done? I can make the filter itself smart and detect if it makes any changes (I can even buffer up the entire input until I'm sure), but I don't see a way of telling BBEdit that the filter did not make any changes to the input. I'm assuming if I return nothing then BBEdit will just delete everything (oops!). TIA, --Tim -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
