Hi Armin, If you never want BBEdit to reopen files on launch, go to the Application section of BBEdit's Preferences, and uncheck "Reopen documents that were open at last quit".
If you just want to restart it without reopening documents this one time, hold down cmd-ctrl-shift while launching BBEdit. (Page 40 of the fine manual has details...there are more granular options for this.) But it also would be a good idea to write to [email protected] if you're finding behavior that doesn't seem right. --Kerri On Wed, Mar 9, 2016 at 5:09 AM, 'armin' via BBEdit Talk < [email protected]> wrote: > I often have to inspect/edit really big files (e.g. IC-Layout data) which > reside on volumes mounted as smbfs. > When I save/close the file (even if I choose "don't save") I see the > rainbow pizza forever making it impossible to work on. > All I can do, is force quit BBEdit. > But when I restart, BBEdit will even reopen the big file which again I > cannot close without the blocking pizza. > > This behavior is REALLY annoying and forces me to use good old "vi"...... > > Is there a way to force close a file which needs NOT to be saved without > any background work lasting forever? > Is there a way to start BBEdit _WITHOUT_ reopening files that were open at > force quit time (don't want to disable this globally)? > > Holding the cmd key at start brings up a dialog.
