As I mentioned in my previous post, after we were advised to look in "
~/Library/BBEdit/Auto-Save Recovery/Data", I created a brand new text
document, and just typed some gibberish in it, but I did not save the
file.
However, just as the previous person had stated -- sorry, I forget his
name, and I already trashed that email -- within a minute of creating
that new untitled file, a new text file did in fact appear in the
aforementioned path. I assume that these are the snapshots you are
referring to.
Correct.
But the point is, those files do have a creation date and a last
modified date in their "Get Info" window, if you do a command-i on
them from the Finder.
Yes, but the dates on the snapshot files (and everyone is
*strongly* discouraged from messing around in the auto-save data
folder, by the way) do not reflect the creation and modification
dates of the untitled document.
Of course, the problem is that these snapshots -- assuming that is
what they are -- only have file names consisting of a series of
letters, numbers and dashes, which I am sure you personally
understand.
That's because they're internal data, not intended to be
user-visible. :-)
Also, by saying "Untitled documents don't correspond to any location
on disk", are you confirming what I suggested earlier that untitled
files are only stored in active memory, which is why they would not
yet have an address on your hard drive?
Correct.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.
