I actually just noticed this. That makes it a little more useful. But there's one other thing I noticed that, in the 10 or 15 times I've used the SFTP browser, I never actually realized: the browser *stays open *after opening files. I could theoretically just leave it open and open the files there. The only disadvantage is that it opens all the files in a separate window, which is usually my "scratch window" where I just have a bunch of random files open, so it gets a bit messy.
In fact, this has given me a new variation on the idea of allowing directories to be opened: instead of putting the SFTP browser in a separate window, why not just put it in the sidebar? That way, SFTP servers would behave almost exactly like local projects, minus some features perhaps. This seems like a logical way of doing it since the functionality is almost all there. It would still most likely require quite a bit of rework, and since Rich & crew probably have bigger fish to fry it's probably best suited for a BBEdit 12 feature request.
