untitled text files

2016-06-09 Thread Greg Reyna
Is there a way to learn the creation date of an unsaved, "untitled text" file? I never have reset the numbering so it's up to 191. I'm curious, where are these files stored, anyway? The reopening of unsaved files is a wonderful feature of BBEdit. Thanks, Greg -- This is the BBEdit Talk

Hot key; Next Placeholder

2014-01-30 Thread Greg Reyna
When the ## placeholder is in a document, the tab key moves to it instead of acting as a regular tab. Is this how it's supposed to work? I'm using pretty much the default key mappings, so 'Control-accent', is set in Prefs as the default hot key for 'Next Placeholder'. I'd like to have both,

Copy text from Adobe Reader

2012-02-06 Thread Greg Reyna
I repeatedly copied text from a software help doc pdf in Adobe Reader, pasted it into a BBEdit doc, typed in my own notes saved. The BBEdit text encodings are set at the defaults, including Unicode (UTF-8). I 'Placed' (aka imported) the BBEdit doc into InDesign CS3. The resulting InDesign doc

Ok, I'm an idiot. The BBEdit window was so far south on my screen it must have disappeared behind the dock. After a reboot I glanced down to the right of my multi-tiny-icon dock and saw BBEdit's little right- side-of-the-title-bar button peeking out and making faces at me. My text files are

Files won't open

2011-10-21 Thread Greg Reyna
I've used BBEdit for years so I'm very surprised that suddenly it won't open some text files. Nothing happens. I just updated to 10.1 from 10.0.1, but that didn't help. I'd delete the prefs file but I'm not sure where it is...is that what I should do? This is odd. Recently, as a warning that

Thanks. I'll practice my Python to accomplish this (and to get rid of the Amiga's .info files) . I didn't know that about Snow Leopard. Good to know since my new computer arrives Tuesday. Greg On Oct 7, 2010, at 11:18 PM, Greg Reyna wrote: I've got a bunch of text files from an old

This works, but for curiosity's sake I'd like to know if there's a way to open a (currently active) doc in a new window without generating an 'Unnamed n' window along with it. tell application BBEdit if class of window 1 is text window then set f to file of document 1 of
