Re: Can 'normalize options' be applied to multiple files (eg: all files in a project)?

[gpan]

I tried the 'nuclear option' and it didn't seem to work.

Basically I want all files to have 'Auto-Expand Tabs' set to 'FALSE' by 
default.

In Preferences -> Editor Defaults, I have:

Auto-indent: ON
Balance While Typing: ON
Use Typographer's quotes: OFF
Auto-expand tabs: OFF
Show Invisible Characters: OFF
  Show Spaces: ON [disabled]
Check Spelling as you type: OFF
Soft Wrap Text to [Page Guide]

Every file I open has 'Auto-expand tabs' set to ON. I either have to set it 
to OFF explicitly or trigger 'Normalize Options' for the file.


...

What's an EditorConfig?

In that case one of two things is likely:

1. You have an EditorConfig file in the project which is setting 
options for those files;


2. You have a language-specific preference which is setting 
Auto-Expand Tabs. (You can check the Languages preferences.)

I suggest a Google search. :-)

What Rich just said :-) or for background plus some 
BBEdit-specific details, please see the "EditorConfig" section 
on page 46-47 of the current user manual  (via Help -> User Manual).

Re: Text-files disappear again!

[DavidWeinberger]

At least some version of the Dropbox service have a recovery feature that 
lets you undelete recently deleted files. I hope yours does!

The "Deleted Files" link at Dropbox.com for my version is on the Files page.
