[ANN] BBEdit 12.1.5 (410085) pre-release

2018-06-06 Thread Rich Siegel 

Good morning folks,

We're currently working on another maintenance update to BBEdit 
12 to address a few recently reported issues.


Note that this is a _pre-release_ version. The intent is to fix 
bugs and address areas of improvement based on what our 
customers have reported. However, since the software is at this 
point not fully tested, there _may_ be bugs and regressions.


If this prospect makes you nervous, then sticking with the 
public release versions is your best course of action. Nobody 
will be offended if you choose to do so; you're under no 
obligation to install and use anything but a public release. :-)


Complete change notes to date for all the pre-release builds in 
this cycle are available here:


  

The change notes are organized into additions, changes, and 
fixes, and are annotated where appropriate with case numbers. So 
if you recognize a number corresponding to a support case that 
was opened for you, you can now verify that it's been fixed 
correctly. Please take the time to review the changes before 
using the new build -- it'll be worth your time.


One final note: If you run into a bug in a pre-release version, 
PLEASE DO NOT REPORT THE BUG TO THE LIST. This includes asking 
about whether others have seen the same problem. Instead, please 
send a bug report to  and we will deal 
with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on 
topic and productive for all list members.


Here is the list of changes made since the previous public release:



version 12.1.5 (410085) (2018-06-06)

Additions

o   (none in this build)

Changes
---

*   [DOC] Deactivated the Kite support.

Fixes
-

*   [356182] Fixed bug in which the "Insert Clipping" panel would
crash when double-clicking in the blank space of the list.

*   [356203] Fixed bug in which the Setext (yes, Setext) language
module didn't properly generate function menu entries or folds
for sections.

*   [354050] Fixed a bug which would sometimes cause the progress
panel to be left behind after connecting to an FTP server, 
if it

took long enough.

*   [354050] Fixed bug in which overlapping progress boxes could
appear when connecting to an FTP/SFTP server, either in the
FTP/SFTP browser window or in the "Save to FTP/SFTP Server"
panel.

*   [356214] Fixed bug in which quitting the application would clear
any text that had been placed on the Clipboard.

*   [345567, 356249] Fixed bug in which Perl functions with
parameterized attributes would not appear in the function menu.

*   [355320] If the `AllowSingleClickLineSelection` expert
preference is turned _off_, clicking in the "dead space" between
the left side of a line and the gutter (or line bar, if the
gutter is hidden) or left edge of the window (if the gutter and
line bar are hidden) will now place the insertion point at the
beginning of the indicated line, rather than doing nothing.

*   [356394, 356406] Fixed bug in which the completion panel would
continue to operate after having explicitly accepted a completion
that happened to be a prefix for one or more other completions.
(This was most likely to happen with dictionary words.)

*   [356389] Fixed regression in which some forms of heredoc were
not properly scanned by the Unix Shell Script (and shell
worksheet) coloring mechanics.

*   [356159] Fixed various misbehaviors that would occur during
Japanese (and other non-roman) text entry.

*fin*

The package can be downloaded from our web server:



Enjoy,

R.

Re: auto-save front-most window on application switch

2018-06-06 Thread Roland Küffner 
Hi Rails,

I don’t wan’t to start an argument on what „modern developer workflow“
would mean. Personally, I would never want to have an automatic
saveOnSwitching - but I can see why someone might like it.

That said, rejoice: BBEdit already has you covered. Read the section
„Attaching Scripts to Events“ in chapter 13 of the fine manual (p. 300ff in
the version 12.1.4). BBEdit provides useful hooks to hang small convenience
scripts on. Quote:

> applicationWillSwitchOut: called when BBEdit is being put into the
> background. You could use this (for example) to save outstanding changes to

>
(Another not-BBEdit-centric recommendation: Try the excellent Keyboard
Maestro . You can use it to add this kind of
behavior and a gazillion more to any app).

Enjoy, Roland

auto-save front-most window on application switch

2018-06-06 Thread Rails Smith 
Feature Request please...

Modern developer workflows adopted an autosave View/Window on the 
application switch event (well, it appears like this as a User). 

For example when I switch from BBEdit to another application, such as 
Terminal, I need my changes to be saved without an additional key-modified 
keystroke by me. 

After 25 years of saving and debugging hundreds of times per week, this 
feature *will* alleviate risks such as the occupational hazard of carpal 
tunnel and other RSIs 
.

I saw this was also requested in 2011. 

Can we get an expert option for this feature?

Many thanks!

And congratulations to everyone at BBEdit on the entry into the App Store.
That's was cool to hear yesterday. 
I hope that you can still sell direct too. 

Cheers!
RS

Re: BBEdit comes back to Mac App Store?

I see that my current early 2011 MBP will be dropped. What a shame. I just put 
an SSD drive and was thinking of changing the battery for another 7 years of 
use...
