Hello Chris, It seems that you and I were thinking along the very same lines. In fact, nine hours ago, I informed Rich via private email that I had basically done the same thing as what you accomplish in this script, but manually, being as I am no AppleScript expert. In other words, I manually

Hello Sam, Thanks for your response. Actually, that is EXACTLY the answer that I needed. In fact, only minutes after you responded to me, Rich wrote to me privately and pointed me to the very same file. :) So for now, until I can figure out why my machine periodically crashes and wipes out

Re: Where Are Prefs for Open Windows in "Windows" Palette Saved?

Hi Bill, For reference, the Windows palette does nothing more (and nothing less :-) than list all the documents & windows currently open within BBEdit, but plays no part in managing the latter. Thus, if BBEdit occasionally does not reopen all the documents that you expected, _this_ is the

Re: Where Are Prefs for Open Windows in "Windows" Palette Saved?

Hello Kerri, Okay, I am a little confused here. Over the many years that I have used BBEdit, and participated on this list, I have seen a lot of discussions where list members ask questions and get answers and solutions from other list members. Certain members here have been very generous with

Re: Where Are Prefs for Open Windows in "Windows" Palette Saved?

Hi Bruce, Thanks for the suggestion, but what you describe is actually a lot more complicated than what I need. In fact, what I need is ALREADY present on the “Windows” palette on the far right side of my screen. I don’t really need to set up a new system of projects as you describe.

Bruce, I may end up doing that. But then, they are probably reading this thread already anyway. :) I didn’t know that about Maytag people. But now you’ve got me wondering. Does Rich just wait for something to fix? Or does he hope that nothing ever breaks? :) Kind regards, Bill Kochman,

Re: Where Are Prefs for Open Windows in "Windows" Palette Saved?

Hello Neil, I agree that BBEdit is a pretty solid app. To my recollection, it has rarely, if ever, crashed. No, the lost windows does not happen regularly, not everyday, and not even every week. And when these occasional system crashes do occur, I am not even sure what is causing them.

Re: Where Are Prefs for Open Windows in "Windows" Palette Saved?

i have on (rare) occasion had palettes disappear, or their positions forgotten. i’ve sent emails to support and gotten pretty quick ’try this’ responses… each of which resolved my issue until the next release came out. they’re like maytag repair people… just waiting for something they can fix.

Re: Where Are Prefs for Open Windows in "Windows" Palette Saved?

My experience has been that BBEdit is consistently impeccable about reopening all windows and their contents, after an app quit, after a logout, after a system shutdown, even after a crash. If it is regularly losing windows for you, it sounds like something might be broken in your installation.

Re: Where Are Prefs for Open Windows in "Windows" Palette Saved?

Hello Chris, I kind of figured I might get your attention. :) Each of the 48 or so windows which I constantly have in the “Windows” palette are individual BBEdit text files. Some are HTML files, but they are also set to open with BBEdit. These files are scattered all over my hard drive. I use

Hello Gil, Thanks for responding. Well, I do have Xmenu installed, so it would be very easy for me to set up something like that. Of course, while it would place those particular files in the menubar at the top of my screen, I would still have to open each one manually, which means that they

Where Are Prefs for Open Windows in "Windows" Palette Saved?

Hello everyone, In my daily workflow, I always have about four dozen windows open in the "Windows" palette on the far right side of my screen using the Window -> Palettes -> Windows option in the BBEdit menubar. However, one rather annoying thing that happens is that sometimes when my
