With such tools available as “bbedit” and “bbdiff” which allow you to open a document in BBEdit and trigger BBEdit’s file comparison feature, respectively, directly from the command line, this integration has become a very valuable part of my workflow. One of the things that sets BBEdit apart from its competition is its very useful integration with the command line. That leads me into what I like about it so much. These are my largest complaints, however, and when you can only complain about such relatively trivial things, it must be a good product.
BBEDIT 10.5 PRO
Most of these quirks have been fixed in the new version, but some, such as the windows resizing strangely when going back to a single monitor after using two (read: MacBook Pro plugged into external monitor). Before version 10.5, the window behavior was sometimes a bit odd with such things as multiple-monitors and the fullscreen mode introduced in OS X Lion (10.7). It is bulky and bit clunky with its always-visable scrollbars and lack of any fancy polish.
BBEDIT 10.5 MAC
Before I begin, I will start by saying that I have only relatively recently started using it (about four months ago) and that it was a bit rough at first, but has slowly developed into a necessary tool which I enjoy using for my day-to-day programming needs.Īt first glance, it is not the prettiest Mac app around.
BBEDIT 10.5 FOR MAC
Moral of the story: the less you customize and hotrod your computer and OS, the less trouble you will have with said computer.With the recent release of BBEdit 10.5, I feel it appropriate to talk a bit about the editor that everyone seems to love for Mac OS. Once I removed the alias, everything went back to normal. With the broken alias in place, BBEdit was unable to replace those Application Support files and crashing (harder in more recent versions). Very necessary BBEdit Application Support folder What was great about this is that I’d see all my recent files when reopening BBEdit on one of my four or five work computers (yes, I really do wander from working on one computer to another, I’m thinking of cutting back both computers and hours on the computer). It turns out I’d put a alias from the ~/Application Support/BBEdit to my Dropbox. Until version 4.4.4 Default Folder could force crash BBEdit. I’m not the only one to be made nervous by Default Folder.
BBEDIT 10.5 SOFTWARE
Checking out BBEdit’s list of conflicting software didn’t help (it turns out I’ve dumped all my Contextual Menu extensions already).
Still I wanted my BBEdit back for the nice HTML tools, HTMLpreview and occasional grep searches on folders. Strangely TextWrangler ran just fine so I used it as a crutch in the meantime.
On the other hand, Dropbox over the last two years has become very CPU greedy, often spending hours using a whole processor or two on indexing. It is more of a nuisance as one must quit all applications to be able to pull the drive. I’ve moved back to moving around with a thumbdrive. What was great about Dropbox is how it integrates tightly with applications like 1password and Typinator which need daily trimming. I would love to have been inside those meetings, before and after. To the Dropbox founders credit, the requirement to openly appoint Condoleeze Rice on the Board of Directors suggests someone felt that founders Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi needed very close supervision.
Regardless, with international state terrorist and Bush security czarina Condoleeza Rice on the Board of Directors, Dropbox had to go. One of the services with which it was relatively difficult to part was Dropbox. We’ve been slowly removing American cloud services from Foliovision, as the extent of American duplicity about privacy and industrial espionage becomes apparent.
