Temporary filenames change so editor cannot keep track!
« on: April 22, 2006, 01:03:12 AM »
Each time a file is downloaded for editing in an external editor it seems to be given a different name, or put in a different temporary folder. This means that BBEdit doesn't know the file has been edited before and so has no recollection of window settings or cursor-position -- the cursor is always placed at the top.

With MacSFTP (my previous app before switching to Yummy) the file was stored in a single temporary folder and retained its actual name, so when two hours later I edited the file again, BBEdit took me straight to where in the file I was last editing, something I found very useful.

Could this system be used for Yummy?  If there is a vital reason for the present system then OK I will live with it, but if this system was chosen for no especially good reason, then I suggest the single folder option would be more than useful.

Thanks.

Hmm, that's a nice feature...

I'm looking into it ;)
