Yummy Software

I recently discovered some problems when editing several files with the same name in the external editor.
My folder structure on the ftp server is like this:

index.html
company
  |-- index.html
services
  |-- index.html

Not to unusual for a website. :)

Problem #1
I was editing index.html and company/index.html at the same time, and made changes to both files. After saving both, index.html had the contents of company/index.html, and the latter wasn't uploaded at all. TextWrangler didn't show an error, so I assume they were correctly saved locally, but not uploaded.

Problem #2
Probably related is an error I get occasionally when trying to edit two files of the same name quickly (doubleclick on the first, doubleclick on the second before the first has oppened in the editor). YummyFTP then states that this file is already beeing edited.

Problem #3
I rarely get the error message in YummyFTP that a file can not be edited, because I seem to lack permissions to write to the "Edits" folder. This also occured only when editing several files with the same name and doing that fast.

All these problems could probably be solved by replicating the folder structure of the server to the "Edits" folder, but that's just a guess...

PS: Using YummyFTP 1.5.1 on an iMac Core Duo that is.

Urg! Ok I'll take a look at what's going on.

Come on, it's weekend! It bad enough that I have to work! :)

JD,

Since we have had email discussions about this area, I thought I would try to duplicate Andreas' problems, but haven't been able to. Opening the two index files seems to work OK: no warning about a file being open already, and no mix up on editing and saving that I can generate.

However if you select both files and then double-click either, up comes the warning message that one is already being edited (which is wrong since in fact neither is opened). If you select/open one file, then quickly select/open the second (i.e. double-clicking), there seems to be no problem.

This is with 10.3.9, BBEdit 8.2.6, 1.5.2b4.

(I still think my idea of using a hash of the server/path-name would eliminate any confusion with the temporary folder names :) )
Cheers

Yep, I've reproduced this behavior too. I'm on it!...

I've fixed this and will distribute a new beta shortly. The problem has nothing to do with the folder names or structure, btw ;)

Thanks! I hope you didn't sacrifice the remaining weekend hours just because I don't like to edit one file at a time. :)

If I can help by testing the new version, I'll gladly do that.

Of course I did! But that's ok... you can pay me later  :D

Seriously though, are you not already a beta tester?? If not, I'll add your name to the list, if that's ok.

I'll get some swiss chocolate for you. :)


Absolutely. Last time, I decided against it because I didn't have enough time to take a deeper look. Things look brighter now.

hehehe I was just kidding, but that chocolate does sound very Yummy!

I'll add you to the beta list then. Thanks! :)

Just to note that the latest beta build of Yummy has this problem fixed.
