Yummy Software

Another bug I've been experiencing a little more frequently is when I am editing a file remotely and make changes by saving in BBEdit, and then make another change a minute or two later and try to save, Yummy FTP tells me that the file has been updated since my last upload and does this through the "sheet" dialog in Yummy FTP's main window. However, if I am editing a file remotely in BBEdit, BBEdit is the active application and therefore I cannot see the "sheet" dialog in Yummy FTP's window (although the Yummy FTP icon does bounce in the dock).

The problem is that it requires an extra step or two each time I make an update to a file -- I have to make Yummy FTP active and confirm that I want to replace the file -- even though I am the only one editing the file and the file hasn't been updated since my last upload/save.

Several times I have made sure that my server's date/time match my Mac's exactly. Yet for some reason, every now and then Yummy FTP thinks that the file I am editing has been updated by someone else since my last upload.

I hope I am explaining this clearly enough. The main thing is I want to get rid of all the repeated confirmation sheets each time I save my changes. If the bug that makes Yummy FTP think someone else has updated the file while I have it open can't be identified and fixed, maybe you could add a checkbox to the confirmation sheet that allows setting "do this for all" or "always replace".

thanks!

This is a new feature from the beta I sent you quite a while ago, and it's meant to protect you from overwriting someone else's edits by mistake. It can be disabled via a new option in the Remote Editing section of the Preferences.

However, what you've found is a bug in it that has since been fixed :)

I've emailed you a download link for the latest beta, and taken the liberty of adding your email address to the beta testers list so that you'll get notified automatically when any newer betas are released. I hope that's ok.

Thanks!

ahh that's an awesome feature!   :D

glad to hear the bug's been fixed.

I haven't received the email with the download link - which address did you send it to?

Please do add me to the beta tester list -- I'm honored!

No other FTP client comes close to what you've done and continue to do with Yummy FTP!

I mailed you the link a couple of mins after I posted - sorry I wasn't quick enough :P

Thanks!
