In the list view showing a folder's contents, Refresh only refreshes the top level. The folder contents are not refreshed. To refresh them one has to fold-away and then re-disclose the folder (and this requires "Use directory caching" off). Or double click on the folder to open it (then refresh if directory caching in on). Then return to the parent folder....

Could the Refresh command refresh all open or disclosed folders please?

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.

That's fine, josephj, I have no problem with the Mac guidelines.

What I am asking for is an option that allows the user to choose. Those who use Matlab, or Windows, or type URLs, or are used to command lines will want the Return=action choice I am sure, it is just so natural and efficient.

Cheers.

I often prefer to navigate by keyboard.  Having selected a file by typing part of its name, I would like to be able to download it (for editing) by hitting Return. At present, hitting Return lets one rename the file. Similarly for folders: I wish to be able to hit Return to open the folder, not rename it.  I rename folders/files very rarely, but open folders and download files many many times a day, therefore I find the rename option a nuisance.  I know Mac guidelines are being followed here, whereas hitting Return to open a file is Windows-like -- but sometimes Windows has the right idea! Having to reach for the mouse to double-click is a pain.

OK there are keyboard equivalents (Cmd-E for edit and Cmd-downarrow to open a folder) but it is a pain to have to think "which one do I want now?" because if I get it the wrong way round then trouble. Also, Cmd-E is non-standard.

There must be other users who would like this use of Return. For anyone used to command lines (or Windows) it is natural to hit Return for "action". Even typing an address in a browser: you hit Return for a response.

Would it be possible to have a toggle between the two systems, so the user can chose? On the rare occasions when I need to rename several files I could then switch to the current system, do the renaming, and then switch back. Heaven!  Adding such a toggle would involve a very minor programme change: just a new preference entry and change a couple of lines of keyboard code.

Anyone else think this a good idea?

Thanks
