After the BBEdit 9.2.1 Upgrade, Command-Q can finally be assigned to “Sleep BBEdit”. A great new-added feature becomes even better.
FastScript 2.4
June 23rd, 2009Tags: fastscript | Posted in Application | No Comments »
From Daniel Jalku:
I have been thinking for some time of eliminating FastScripts Lite. Customers found it confusing to differentiate between the versions, and I found it tedious to artificially maintain two versions. With the new, liberal evaluation terms in FastScripts 2.4, all of the old Lite functionality and much more is now included for free in the full version.
Great chance to try FastScript if you hadn’t yet. I used to use FastScript Lite to run AppleScript by keyboard shortcuts, assign same shortcuts to different applications. Really a handy tool when you need it.
Growl 1.1.5

A new release of Growl the great system-wide notifier. But perhaps there’s a new bug:
A handful of growl styles was installed in my system, but when I was trying to set a style for Bowtie, it showed me only the a few of them.
News About TextMate 2
June 14th, 2009Tags: textmate | Posted in Application | No Comments »
Finally Allan Odgaard posted a new blog about the current state of TextMate 2.
So where does development stand for 2.0? It feels to me like most of the
modules are getting close, say 90%. But as they say, on the horizon,
mountains look small.The requests for TextMate 1 have mostly been incremental additions such
as split views, chunked undo, and editing over SFTP. But TextMate 2 is
about more than new surface features. Every part has been completely
rewritten to take advantage of the lessons learned from the years of
version 1. Not only are the low-level data structures chosen for
increased flexibility, but the abstractions on which TextMate is
built—snippets, scope-based language grammars, context-dependent
settings—have been rethought and are more powerful than ever. In the
coming months, I’ll try to describe some of these new abstractions, but
for now, know that I am excited about the new ideas involved.
Sounds great. After many years of hearing “TextMate 2 is still under development” I was afraid that TextMate 2 would become the new Duke Nukem Forever. Glade] to here it’s still alive. I really hope they’ve already found a better solution to handle CJK characters since that’s the main reason I switched to BBEdit a few months ago. (And I’m happy with BBEdit right now, solid and sound.)
I have enlisted a technical writer to help bring this blog back to life,
and I’ll try to communicate more of TextMate’s status and direction
through him.
Hopes we can hear more about the progress from him, I’m pretty curious about how TextMate 2 will looks like. And hopefully we can see a Alpha build months later?
Keep up the good work, Allan! (And please post more news about TextMate 2…)
ExpanDrive 2.0.2
May 29th, 2009Tags: expandrive | Posted in Application | No Comments »
New version of ExpanDrive fixed bugs and supports a wider range of FTP servers:
ExpanDrive v2.0.2 is out with a few major bug fixes. We strongly recommend the upgrade.
My favorite thing about ExpanDrive is you can just treat your SFTP/FTP sites as a driver or a folder, and it works.
ssh-askpass on Mac OS X
January 16th, 2009Tags: bbedit, Mac, ssh-askpass, subversion | Posted in Application, Code | 4 Comments »
Got a lot of errors like:
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/local/libexec/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
while I was using subversion in BBEdit trying to update my working copy.
Well, actually I don’t have ssh-askpass in that path, and I don’t know here I can get it. But lately I found I successfully update my working copy using Versions or Cornerstone. BTW they are all good applications with great UI. So I digged into Cornerstone’s content folder and found that it has a helper application inside called “SSHAskPass”. How wonderful~! Immedially I created a symbolic link using ln -s /Applications/Cornerstone.app/Contents/Helpers/SSHAskPass.app/Contents/MacOS/ssh-askpass ssh-askpass in /usr/libexec.
Works perfect in BBEdit now.
