What's new:

• The text views in browsing windows (disk browsers, search results, P4 opened, and similar) are now editable; rather than having to open a file into a new window from such a browser, you can just edit it right in the window.
• There is a new command on the Window menu: Show Scratchpad
• The Scratchpad window’s purpose is to be a space where you can manipulate text by performing transforms, manual edits, or batches of copy/paste.
• It is ideal for quickly beating text from one source into submission before pasting it elsewhere.
• The Scratchpad window automatically saves its content and state, eliminating those pesky “Save Untitled 237?” warnings when closing a window, or quitting BBEdit.
• The Scratchpad is also available from BBEdit’s dock menu.
• Finally, there is a new item on BBEdit’s Services menu: Append Selection to Scratchpad. This command will take the selected text, and place it at the end of the scratchpad, attempting to preserve any selection that was previously present. The Scratchpad window does NOT need to be open to use this command.
• Any text appended in this fashion will be present the next time the window is opened.
• Added a missing Migration command (change column) to the clipping set for Ruby/Rails.
• Added “Save as Styled Text” to the File menu, and “Copy as Styled Text” to the Edit menu. These function similarly to their HTML analogs, but the Save variant saves an RTF file, and the Copy variant copies styled text (which is more easily shared with other applications).
• Added “Multi-File Search” command to the Find menu. This unconditionally opens the Find dialog with the “Multi-File Search” option turned on.
• There is a new command on the File menu: “Reload from Disk”. This command will examine the file on disk, and if it’s different, reload the front document’s contents from the file on disk. This is useful in situations where the file may have changed without BBEdit noticing, which will be the case if “Automatically refresh documents” is turned off in the Application preferences, or in the case of a document on a shared disk that gets modified by another workstation.
• When running on Mac OS X 10.5 or later, the “Colors” command is available on the Windows -> Palettes menu. This command shows and hides the system color panel.
