Finally, clippings (aka glossary) is now usable.
Finally, they got rid of the awful childlike 'B' although the new icon is not great.
BUT,
Earlier they had small yet functional icons for stuff like revealing in the finder and locking. (Some misguided souls on this thread insisted that it would be more OS X like to have big cutesy icons). Well, you got em. A 2cm long ugly pencil to lock a file no less, not independently removable (why not?), another huge icon to reveal in the finder (what was wrong with the old small one?), and a switchy icon with a T written on it (ah text preferences - far less elegant looking that then small radio one from before.
The 'Text Status Display' where these are displayed is potentially a very useful and customizable area (see Transmit). Instead it's got a couple of ugly icons, and the text path which you cannot turn off. Either it should be improved or left alone!
These are nitpicking things because otherwise BBEdit remains its former brilliant self.

Good: clippings. Bad: ugly stuff - Bob uses BBEdit
Sure, the icons are bigger, but the toolbar overall is the same size as the previous release.Friday, September 08 2006 @ 08:40 PM PDT

Yeah, the gigantic toolbar that can't be made smaller or changed is a step backwards over the one they had. I don't mind change. I just want small to be an option.Reply to This
