Additions/Changes
- "Open Selection" via the contextual menu for folders in a project window's sidebar will open a new instaproject window for each selected folder, even if one is already open.
Fixes
Made a change to reduce the amount of time required to start a multi-file search when one or more data sources was a collection of discrete files (such as a project, Xcode or otherwise).
Made a change to prevent a crash which could occur when saving a document opened via the built-in FTP/SFTP support, after the connection had previously been closed.
Fixed a pair of bugs that conspired to cause a crash, after following a fairly convoluted process that involved opening a document from an FTP/SFTP browser window and subsequently using "Save [a Copy] to FTP/SFTP Server" on the same server.
Fixed bug in connection management in the "Save to FTP/SFTP" panel which would cause the panel to connect to the wrong server when disconnecting from one server and reconnecting to a different server.
Fixed bug in which using the "Find Selected Text in
" menu command would report a -1708 error when the previously selected set of search sources consisted solely of "Open Editing Windows" or a subordinate window. Added
NS_OPTIONSto the keyword lists for Objective-{C,C++}.Fixed bug in which Unicode characters which could not be mapped to Mac Roman were not always correctly reported when trying to save a file in that encoding. (And in cases where they weren't reported, they were usually mismapped.)
Fixed bug in which dragging text from another application without holding the Option key down would, at the originating application's sole discretion, delete the text in the original.
Fixed bug in which the application did not correctly reopen previously open documents in cases where it was unable to restore a Sleep State file saved by a previous normal quit, but a Saved Application State file did exist.
Made a change to handle mis-encoded results from
perldocwhen using "Find in Reference".
