It’s the same reason why you can click on the red control at the top of a Mac application window to close the window but the application still remains running until you quit it.

An active subscription gives you access to all of BBEdit’s advanced features, including any new features that we introduce during updates or major upgrades, for as long as the subscription is in good standing. It effectively fixes the problem that I described in the earlier post for me. To enable BBEdit’s advanced features after the evaluation period is over, you will need to have an active BBEdit subscription. dump” extension, so that BBEdit will definitely recognize them as MySQL dumps automatically and use the appropriate soft wrapping option.Īnd so now I can go back to my preferred default option of soft wrapping to the window width for all documents and not be afraid of BBEdit freezing when I attempt to open a MySQL dump with it. dump” file extension, I have also added an entry in the bottom half of this “ Languages” preference pane that automatically assigns the “ MySQL” language to files with the “.

One is that, while there is a default application-wide setting (for new files) for soft wrapping in BBEdit’s preferences dialog box, there is also a document-specific dialog box with soft wrapping options that can be brought up for each document using the “ Text Options…” command in the “ Edit” menu: And I have found out about a couple of things that can help improve the situation.
