Bare Bones Software Releases BBEdit 9.3
Significant Enhancements to Projects and Command Line Integration

BEDFORD, Mass. – Nov. 4, 2009 – Bare Bones Software today announced the release and immediate availability of BBEdit® 9.3, a significant update to its professional strength HTML and text editor.

BBEdit 9.3 introduces significant enhancements to the Projects feature that debuted in BBEdit 9.0, including support for adding Finder saved searches to projects, and additional flexibility in handling non-text files, including command-driven support for examining files via QuickLook when running on Mac OS X 10.6.

“BBEdit continues to advance with features that significantly enhance productivity in many areas,” said Rich Siegel, founder and CEO of Bare Bones Software, Inc. “BBEdit 9.3 provides further search interface improvements, adds new ways to manage project content, and meets the command-line wonk’s primal needs with closer integration of BBEdit’s search to the Unix environment.”

In addition, the BBEdit 9.3 update now lets customers create language-specific ctags data files to serve as completion sources. FTP/SFTP browsers now feature a “New” button allowing for the creation of new files and folders directly within the browser window. The clippings system has been enhanced to allow combining clipping sets for easier access when working in mixed-language files. Attached menu scripts are now easier to manage from within BBEdit’s own preferences.

Finally, BBEdit 9.3 introduces a new command-line tool, “bbfind”, which provides access to BBEdit’s legendary multi-file searching from the Unix command line. In this way, BBEdit can function as part of a scripted Unix workflow, if desired.

The BBEdit 9.3 update also includes fixes for reported issues. Detailed information on all of the changes and improvements in BBEdit 9.3 can be found at:
