2.41 on Lion is significantly faster in rendering thumbnail preview. But unfortunately, it also introduced a bug: the toolbar, slideshow timer and mark icon in image view (not fullscreen) are still mission when the main window is closed and reopened in a single session. Quit and relaunch can bring those items back though.

It's 9 years after OS 9 died. Let it go, man.

Here is something more interesting: now you can purchase BBEdit 9.6 from Mac App Store for $39.99, and receive free upgrade when BBEdit 10 is ready for Mac App Store.

Actually I won't mind pay the full price re-purchase for a new version, but I'd really like to know what's exactly changed in this version, and whether it's worthy for $50. But from their press release I didn't notice any significant difference. And that's my biggest concern.

I'm a C++ programmer. And I've switched to Xcode IDE since 4.1. I won't ask an "editor" to provide runtime syntax check, maintain file dependency, or built the whole project for me; but I'd really need Git, quick reference, horizontally divided assistant editor, and project-base auto completion. BBEdit is really a good application, but it's quite out-dated comparing to the modern IDEs. Now the only reason I'm still stick to BBEdit is the Regular-expression based Find and Replace -- while the Xcode's "edit-in-scope" is a disaster.

Barebone, I'd loved BBEdit, but now it's not enough. I'd still purchase version 10 -- on the Mac App Store. And that may be the last time I'd pay for it, for it's lack of modern features a "code editor" should have.

@monoclast:
Thanks for the "cdf" idea. But the script failed to work when the pathname contains white spaces. I've tweaked the script for a work-around:

alias cdf="eval "cd \"\`osascript -e 'tell app \\\"Finder\\\" to return the POSIX path of (target of window 1 as alias)'\`\"""

Adding this line to ~/.bashrc, and every terminal environment could "cdf" to the directory of the frontmost Finder window.

Unsanity, it's too late. I'm now happy with Snow Leopard without haxies. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.
