File Calumnies ★: Andrew Pontious:

Here’s a demonstration for you. Open TextEdit and save a file to the desktop. Go to the desktop and move the file somewhere else. Then go back to TextEdit, modify the file, and save it again.

Presto! New file on the desktop.

Do the same thing in BBEdit. No new file appears on the desktop. Instead, the changes are made to the moved file.

Now, some of you are saying, “Ah ha, bug in TextEdit!” Others of you are saying, “Ah, ha, weird behavior in BBEdit!”
