    I found that you can click on a .php file and choose to open it with CSSEdit, but .php files are greyed out when you try to open them through CSSEdit’s file browser. Still, this has made CSSEdit a lot more flexible.

    I love CSS Edit. I didn’t know about the update, I’m installing it right now. Thanks for the heads up!

    I agree, this is a great update I can use CSSEdit on my flat text CSS EE templates. Great!

    Ah nice!  😊

    This limitation always annoyed me. 

    I’d gotten into the practice of creating symbolic links with .css extensions that pointed to the flat files but now I can just right click.  Especially nice for those cases where I don’t have the ability to create a symbolic link.

    This is simply great. The combination CCEdit+TextMate (with the EE extension) is just so powerful I can’t live without them!

    Sorry to drudge up and old post but here’s a tip:

    If you hold down [command] + [option] when dragging a file onto the dock you can ‘force open’ a file in any application.

    Might speed the process up. I’m sure with some clever terminal work you could set CSSEdit to ‘un-grey’ files in the Open Dialogue - any guru’s about?

    It also used to be the way that you could hold down option whilst selecting open from a file menu and it would show you all files and you could open any of them in any programme. You obviously had to be careful doing this as it would allow you to open any system file or anything you wanted. Never really used it and haven’t checked to see if it still works in Leopard or what not but that’s the way it used to be. You can also (pretty sure you can anyway) use something like Default Folder and that will allow for the same sort of thing.

    Best wishes,

    Mark
