When BBEdit quits unexpectedly, it likes to blindly nag you about disabling Unsanity's Application Enhancer. Of course, the crash may or may not have had anything to do with APE or even BBEdit, and once you've seen this dialog, you certainly don't need to be reminded about it every time you recover from a crash. Unfortunately, there's no option to turn this dialog off, but you can tweak the BBEdit binary so that the APE check will always fail.
- First, crack open the terminal and cd into the BBEdit bundle:
$ cd /Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/
- Back up the existing binary:
$ cp BBEdit BBEdit.bak
- Open the binary with vi in ... well, binary mode:
$ vi -b BBEdit
- Search for the string ape:
/ape [return]
- Replace ape with another three letters of your choice. Be sure to use three letters exactly so that you don't shift the offsets of the rest of the binary file:
xxxixxx
- Write and quit:
[esc] :wq [return]
Now when BBEdit wants to tattle on you for running Application Enhancer, its search for the "com.unsanity.ape" preference file will fail pitifully. You're free to resume your work without BBEdit whining that it's not its fault, leaving you with only the aggravation of having just endured a crash. Let's hope this sets us down the path to lasting peace!
