The SFTP browser, in my experience, doesn't time out unless the server tells it to. I've opened a connection to a server, worked for a bit, walked away for hours, come back, and the connection is still alive. So if BBEdit is forced to reconnect every five minutes, then anything else that connects to your server probably is too -- it might just be that you're noticing with BBEdit, while perhaps Interarchy does it silently.
Actually, it isn't just the server -- after I ran the 'secret' timeout increase command that I found documented in the "Secret Preferences" help file, it was no longer forcing me to reconnect so frequently any more.
And you probably don't want it to. Even if you turn on the secret preference to show temp files in the Open Recent menu, it's going to...well, it's going to do exactly that, open the temp files. When you open a file in BBEdit from Interarchy, it creates a temporary version of that file on your local drive, and so the item in the Open Recent menu would point to the temp file on your hard drive, not the original on your remote server.
Why isn't it able to point to the original on the remote server? I just don't understand that. All I want is for it to point to that (not to the temp file on my hard drive).
The way around this is to create your file group by opening all the files with BBEdit's S/FTP, and dragging them into the group. Then saving works the same way on your end as it would have with Interarchy -- just command-S, and it saves your file to the remote server.
Yes, that is what I had been doing prior to switching to Interarchy. I suppose I will have to go back to doing it that way.
