On the user list I had this exchange with Allan:

Which is is cool. I've actually got a working version of this right  
now (with a hacky hard-coded path to the script in markdown.tmbundle/ 
Support/bin), and it's very neat.

Currently, though my implementation steps on an existing drop command  
(the one that creates an anchor to the dropped file), since both act  
on .html files.

I don't actually find that anchor-creating drop command useful. It  
inserts a tag with the full path to a local file, which at a minimum  
I need to manually edit to remove all the local path components (I'm  
presuming that the primary use of Markdown text that includes links  
is for use on servers, not local machines.) There's no conflict with  
the img drop command.

So my question is: 1) would it be bad to remove that drop command and/ 
or 2) am I missing any other way to offer both these features?

Also, I encountered what I think might be a svn bug when I tried to  
fix the capitalization on the bundle:

     $ svn mv markdown.tmbundle Markdown.tmbundle
     svn: Working copy 'Markdown.tmbundle' is missing or not locked

If it's my stupid mistake, what did I do? If it's a bug, does anybody  
know a workaround?

thanks
