Hi all, I am having a problem getting started with tm_dialog. I followed the instructions (intro_to_tm_dialog.mov -- http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2006/10/28/new-dialog-system-for-commands/ ) but the first error I found was this: > tm_dialog /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/tm_dialog: line 5: /bin/tm_dialog_v5: No such file or directory ( In this 20 seconds I learned the ctrl-R - whoa KICK BUTT!! -- but sadly `which tm_dialog` didn't work (strange tm_dialog worked)..) The script was easy so I just will use tm_dialog_v5, but then the following error occurred. Upon simply creating an empty nib and attempting to use tm_dialog with it I get the following error: > tm_dialog_v5 ~/Desktop/test.nib tm_dialog: you have updated the Dialog plug-in to v8 but the tm_dialog tool is still at v5 Since the movie ended abruptly I figured someone has a working example buried in the TM application. I dug into the SharedBundles and started looking around hoping to find a completion to the movie - or a bunch of people who have created some nibs. I only found 10. (Uh-oh) Doing some digging I can't seem to find any code which calls a nib other than the subversion example but I don't understand how that works - it doesn't appear to actually call it (i.e It doesn't ever seem to do a tm_dialog??) So I am left with a bunch of questions I hope you experts can help me with. 1. How can I get tm_dialog v8 or how do I get this to work as is? 2. Can someone give me a crude example of how to call a nib from a bundle command and use it's output? 3. When creating a nib I want to get a password from a user - how do I obfuscate the input? 4. How can I store that password so I can use it in other functions within the bundle? 5. There was mention of a python property list parser - does anyone know how this works with tm_dialog (example would be great), where it is and how to use it?
