I would like to see a couple of preferences show up in the Tiger version. - Abide RW permissions on files - Open files by default Read-Only The first one is so if a file is read only (like under revision control) this is preserved. The second one so if managers like to review code they don't mess up developers code. --- Steven M.

That's definitely another way to do it... but I don't think it's better. Since textmate jumps me to the line while showing me the whole docco, I have a lot more freedom to explore the context. I can even execute finds in the docco I'm looking at, while preserving the results of the find in the project. Plus, I get highlighting and folding (as mentioned by Andy). Grep (and doxygen) are definitely powerful for what they do, but what they do is filter out matches. I don't necessarily want the filter, I just want the find. I personally don't have any problems with not making edits, but I wanted to back up the original poster that Textmate is a great browse- only tool. ______________________________________________________________________ For new threads USE THIS: textmate@lists.macromates.com (threading gets destroyed and the universe will collapse if you don't) http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate </tt>
