Hello everybody, just a stupid question after puttering along with the Bundle repository for a while: Is there an easy way of checking out the entire "trunk" to a local directory? And, after checking out individual bundles, is it normal to get messages like > svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/Bundles/!svn/vcc/default' > svn: REPORT of '/svn/Bundles/!svn/vcc/default': 503 unknown method > (http://macromates.com) Thanks in advance, Mark Sapa

BBEdit's implementation is one horizontal split pane, IIRC. Not good enough. Imagine that you have a really large source file. Imagine that you need to make changes to code at top of the file that require interrelated changes to stuff at the bottom, and/or vice versa. Imagine these changes are too complicated to hold all of the details in your head. You don't need this often, but when you do, it's essential. In the past, I've actually used four horizontal split panes working on the same document at once. That was a particularly intricate case, but I would certainly use the functionality if I had it now. Unfortunately, Xcode's pane split UI sucks. MPW did it right (more or less). Chris

Re: Split Panes: who/what/when/where/why (Eric Hsu)

by James Hill

Have to say, got a bit lost on the multi project stuff as I don't really see this as necessary however... I know at lease another 3 or 4 people who are holding back due to the lack of split window functionality (same document or multiple). I have a chap here who is still using JEdit despite the slooow Java based (orrible) interface purely for this feature. TextMate is a cracking app and feels properly "Mac", the think lacking being the slit window functionality... oh and function / class navigation (but that can wait).

Opening large files

by Christian Bogen

I just tried to open the recently published BoingBoing 2000-2005 archive file (about 18 MB in size) in TM and it took 1 minute and 25 seconds (!!) (I actually used a stopp watch when opening it a second time) with a spinning beach ball and the fan on my PB (12" 867 Mhz with 640 MB RAM running 10.3.8) basically going berserk. Is that a beta problem (I'm using b5) or is this behaviour »normal«? (Just for the record: TW opened the same file in less than 10 seconds!) Christian

Cmd key shows shortcut key

by Nednieuws

In BBEdit, pressing the Cmd key in the Find dialog shows all shortcuts. E.g. if I hold the Cmd key down "Replace" will change to "Cmd-R Replace". This way, you don't need the mouse. Would that be possible with TextMate? -- Regards, Charles.

Problems with b5 and services menu / BOM follow-up question

by Christian Bogen

Hi, I'm experiencing some problems with b5 and the Services menu: TextMate doesn't seem to register itself in the menu and the contents of Services > Insert are greyed out when accessed from within TextMate. Any ideas? Known b5 problem? Also I'd like to know if future TM version will let you, as an option, create new UTF-8 files with BOM? (I know it preserves existing BOMs ...) Thanks in advance! Kind regards Christian

multiselect cmd-t window

by Lang Riley

I am lovin' the cmd-T window, very nice. Any possibility it might be multiselect in the future? I often have need to pull up a class and its similarly named unit test class and perhaps a similarly named test fixture. It would be nice to grab them all in one shot, since they typically show up right next to each other in the window. Not a big deal though. -- Best regards, Lang Riley

Most likely your ruby-path is setup in ~/.bash_profile, which is not sourced by TM. A solution that should fix everything path-related: Make a file in your home-dir, say .bash_env and have it contain: source /etc/profile source ~/.bash_profile Then set TM's BASH_ENV variable to: ~/.bash_env That should source all relevant path stuff. A completely different solution is of course to call the script directly: /Users/dc/Documents/txt/scripts/todo2log.rb $TM_FILEPATH ..it needs to be +x of course, for this to work. http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate

[OT] IRC on Macs

by Raymond Brigleb

Greetings, This is a bit off topic... but I'm already composing the email so hey. Anybody recommend a good Mac IRC client? I haven't been on IRC for years, and never since switching to Mac. I've searched a bit but thought maybe someone could make a recommendation since many folks on here seem to discuss this project on IRC (which is my goal as well). Thanks! Raymond
