If you create an empty file with no file extension (on your desktop for
example), then right click it, OSX/Finder offers various app choices to use
to 'Open With..'
A lot of other text and code editors appear in this list (Atom, Visual
Code, Sublime Text), but TextMate does not
It would be very useful if TM would register itself with OSX in the same
way.
I guess there's some way to do this manually, but if so, I haven't found it
yet
Hello,
I'm running TextMate version 2.0-rc.27.
It seems that I'm no longer able to edit files that are not owned by
me by using `sudo mate` or plain `mate`.
Steps:
1. Run `sudo mate /etc/hosts`
2. Enter my username and password in the terminal
3. Make a change
4. Save the file
Expected: The file is saved with the new contents
Actual: an error modal is show with the following contents:
Title: The document “hosts” could not be saved.
Body: Failed replacing hosts with
/var/folders/w8/0pc0dw1d4zd9knf_qm4ls1bc0000gn/T/TemporaryItems/(A
Document Being Saved By TextMate)/hosts: You don’t have permission to
save the file “hosts” in the folder “etc”.
So far I have tried:
- Granting "Full Disk Access" to TextMate in System Preferences ->
Security & Privacy -> Privacy
- Uninstalling and reinstalling `mate`
Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide.
Thanks!
Hello list,
when opening (existing) files from Terminal.app using the `mate` command, it occasionally (but not always) takes a fairly long time (more than 5secs) to open the file in TextMate. TM in all these instances is already running, but doesn't necessarily have any open windows.
This is for small files (e.g. 30 short lines of code), so it cannot be the file size making a difference. If I open the files directly through TM's File -> Open... menu, no such delay happens.
During such a delay, if I click on the already running TM in the dock to activate it, the desired document that `mate` is trying to open immediately appears.
If I close the document and retry immediately afterwards, then no delay seems to exist for a while. Swap also doesn't seem to be an issue, my swapfile has size 0 on a 32GB Macbook Pro, with 16GB free. If TM hasn't been activated in a while (even though supposedly running according to the Dock dot) then this seems more likely.
It seems to be the communication / connecting between mate and TM that causes this delay somehow. I've tried removing and reinstalling the `mate` command.
This is on TextMate version 2.0-rc.10, but is not new behavior, I've seen this for quite some time.
Does that sound familiar to anyone or have any diagnosis tips?
Thanks,
Daniel.
