I really liked when folder names were bold in one of the past betas. Do other people share my point of view ? Setting this with a preference, should this require to go to the terminal and type some "defaults..." thing, would be great. Dominique PERETTI http://www.lachoseinteractive.net

Making sub-shells login shells causes problems in the current beta

by Chris Brierley

Allan, I know you made the change to call bash sub-shells with '--login' in response to people's problems getting their PATHs set straight, but I'd like to make an argument towards putting it back the way it was. Philosophically, it's just not how things are supposed to work with bash. The reason .bash_profile is only called on a login shell, .bashrc is only called on an interactive non-login shell, and BASH_ENV is consulted for non-interactive shells is so that you can separate initialization code for these very different conditions. Practically, since, by default, .bash_profile is only called on a login shell, people use it to put initialization code that should only be run when they log in ... knowing that that's the only time it will run. For example, people output stuff to the screen, they mess with their stty settings to get their keyboard working correctly, etc. People don't typically protect any of that stuff in if statements so that it only runs if there is a tty because ... there should always be one in a login shell. By changing TextMate to use a login shell, it now executes all that cruft in the subshell. Every time I run a command it now inserts into the TextMate buffer all this extra stuff from my .bash_profile that I've sent to the screen, and errors from my trying to run stty without a tty. To combat that, I'm going to have to go through my .bash_profile and surround any of that kind of code with if statements that test if there is a tty or not. So, in trying to make things easier for people (not having to set BASH_ENV in their enviroment) I think this is going to wind up making it harder for people (having to escape code with if statements all through their .bash_profile). I would bet that you'll start to see a lot of problems come in related to this. What are your thoughts? Any chance I can convince you to change your mind on this? Thanks much.

a wiki place for snippets bundles?

by kumar mcmillan

this is a separate note but related to Dominique's message on orphaned wiki pages ... I have twice posted a link to a bundle containing snippets for creating PHP Documentor tags in PHP scripts ... but both times the link has been wiped out. Now the wiki seems to have been reorganized so I am hesitant to repost. Should we have a new page for snippet-related bundles? I'm not sure if maybe people are wiping out my entry because it is not a syntax highlighter bundle. The link is still available here btw : http://farmdev.com/downloads/PHPDoc.tar.gz kumar

disable printing?

by M Spreij

Sorry, but I kinda liked being able to use Cmd-P for my own purposes :-) Is there a way to disable that shortcut (using the current beta)? Regards, Martin

two "BBEdit requests"

by Paul Nordstrom August

Two things I miss from BB: a) Opening/saving directly by FTP/SFTP (not going through Transmit, Interarchy, etc) b) "show invisibles"!!! I know this has been asked for already... I just wasted 10 mins on a file where 2 spaces were emulating a tab; partly my fault (confused about Tab Emulation) but show invisibles would be great... Otherwise I'm loving it. The recent HTML-PHP syntax coloring seems better, or is that my imagination :) I found myself running MySQL queries directly in TM... cool! Just think of the possibilities with a macro :) Paul

I suspect it was deleted out of clumsiness and not any secret standards for what should be on the front page. I think the nature of a wiki is that all the users have to evolve standards for how things should be organized and how people should edit. I personally think nothing should ever be deleted. At worst, it should be put in a separate link or 'refactored' by being summarized. I did the last reorganization because (1) most of the front page was obsolete due to Allan's including them in the distribution and (2) someone had incompetently edited the front page to nuke most of the writing people did. It's possible that in restoring the old writing I accidentally lost some post-nuking changes you made (but I did try to check). best wishes, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

ODB protocol

by Mr. Robert Ullrey

I just joined so I apologize if this is a recurring subject, but I would like to see TextMate become ODB protocol compliant. Specifically, I work with a few other programs like MarsEdit which allow editing of the text in programs like BBEdit or SubEthaEdit. I have talked with a few of the designers including Brett and for TextMate to also be included it needs to include the ODB protocol. Is this possible for a future release? Thanks Robert

[TextMate] workarounds for lack of (s)ftp/external editing support?

by Raena Armitage

All I want for Christmas is world peace, an end to hunger, and for TextMate to either support (s)ftp or be supportive of the external editor thing. As in this: http://www.merzwaren.com/external_editor.html I'd become so reliant on Transmit's ability to open a text file in BBEdit, where I could just sit 'save' and have it upload automatically, that having to do it by hand again is really getting up my nose. For the moment, can anyone recommend a way to get around this lack of support? I still have BBEdit, of course, but I'd rather be using TextMate. I'm not so good with shell scripting so I wouldn't know the first place to start where that's concerned. Can anyone help? Regards, Raena

Re: [TxMt] Orphaned pages in wiki

by Eric Hsu

>Just a quick note to stress that there are more and more orphaned pages >in the wiki http://wiki.macromates.com/textmate/list/ . >People should pay attention to other's links when they edit a page... This is a good suggestion in general. However, that page list isn't working right. The first three links are from the front page. There are wanted pages that aren't listed... I don't know how to fix it, so I'm just ignoring it for now. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

XML bundle

by David Casal

Hey all, Anyone know what happened to the XML bundle? Last I see from the archives, whoever had it in an svn repo said he'd post a tarball, but there's nothing after...then just a message much like this one, asking where it went... Just pining for it, s'all d
