I get the error below when I try to run a command lookup (control-
shift-option L) in Markdown mode. I never did a Plugins checkout
(and don't know how to do so). What's the best way to fix this?
Thanks,

tm_dialog: you have updated the tm_dialog tool to v6 but the Dialog
plug-in running is still at v4.
tm_dialog: either checkout the PlugIns folder from the repository or
remove your checkout of the Support folder.
tm_dialog: if you did checkout the PlugIns folder, you need to
relaunch TextMate to load the new plug-in.

Hello all,
Let me explain my use-case first. One of my projects uses code from an open source group, and I have this code in the same TM project as my group's own code. This works great, except when I run the TODO bundle. TODO picks up all the notes from the open source group, stuff really not relevant to my particular work - I just want to see notes for my group's code. You could use this to skip over log files/folders too, or whatever else you wanted in your TM project but not looked at by TODO.
To accomplish this goal I modified the TODO bundle to skip over files whose path matches a TODO_IGNORE_PATTERN grep.
The patch is attached, I hope this is useful to other people (and/or makes it into the todo bundle in subversion ;) )
Hope this helps,
_Ryan Wilcox

I just started looking more into the SQL bundle and using it to
execute the statements I'm creating but I keep getting an error in
the results display saying that it can't find mysql — and it, of
course, lists all the places it looked.
Is it possible to set the mysql path in the shell variables or is
there something else I have to do so TM can find my mysql?
Thanks,

Hallo,
I've got a file with a LOT of lines that match the following regular
expression:
([0-9]+);([^;]+);([0-9]+);([0-9.]+);\n
But within that file there are a few lines that don't match (in
various ways) and I've got to find those lines. Is there a way to
tell TextMate: "Find everything that DOESN'T match the given regular
expression"?
Kind regards,
Tobias Jung
Hi!
I just wanted to start using GTDalt but the iCal-sync just gives the
message that it will take a while and ends w/out any errors after a
few seconds. In iCal is now one additional calendar called GTDalt and
that's it, not one for each context specified in TM_GTD_CONTEXTS.
Does anyone have an idea how I can hunt down the failure or what I'm
doing wrong?

Hello list,
I thought I'd like to work through some
screencasts today. I was interested in
tm_dialog with the Interface Builder.
Now there are some problems in my environment.
First there was a problem that I use version 5
and I should have used version 6.
I've copied the tm_dialog from /Library/Application Support/...
into the Textmate.app/...
When I call tm_dialog test.nib/ with an very early version
out of the screencast it doesn't show an empty window?!
Could someone give me a hint?
Thanks.
Regards

Within a snippet, I am trying to prefix the $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY
to a file name in applescript (but I am not sure how TM environment
variables & files are concatenated into the applescript world?).
In essence, the file textmatetostata.do is created (from
textmate) by default in the $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY. The problem is
that when stata activates it cannot find it - since it opens in a
different directory by default.
What I am trying to do is as below: (but this is failing!)
query=${TM_SELECTED_TEXT:-$TM_CURRENT_LINE}
echo "$query" > textmatetostata.do
osascript -e "tell application \"Stata\"
activate
open POSIX file {$TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY} & \"textmatetostata.do\"
end tell"
- thanks

I've found a problem with the syntax highlighting in the LaTeX bundle.
I use the Cobalt theme, and normally the argument of a citation
command such as `\citeauthor` appears in purple. However, I have the
following line in a document I am writing:
\section{\citeauthor{kager:1999}'s analysis}
The arguments to section commands normally show up gold-colored for
me, and "analysis" appropriately does so here. However, the
`kager:1999` part also does, which I believe is incorrect since it is
not part of the actual section title but rather a bibliography keyword
and thus should be purple.
Not a huge problem, but I wanted to point it out. I would fix it if I
had time to learn TextMate's grammar system -- as I said, I'm
currently writing a paper. :-)
OK, I seem to have answered my own question :-). In case it helps
anyone else, here are the steps I needed to take to get the Blogging
Bundle working with ExpressionEngine (1.5.1).
There are two problems with using the Blogging bundle with EE. The
first is that the blog id is not in the same format in the endpoint
URL as standard metaweblog endpoint urls. It looks something like
this:
http://mydomain.com/pathtoEE/index.php?ACT=25&id=1, where id=x is the blog id.
The second is that the date format returned by XMLRPC isn't parsed
properly by the the ruby parser.rb (I'm using ruby 1.8.4), because it
has a Z on the end of the time string. So, to fix it, make the
following changes:
1. Edit /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/parser.rb (the path may be different
depending on where you installed Ruby), line 87 to read:
if str =~ /^(-?\d\d\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d)T(\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d)Z?$/ then
Note the extra Z? near the end of the regular expression.
2. blogging.rb, line 167 onwards:
if @endpoint =~ /#(.+)/
@blog_id = $1
elsif @endpoint =~ /&id=(.+)/ # EE format of blog id in endpoint
@blog_id = $1
else
@blog_id = "0"
end
That seems to do the trick for me. It would be sensible to copy the
Blogging bundle and save the new one under a new name, and with a new
UUID in info.plist, I guess.
Hope that helps anyone else using EE.

Hello,
My first enthusiasm got an immediate stopper. After switching the
language environment to English and installing the newest version of
R (2.40), I was able to calculate 100^2 using the R bundle command R
> Console > Execute Selection. Here is the result:
100^2
[1] 0
>
Now, I wanted to do the following calculation 1/1e-1 and thats the
answer:
1/1e-1
Fehler: syntax error
>
Of course the same calculation leads to the correct result when done
in the R console. Does anybody on this list have an idea what
happened here? - Obviously I have not entirely got rid of the German
localization in R. But is this likely the problem? Now it appears to
be an error message generated by R rather than by AppleScript or
whatsoever. I am lost.
May be, I need to trash R entirely, which I thought I had. Or is
there an alternative way to go (without R). Which bundle should I
look up if I wanted to write my own bundle for doing very simple math
(I don't know anything about ruby etc)?

I recently sent an email to the MacTeX mailing list, in response to
someone's question about what each editor for LateX has going for
them. It is a long post talking about some of the major things in the
bundle, so I thought it might be of interest/useful to some people in
this list. Appended:
Haris
A lot of these things are documented in many places, so to begin with
I will add some links to resources, and then will talk about some of
the things it can do well, IMHO.
1. First and foremost, there are a number of screencasts I've done,
along with blog posts, a lot of them on the LaTeX bundle. They are here:
http://skiadas.dcostanet.net/afterthought/list-of-my-textmate-pages/
Also see here for more TextMate screencasts: http://macromates.com/
screencasts
2. The online TextMate manual is a key resource of information. There
you can learn about:
1. snippets (http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/
snippets#snippets). These are easy to create yourself for common
repeatable code (and so much more).
2. project navigation (http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/
working_with_multiple_files#moving_between_files_with_grace)
3. Find and Replace in multiple files (option regexp included)
(http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/
working_with_multiple_files#find_and_replace_in_projects)
4. Navigating within a single file (http://macromates.com/textmate/
manual/navigation_overview#navigation_overview)
5. Moving text (http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/
working_with_text#moving_text)
6. Setting up your preferred color arrangement via themes: (http://
macromates.com/textmate/manual/themes#themes)
Now I'll talk about the LaTeX-specific commands in TextMate. I will
not refer to their shortcuts, because you can set these to whatever
you like, though they do have some reasonable defaults. You can see
these commands using ctrl-esc and navigating into the LaTeX bundle.
The help file for the bundle is here, in markdown format: (http://
macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/Latex.tmbundle/Support/
help.markdown). From within TextMate this can be accessed through the
Bundle's help command.
Hm, perhaps I should explain what Bundles are very briefly. There is
a core TextMate program, which offers the ability to extend it by
creating Bundles, which are collections of rules, commands and
preferences on how TextMate should act in particular languages. In
some sense a lot of the power of TextMate is in these bundles. The
bundles have a very open license (http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/
trunk/LICENSE), and are being maintained by a large group of
volunteers. The list of languages supported is quite extensive
(http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/). The success of
TextMate is largely due to this power it provides to the bundle. It
is easy for people to add functionality to TextMate, in a similar way
as one would add functionality to emacs or vi, with the difference
that it is a lot easier for "newbies" to add functionality.
Ok, on to the bundle then. First of all, you don't need any
customizing to begin with. Dragging a LaTeX document onto the
TextMate icon should just open it with TextMate and set you to LaTeX
mode. To start a new document, you can use the Templates found under
the file menu, or you can start from a scratch file. The moment you
save the file with extension .tex, TextMate will recognize it as a
LaTeX file and color it accordingly.
1. Now first of all, creating environments. TextMate has a command
called "Insert Environment Based On Current Word", triggered by
command-{ (which is command-shift-[ in US keyboards, (command
key=apple key)). You can even use this without a word and it will
offer you a list of environments to insert. If you type in a word
first, then TM creates an environment based on this word. For
instance, typing "en" or "enum" and then the command trigger (cmd-{)
will insert:
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\end{enumerate}
and place the caret right after the \item thing. When you are done
with the first item, pressing Enter (fn-return on laptops) inserts a
newline and a new \item entry. Similar behavior for "it", "item" for
itemize etc. You can further customize this list to your heart's
content by using the "Edit Configuration File" command in the LaTeX
Bundle. For me a typical workflow these days is using the exam class.
The "words" "q", "p" and "sol", followed by command-{, produce the
"questions", "parts" and "solution" environments respectively.
2. There is a similar command for inserting common commands, called
"Insert Command Based On Current Word". This is triggered by
command-}, and functions in a similar way. for instance "l" becomes
"\lim_{}" with the caret inside the braces. Once you are done adding
things there, pressing tab takes you out of the braces.
3. The LaTeX bundle offers context-sensitive completion, via the
common "esc" key. For instance, when typing a command, it will
complete only with respect to commands, and not every word in the
text. It will use any commands you have introduced before, as well as
a stock list of commands. For instance typing "\dis" and pressing
escape converts it to "\displaystyle". Typing "\di" and pressing
escape multiple times cycles through all commands starting with \di.
On the other hand, if you are inside a \ref{}, then it completes with
respect to all keys found in \label{} commands within the current
document or any tex file included in your "root document" (called
master document in TM). Similarly, inside a \cite{} it will offer
completion with respect to all bibliography keys in your bib file and/
or any \bibitem's in your document. Also, option-esc will offer you a
popup of all completion matches, similar to the BibDesk completion
plugin that BibDesk offers (though I think that plugin is a lot
closer to XCode style completion, anyway...).
4. Image drag and drop. You can drag and drop any image into the
text, and an appropriate figure environment will be created, with the
accompanying \includegraphics command. By pressing modifier keys,
option or shift in this instance, you can adjust whether you want the
entire figure environment, or just a simple \begin{center}
\includegraphics...\end{center} thing, or the \includegraphics by
itself. And these can to some extend be customized.
5. Table conversion. You can create a table by first typing the
entries into rows, with columns separated by tabs, like so:
one two three
four five six
and select it and run a command, and it will become:
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\hline
one & two & three\\
\hline
four & five & six\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
Similarly, you can create a new table with a prescribed number of
rows and columns.
6. Wrapping things. You can tell TextMate to wrap the current
selection in a command. Suppose for instance you just typed the
sentence "foo bar" and what to higlight it, so to include it in
\emph. In TextMate, you would select it by pressing opt-left arrow
twice, and then press ctrl-shift-w. This results in:
"\emph{foo bar}" with the emph selected, so that you can type another
command in its place. Pressing tab instead moves you past the
closing }. There is a similar functionality for wrapping the
selection in a begin-end environment pair.
7. Changing environments. Suppose you are inside a split environment,
and decide to change it to aligned. In TM, you would press ctrl-
option-E, and then just type in the environment name, and both \begin
and \end entries get fixed. Similarly, there is a command to toggle
the presence of a * in the environment, like turning {equation} to
{equation*} and back.
8. Project Outline command. I recently added this command. It offers
you an HTML, clickable outline of your project, much like a table of
contents. Clicking on any section title takes you to the
corresponding section.
9. Special Beamer setting. You can set the language grammar to LaTeX
Beamer, which causes some commands to have particular behavior
related to beamer. For instance, the commands inserting a new \item
also add an overlay specification to it.
10. You can quickly turn a list of of lines into an itemize or
enumerate environment, by selecting them and running the command ctrl-
shift-L.
11. This is a general feature of TextMate that I found worth
mentioning, it's very useful. It has a columnar editing mode, where
you can for instance select a bunch of lines and add the same text at
the beginning of each line. For instance with the three lines:
foo
bar
baz
we could move the caret at the beginning of the first line, then
shift-down twice, and then press option for columnar insertion. Now
typing "\item " adds it to all three lines.
Ok, this is probably enough for now, but I would be happy to answer
any other questions you have about TextMate. And you can usually find
me in the irc channel, (irc://irc.freenode.net/#textmate). It is
populated almost all the time by extremely helpful and great people
(I would in fact say it is one of the great things TM has going for it).

Soryu, I looked at it earlier and thought it was only for BBedit and

I do not think this will thread properly, so I changed my setting

In C++ mode, what is the correct method to modify
tmthemes such that function declarations written like :
TF Funk(T1 arg1, T2 arg2)
...and...
TF Funk(
T1 arg1,
T2 arg2,)
...or...
TF
Funk(
T1 arg1,
T2 arg2,)
..are rendered identically? or is that even possible?
(TF above is the function return type, possibly more than one
word to include a storage type. T1/T2 above are argument types,
again maybe augmented by an additional word(s) like const or
default assignments).
TIA,
-Shin
(This is my first time contributing, so please be gentle.)
I've found a problem (annoyance?) with the way that the `Typeset &
View (PDF)` command works in the LaTeX bundle. I set
`TM_LATEX_COMPILER` to `latexmk.pl` so that I don't have to deal with
manually running BibTeX and all that, but I also use packages that
depend on PSTricks and thus don't work with pdfLaTeX.
The problem is that while the command normally looks for the presence
of `\usepackage{pstricks}` and then automatically uses `latex` instead
of `pdflatex` for typesetting if appropriate, this does not happen if
the compiler is set to `latexmk.pl`, since the rc file passed to the
latter says to use `pdflatex`.
I've attached a quick and dirty patch to tell `latexmk.pl` to typeset
to PostScript first if PSTricks is detected, which fixes the problem.
The patch also contains a modification to the PSTricks detection part
to add a search for the following packages which depend on it:
* [xyling] [1]
* [pst-asr] [2]
* [OTtablx] [3]
These are packages that I personally frequently use, and it's annoying
to have to manually do a `\usepackage{pstricks}` just for the sake of
telling TextMate it's being used. There's probably a better way to
detect if *any* package uses PSTricks, but it would be cool if this
could be committed for now. Feel free to consider that a completely
selfish request, though maybe there are a few other linguists who
would appreciate it. :-)

well, I'm glad to see thomas tackle bundleforge ;)
IMO, the most important thing actually is allowing for easy sharing of a
bundle and quick updating of the installed bundles -- ideally just a couple of
mouse clicks. easy bundle setup is trivial, and the rest is if secondary
importance: the focus of the server-side development should thus be on sharing
and updating.
then of course you need to take care of the UI, but I'm sure you know better
than me how to handle that! ;)
three good reasons:
* the GetBundle bundle is a solid foundation;
* in the community there is no shortage of server-side programming skills
and, most of all
* we have ten (10!) weeks without an official release, so that we can tinker
with BundleForge!
so... why don't we start doing something? :P if there's any amount of python
code involved, I'm ready to help!
Hello,
I am a plain textmate user and a complete computer/programming illiterate who
searches advice and input from other, potentially more experienced users of
textmate. When writing latex based papers using the wonderful latex bundle I
frequently want to do a quick and simple calculation. Unfortunately, this often
involves other formats than those provided by the existing math bundle and I
have to invoke an external calculator. Would it be possible to extend the math
bundle to normal calculator capabilities? IE providing
exponential/logarhithmic,
power function, trigonometric functions, numbers in ecponential notation
etc. ?
I don't know whether others miss this feature. I would certainly welcome
such extended functionality or some experienced guidance how to achieve the same
functionality with existing bundles. Using the R bundle I tried to send commands
to R, which I found very slow (and not what I would find useful), and also to
execute R on the selection, but only to the effect of receiving an error
message.

I am the maintainer of the C Library Bundle. I have removed it from
the repository until a better solution can be found. I apologize for
the trouble I have caused, I was unaware of the current practice of
discussing new bundle before adding them to the main repository and
committed my changes without thinking. It was not my intention to
offend any part of this excellent community.
My heartfelt gratitude to those of you who defended me on this list.
I hope that the C Library bundle (or a better replacement) can be
made available to those who may find it useful. If any of you would
like a copy, please contact me and I will make it available (probably
on my .Mac account).
Sincerely,
Steph
