Just a couple quick commands for the blogging bundle that use an applescript to insert the current iTunes track or album into your post. I figured if Ecto could do it... TM better be able to. If you're not sure where to stick the script (/Library... ~/ Library... Pristine Copy, etc.) just drag the "Determine Script Location" command to the bundle that you want the commands in (i.e. the Blogging Bundle) and run it. Brett

GLTalt Dialog error

by Lawrence Goodman

Well, I thought I had it all set up right. I came in this morning and when I hit shift+2, I get this error: tm_dialog: server version at v5, this tool at v4 (they need to match) /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/dialog.rb:19:in `load': Cannot parse a NULL or zero-length data (PropertyListError) from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/dialog.rb:19:in `menu' from /tmp/temp_textmate.V1zbOv:5 My dialog plugin and gtdalt bundle are all up to date. The dialog bundle lives in Application Support--->Textmate-->PlugIns. Anyone know what is going on?

strange behaviour with linefeeds/spaces/carriage returns

by Sam Aaron

Hi there, I had this hideous bug in on of my rjs templates. The bug was in this line: page[:login].visual_effect :blind_down now, most of you (who know rjs) will think that's a perfectly good line. However, there is a bug in it. That line gets converted to this javascript: $("login").visualEffect ("blind_down"); It turns out that the character between the .visual_effect and the :blind_down is *not* a standard space. It's some sort of carriage return/line feed which is displayed as a space in TextMate (and Mail it seems too). Now, not wanting to spark up any editor wars or anything, but BBEdit displays the lines like this: page[:login].visual_effect :blind_down $("login").visualEffect ("blind_down"); so it's now obvious where the bug is... and why my div wasn't blinding down ;-) Is there any way I can get TextMate to alert me to the fact that this character *isn't* a space? And therefore stop this hair-pulling bug from happening again :-) SAm

LaTeX bundle really slow

by Emmanuel Turquin

Hi, Editing a LaTeX file seems particularly slow on my powerbook, even for a relatively small file (a mere 200 lines). Every time I enter a new character, the editor freezes for like 1/10 of a second... Has anybody experienced the same kind of pb? Regards, Emmanuel

Ruby Version?

by Eric Knapp

Hi all, When I run this in TextMate with the Execute and Update command I get this: RUBY_VERSION # => "1.8.2" But, when I use irb in a terminal window I get this: irb(main):001:0> RUBY_VERSION => "1.8.4" Why aren't they the same? I am reading the Pragmatic TextMate book and it shows 1.8.4 inside of TextMate. Thanks, -Eric

errant rubymate output when dealing with threads

by jeanpierre＠gmail.com

i am seeing some strange rubymate output when working with threads - at times text is not printed on separate lines (when using puts rather than print) and at others, the text is not printed at all. any suggestions to resolve the rubymate behavior or pointers to where i could? regards, jean-pierre sample 1: mate = Thread.new do puts "Ahoy! Can I be dropping the anchor sir?" Thread.stop puts "Aye sir, dropping anchor!" end Thread.pass puts "CAPTAIN: Aye, laddy!" mate.run mate.join output from rubymate: Ahoy! Can I be dropping the anchor sir?CAPTAIN: Aye, laddy! Aye sir, dropping anchor! expected output: Ahoy! Can I be dropping the anchor sir? CAPTAIN: Aye, laddy! Aye sir, dropping anchor! sample 2: homicide = Thread.new do while true puts "Don't kill me!" Thread.pass end end suicide = Thread.new do puts "This is all meaningless!" Thread.exit end Thread.kill(homicide) output from rubymate: <nothing> expected output: Don't kill me! This is all meaningless! Don't kill me!

Bugs in LaTeX highlighting

by Trevor Harmon

I'm using the current (as of a few minutes ago) Subversion repository for TextMate bundles, and I'm having a problem with the LaTeX mode's highlighting. The problem is with the "lstlisting" environment (and possibly others). With the default Mac Classic theme, this environment is supposed to have a light blue background. However, while writing a recent paper, the highlighting often did not work the way it's supposed to. To demonstrate the problem, I've attached three LaTeX files. The rightway.tex file shows how the highlighting is supposed to be; the wrongway1.tex and wrongway2.tex files show incorrect highlighting. Is there a simple fix for these problems? Thanks, Trevor P.S. Although the rightway.tex file highlights the environment in blue as it should, it also changes the word "is" to bold. Why does it do this?

Backpack Interface

by Brett Terpstra

http://blog.circlesixdesign.com/2006/11/19/textmate-backpack- interface-pre-release/ I've posted the initial version of the Backpack (http:// www.backpackit.com) bundle on my blog. It's got the following commands with dialogs: Create Reminder Quick Destroy Reminder Quick Edit Reminder Destroy Multiple Reminders List Reminders by Date Add as Note View/Edit Notes Change Backpack Account It has rough Keychain access support that works pretty well. It is, at this point, a demonstration of what we could do. It could be integrated in a lot of ways with a few other bundles. Right now I'm using it to quickly post reminders that will be sent to my cell phone, and client notes from documents that I'm working on. I can log in and work through a tree view of all my notes on all my pages and even edit them from the same interface. This bundle works great with the free version of Backpack. There are a couple of commands I left out. Some of the text based commands have the possibility of sending malformed dates which will break your Backpack page. 3 Backpack accounts later, I think I've got the bugs worked out, but I'm not ready to risk anyone else's pages yet. Also, a couple of gem-dependent commands... like one that uses Chronic (human readable dates - i.e. Next Tuesday at 5pm) for reminder entry. If you try this out, please let me know if you run into bugs and problems. I have not had a chance to test this on anything other than my G5 and my PPC laptop. Thanks, Brett

Subversion Bundle newbie question

by Thomas Krajacic

recently I installed the svn client from source and wanted to try out the subversion bundle in Textmate. I figured out that I need to set the path variable in TM prefs, since i use tcsh as my shell, and textmate obviously not (bash?). I already have a working copy of my project checked out, and when i change a file in TM, I tried to commit, but it always gives me an authentication error. Now my test server grants me anonymous access, so i don't have to specify any credentials, and i think Textmate is giving some username here. I couldn't find out where to change this. In CVS I had shell variables to set this, but I couldn't find any info on this on the subversion site quickly and in the help file that comes with the bundle. (maybe a TM variable in advanced prefs?) Can anyone lead me in the right direction please. Thomas Krajacic

Re: Automation Menu

tm_dialog: *.plist | pl -> utf8 problem

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, sorry if my question is a bit off topic but I couldn't find any information. I'm just writing a tiny perl script which converts non-ASCII characters coming from 'defaults read ...' to utf-8 because I want to simplify the interaction between BASH and tm_dialog. This works perfectly even with utf-16 surrogates. But then I was a bit naïve! I thought that 'pl' outputs non-ASCII characters in the same way, but it didn't. E.g. an German umlaut 'ö' stored in a xml plist format is outputted as '\U221a\U2202'!! Has someone an idea what kind of 'format' it is? I found no documentation. Or could it mean that 'pl' do not support utf-8 string at all? Thanks for any hint Hans

Automation Menu

Hi all, I'm new to TextMate. I was watching the screencast by Allan on HTML. I noticed his copy of TextMate has the "Automation" menu. This menu is not in my version of TextMate (v1.5.4 - 1324) and I'm running 10.4.8. I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks, Farhan

Commands with output 'Show as HTML' broken (mostly)

by Hugh Bien

Hi all, Most of the commands with output "Show as HTML' are broken for me. By most, I mean all except for RakeMate and Ruby's Documentation look up (Previews, Run commands, all Subversion commands, Textile/Markdown's documentation). I tried creating a new command - echo "hello world" - with Output: "Show as HTML" and it didn't work. What ends up happening is a blank, white window is open. I clicked on view source, and there's nothing there. I noticed this about two weeks ago, and I couldn't fix it. I've updated all my bundles and the support folder. I gave up, and deleted everything under '/Library/Application Support/TextMate', '~/Library/Application Support/TextMate' and anything related to textmate under '~/Library/Preferences'. And I did a clean re-install. But I still can't execute those commands. Has anyone ever had the same problem? I know for sure, I've got my .bash_profile set up correctly, but I'm using zsh (could that be it?). Thanks in advance, and thanks to everyone who tried to help me on IRC. - Hugh

Problem with GTDAlt r6072

by Norman Cohen

I just installed the svn update to GTDAlt (r6072) that reportedly has the fix for date handling. I opened a new GTDAlt document, made a new project, added a new context item and tried to insert a due date (either using # or via menu) and received an error about a non-existent nib file on the desktop. Looking at the code for "set date", I found this line that I think needs to be fixed: str = `#{e_sh dialog} ~/Desktop/testing.nib -mp #{e_sh plist}` I'm not sure which nib the command be looking in but hope that either Allan or Charilaos might be able to help fix this. Thanks, Norm --- Norman A. Cohen nacohen(a)mac.com "Whatever you may be sure of, be sure of this, that you are dreadfully like other people." James Russell Lowell

GTD Success

by Lawrence Goodman

Great! That fixed solved the problem. I now have ical sync! Couple of small things, nothing big to worry about: 1) When I've checked off a to do item in ical and then sync, it succeeds in syncing back with the textmate file, but I also get this error: /Users/lawrencegoodman/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/GTDAlt.tmbundle/Support/bin/gtdalt_ical_synchronization.scpt: execution error: iCal got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1) It doesn't seem to affect functionality, but I thought you might want to know about it. 2) In the instructions, it says: - shift-, (<) reduces the date by one day. - shift-. (>) increases the date by one day. - ctrl-, reduces the date by one week. - ctrl-. increases the date by one week. - ctrl-shift-, (ctrl-<) reduces the date by one month. - ctrl-shift-. (ctrl->) increases the date by one month. These commands don't seem to be working. Have they been eliminated?

Subversion Bundle newbie question 2

by Thomas Krajacic

one more question arose: when i just use the SVN_EDITOR shell variable in tcsh and then do a commit from the commandline, TM opens and I can enter the commit message. However, when I save the file, the terminal tells me that the message has not been changed and gives me the option to abort, continue and edit again. Isn't TM supposed to deliver the message to the svn client correctly after saving the opened message log file? thanks again for helping Thomas Krajacic

tm_dialog quandry (returning array selections)

by Brett Terpstra

Okay, let's say I've got an NSScrollView tied to an arrayController. Heck, let's say I've got a few tied into eachother to create a tree. The plist passes nested arrays to allow a user to, say, pick a Backpack page->note->edit the note and return to TM where the script takes the updated note and returns it to Backpack. I've got the first half all finished, but the plist that comes back to TM just contains the whole array including the edited note and there's no easy way to tell what's changed. How do I pass back the id's of the selected page/note and the note body separately or marked as modified? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brett

select to copy and middle-button paste?

by William Scott

One of the nice features of iTerm and Aqua-Emacs is that selecting text copies into the paste-buffer, and clicking the middle mouse button pastes in text from the buffer, as with X11 programs. (That, and focus-follows-mouse are the two features I miss most from other unix operating systems). Is there a way to do this in TextMate, and if not, is there any chance it might one day be implemented as an optional feature? Bill

Figured Out GTDalt Problems, But Now ...

by Lawrence Goodman

So I figured out what was wrong with my GTDalt installation: 1) I had the GTD file with a suffix of .txt instead of .gtd. I suppose I should have figured this out, but I don't remember reading it in any of the instructions. 2) I had to upgrade the dialog plugin. As a newbie, I typically rely on Get Bundle to fetch my packets, but with a plug-in you need to do it through Subversion and the command line. I also needed to create a folder in Application Support/Textmate called "PlugIns." Now everything words as it should except: Ical sync continues to create calendars, but not add to do items. I get this error msg: /Users/lawrencegoodman/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/GTDAlt.tmbundle/Support/bin/gtdalt_ical_synchronization.scpt: execution error: /Users/lawrencegoodman/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/GTDAlt.tmbundle/Support/bin/get_lists.rb:5:in `require': No such file to load -- ../lib/GTD.rb (LoadError) from /Users/lawrencegoodman/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/GTDAlt.tmbundle/Support/bin/get_lists.rb:5 (1) Anyone know what this means?

LaTeX / Bibliography Completion and Label From Document problem

by Özgür Gökmen

Strange behaviour of Bibliography Completion and Label From Document commands accessed through option-esc. Description of the problem, and workaround based on my correspondence with Charilaos (Harris) Skiadas are below for archival purpose. Thanks Harris! -- Working system PowerPC G4, Mac OS X Version 10.4.8, TexMate Version 1.5.4 (1324), TexLive Full Installation (2006/11/07) [Tex (based upon TeX Live)] / MacTeX (10 November 2006) -- Description of the problem option-esc results in: \footcite{sh: line 1: /usr/local/TeXLive/bin/i386-apple-darwin8.6.1/ kpsewhich: cannot execute binary file sh: line 1: /usr/local/teTeX/ bin/i386-apple-darwin8.6.1/kpsewhich: cannot execute binary file cite_key} \ref{sh: line 1: /usr/local/TeXLive/bin/i386-apple-darwin8.8.1/ kpsewhich: cannot execute binary file sec:section_name} \ref{sh: line 1: /usr/local/TeXLive/bin/i386-apple-darwin8.8.1/ kpsewhich: cannot execute binary file fig:label_name} TeXLive and MacTeX installations modify /etc/profile, and set the path as: PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/TeXLive/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current", which is actually an alias for /usr/local/TeXLive/bin/powerpc-apple- darwin7.9.0/. The scripts of both commands use first `which kpsewhich`, and only if that fails, `locate kpsewhich` to find out where kpsewhich lives. Running the which kpsewhich command in the terminal returns: /usr/local/TeXLive/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/kpsewhich Running the locate kpsewhich command in the terminal returns: /usr/local/TeXLive/bin/i386-apple-darwin8.8.1/kpsewhich /usr/local/TeXLive/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0/kpsewhich /usr/local/TeXLive/man/man1/kpsewhich.1 /usr/local/TeXLive/texmf.texlive/doc/man/man1/kpsewhich.1 The `which kpsewhich' command in both scripts fails -- according to my humble opinion, due to the fact that what is finds is not the actual file but an alias. Then `locate kpsewhich` points to the first kpsewhich it finds on the system, which is an intel binary. Thus it declares "[...] cannot execute binary file". (If you have the Basic Installation of TeXLive, which does not come with intel binaries, it will declare "[...] cannot find binary file".) -- Workaround Bibliograpyh Completion, and Label From Document commands are based on the following scripts: LatexCitekeys.rb, and LatexLabelCompletions.rb. Both of them live in /Applications/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin. Edit both scripts, replacing the following loop -- lines 51-55, and 11-15, respectively: if `which kpsewhich`.match(/^no kpsewhich/) then kpsewhich = `locate kpsewhich`.split("\n").grep(/kpsewhich$/)[0] else kpsewhich = "kpsewhich" end with a statement indicating the correct path to the powerpc kpsewhich binary. kpsewhich = "/usr/local/TeXLive/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/ kpsewhich" or kpsewhich = "/usr/local/TeXLive/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0/kpsewhich" should both work. Check your /etc/profile or better run "echo $PATH" in the terminal to confirm your path. -- Özgür Gökmen | og(a)pyromedia.org

silly question about the zoom button

by Jay Soffian

TextMate's zoom button (the green jewel in the title bar) maximizes windows to the full screen. Great on my 12" PowerBook. Highly annoying on my 24" iMac. I'd rather it maximize vertically only. This behavior seems to vary across OS X applications (Safari only maximizes vertically e.g.). Any chance there is a hidden preference? Thanks, j.
