Hi to all,
I would like to announce that Yummy FTP version 1.0.4, which will be released next week,
will include support for TextMate using the ODB editor suite.
Thanks go to Eric Curtis for his input regarding Yummy FTP and his suggestion to subscribe
to this list.
If any of you have any questions, suggestions or comments regarding Yummy FTP please do
not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Jason

Maybe a 'View' option, that opens in Preview, and a 'Edit' option that
opens based on creator code. (as right click/context menu items)
Then just a pref, that says 'open' = View or Edit?
So even if you have the default 'open'(double click) = View(which would
be a good default), you can right click, and say edit if you need to.
Hope this helps,

I always like SubEthaEdit's New File | Open File command in when
option-clicking on the dock icon. Is this something that TM could
incorporate?

Hi Allan et al,
I have a small request: Following the recent enhancement allowing you
to enlarge a selection by using shift in combination with the arrow
keys, it would be nice if similar behaviour was exhibited when using
the mouse.
To clarify, I'd like to be able to double click on a word, hold the
shift key and then single click outside the selection to enlarge it. At
present, when using the mouse rather than keys to enlarge the
selection, it always takes the start of the selection as the insert
point rather than switching the insertion point based on whether the
new selection point is before or after the current selection.
This means that trying to enlarge a selection by shift-clicking before
a selection actually results in removing the existing selection rather
than enlarging it.
Thank you for your time.

I'm still very much a TextMate (and mailing list) newbie, so haven't
quite got my head around everything - apologies if this is already some
built-in thing I am unaware of or if this has already been covered
before. Here's something that might prove a minor challenge to my
fellow list subscribers (well it does to me).
I have a file which is essentially just a list of things. I haven't
been overly diligent in keeping things in alphabetical order and now I
want to sort the file. I know that I can use the command line and use a
UNIX sort on it. In Vim I used to invoke the ! and run it through sort,
outputting the results back into the buffer without having to leave
Vim. So, is there a way to do it within TextMate?
What if I only wanted to sort a selection and overwrite that selection
with the sorted version of the selection? What about a reverse sort?
Column selections?
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Ive noticed that icons in the drawer for files TM doesn't recognize always
seem to be the generic document icon rather than the one the Finder uses,
does TM need to have the icons built in or can it read them from the Finder
when necessary?, I seem to remember earlier version did this, but I could be
mistaken.
Anyway, Id quite like my .fla and .swf files to have nice icons, Id be happy
to supply the icons if they need to be built in, Allan?...

Allan,
I have attached icons for .fla, .swf and image files (.jpg, .gif etc) if you
need them. If anyone would like to add these to their copy of TM, just open
the TM package and drop the files into the Contents/Resources/File Icons/
directory, don't forget the Bindings.plist file as well.
Regards
Chris Jenkins

How do people feel about having TextMate set the creator code for saved
files?
1) should it do it only for files w/o extension?
2) for specific (user setable) extensions?
3) have a global on/off switch?
4) be setable in the save panel?
The "problem" with creator codes is that they take precedence over file
extension, so if for example you save a .html file with TextMate, that
file will open in TextMate (if double clicked) even if you've
instructed Finder to use OmniWeb to open HTML files (but you can change
it pr. file though).
So creator codes does IMHO break the "change all" feature of Finder.
Personally I'd probably like #1 from above, maybe #2, though I
generally do prefer my files to have a blank creator code.
I'm not that creative so I haven't figured out how to do this yet.
I have the following structure
project/
project/classes/
project/src/
projekt/Makefile
I usually create a TM-project for the source-folder.
How can I make a macro that executes the makefile?
Or any other ideas on how to simplify compiling?
Hopefully I will only be using the terminal to start my programs

Not sure if this has come up as an issue yet ...
When defining files to match a language syntax ( currently fileTypes =
( ext1, ext2 ) in plists), what about defining a file match by way of
shebang/interpreter?
Is there a way to do this that I just don't know about?

I'm trying to get a command set up in Textmate to open the current file
in FTPeel in order to invoke the Magic Mirror command (uploads the file
to the appropriate directory on the appropriate server automatically).
I found this script to do it in VIM:
> " FTPeel
> fun! MagicMirrorIt()
> let path = substitute(expand("%:p"), '/', ":", "g")
> let nice_path = substitute(path, "^:", "", "")
> execute('!osascript -e "tell application \"FTPeel\" to open \"' .
> nice_path . '\""')
> endfun
>
> map :call MagicMirrorIt()
Basically, it's as easy as calling an Applescript with the command
'tell application "FTPeel" open $TM_FILEPATH'
except FTPeel has a bug with converting the unix filepath to a "mac"
filepath (users:toby:home:sites:file) because it leaves the initial /
in the mac path...i guess what the VIM command above does is remove the
first / (i think)...how would I go about doing this as a Textmate
command?
Thanks for your help!

Something I have become accustomed to in my Win32 text editor of choice
(Homesite+) is customizing the syntax highlighting so that comments have
a different (yellow) background color.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks, Allan. Now to put my money where my mouth is and buy a license.

From the b4 release notes:

I'm understanding this to mean that in future it will be necessary to
create a project for everything. Is that right?
If so, the input I'd offer is that this is how Dreamweaver worked for
years. You had to define a 'site' before you could make even the
smallest edit to a file. It was a PITA and eventually Macromedia agreed
to change the behavior.
TextMate has scratch projects though, which I hope would avoid the
situation whereby the user needs to jump through hoops just to make a
small edit to a file they don't usually work with.
drew.
I notice that if I do a multi-file search across a project with positive
matches, close the project and open up another one, the old list of
files from the previous project will remain in the Find in Project
dialog. I would have thought that the list would be closed with the
project, no?

I've just discovered TextMate and am seriously considering buying a
license.
I have tried numerous text editors in the hope that I would find one
that really delivered. Many seem to be ports from other platforms and
haven't truly embraced the capabilities of OS X. SubEthaEdit was
closest I had come to something I liked (especially the price), but it
still lacks a lot and frankly I don't need the collaborative editing.
People kept telling me that BBEdit was the ultimate editor but despite
claims it was totally rewritten for OS X, it's still Carbon (despite
BareBones' earlier claims of it being in Cocoa - the black and white
spinning disk is a bit of a Carbon giveaway), and it really didn't
strike me as such. It seems like a throwback to the pre-OS X era (and
is therefore bound to have plenty of pre-OS X cruft). I tried it
several times and just couldn't get on with it. The file drawer was
klunky and on several occasions I had huge problems saving and opening
files. It's visually unappealing with its stupid little buttons. It
feels bloated and a little buggy. Another major downside I found was
that as I had previously tried earlier versions of BBEdit, the demo
period would suddenly end without warning and any work I was doing was
suddenly lost. Thanks, BareBones, not the best way to woo a prospective
license owner!
The only thing I did like about BBEdit was its ability to tell me how
many words and characters I was highlighting.
Today I read the following article on MacDevCenter about text editors:
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/11/05/text_editors.html?
page=1
I decided to take a look at TextMate and Smultron. In Smultron I
instantly liked the way I could see exactly how many words and
characters I had highlighted. This is important to me as I have a
number of forms with specific length fields I write text for. It's also
a fairly standard feature of many editors. In fact I prefer the way it
is done in Smultron over BBEdit. There are a few other things in
Smultron I liked, but when I fired up TextMate I was instantly blown
away. It just felt right.
Now all I need to do is work out how to determine the number of
characters and words I am highlighting (without manually counting
them). Is it possible to do that in TextMate at the moment? If I can
find that out then I'll buy a license.
Regards,
Stuart
seeing as how you can open multiple folders in the project drawer (by
shift-arrow selecting them and then arrow-right to open), would it be
possible to allow multiple files to be opened as tabs in one go as well, so,
selecting a few with shift and then enter to open them?
/MS
Is there a way in v1.0.1 to highlight a line or a block and have it
either commented or uncommented based on the current state of the line
(a la Scite)? Could this be done through the use of Macros?
-Brian
Hi Allan and al.
I know it can be done two ways[1] but could it be possible to have a
"Insert file" option in File or Edit? It would be easier and more natural.
Thanks,

I've also noticed that when I'm working in a project, and I make a
selection that requires horizontal scrolling and then switch back and
forth between another tab, that TM forgets the scrollbar X, Y
coordinates. For now I can hit Cmd-J, but it would be nice if I didn't
have to refocus every time I switch between tabs.

I've noticed that when I'm making a mouse selection that extends beyond
the visible editing area, TM doesn't scroll to follow my movements. This
is fairly unintuitive. WIll this be changing in an upcoming release?

Currently when you do an extended Find across a project and choose to
replace text, it is not obvious that your changes aren't saved when you
close the dialog box, which would be the expected bahavior.
It wasn't until I had uploaded all the files in the project and was
about to close the project (I had already closed all of the tabs) when I
was asked if I wanted to save the changed documents! I had to go through
to whole upload process again to commit my changes!
This behavior should be much more transparent to the user--either by
automatically saving changes to files that are not open in tabs or to
have a check box on the find/replace in project dialog that offers to
save changes automatically.

Hi All,
When "Saving as" a document using for instance "iso-latin-1" file
encoding, if the document contains a character that can not be saved
with this encoding, the file is automaticaly saved in UTF-8. OK, that's
the same with TextEdit. But the point is, we have no warning about it,
which could be confusing.
Could we have a message box that display :
"your document cannot be saved in <the encoding you want>,
so what do you want to do :
[] save as UTF-8
[] edit your document to change exotic character(s)"
And could we have too an utility to track down those characters that
prevent the file from being saved in the chosen encoding? Or does RegEx
Find/Replace allow it?
And (last) for HTML file, when saving, could TM match the
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=xxx">
with the File Encoding?
Have a nice day,

I was thinking that it might be useful to be able to view two documents
side by side in a project for easy reference. You could alt-click drag
from the gutter to create a split and then drag tabs between splits up

Any thoughts on this?
