Finally having a go at TM2 and I may have miss any tips on this in the past flurry of emails on this subject so sorry if it has already been posted. I've set up both alias' and symbolic links of directories I frequently use into a "Working" directory. However I find I can't keep that directory as the root (or home) directory. The alias/linked folders are not expandable. Clicking on them takes me to the original folder which makes setting up a "Working" directory less than useful.
Is there a .tm_properties I can set or another way to keep allow alias/links to drill down like a regular folder?

Hi all,
I was wondering whether something like the Live Web Preview
available in TextMate 1 will be present in TextMate 2?
I was (ab)using this functionality (and its `Pipe text
through (command)' option) to implement live LaTeX editing
and previewing with TextMate 1 (the preview would basically
update after every keystroke, no need to save the document).
This worked so well, it became my primary use case and killer
application for TextMate.
In TextMate 2, I noticed a `Show Web Preview' command in the
HTML bundle, but the preview would neither update automatically
nor is a `Pipe text through' option provided.
It would be more than sad to see this functionality go away...
Cheers and keep up the good work,

Hi All,
In TM1, this command:
mate path/to/dir1 path/to/dir2
used to open both dir1 and dir2 within the same TM main window
In TM2, this command:
mate path/to/dir1 path/to/dir2
opens two distinct windows, one for dir1, one for dir2
How to restore the behaviour from TM1?
Thanks.
Another unrelated question:
What is the rationale that defines where the textmate configuration is
set? For example, the antialias font settings is defined system-wide
with the user "defaults" command, while the font family is defined
within a .tm_properties file. From a very high level, this seems quite
weird - although I'm sure there is a good reason to do so, it does not
seem easy to remember where each setting should be set.
Cheers,
Manu
Hi all, I have the following line and nothing else in ~/.tm_properties :
softWrap = false
However, when I launch TM2 (with no documents previously open in the
workspace), it shows an untitled document with Soft Wrap enabled, set to
wrap at the window edge. Is that supposed to happen? If it is supposed to
happen, is there some other way to have soft wrap turned off by default?
Thanks!

Show Scope (HTML) in the "Bundle Development" bundle appears to be broken, it always displays an alert "Could not locate your theme file!" independent of the chosen theme.

Hi,
I heard that Michael Sheets is coordinating bundle development. Could you or somebody who knows some detail give a short information on the status and future of the LaTeX bundle for TM2.

Hi All,
Some observations and comments regarding the output window:
- It would be cool if each command could select it's placement (window, right, and consequently there should be left and bottom as choice as well, plus a choice to use a truly individual window instead of reusing the same output window). This could be handled via the "Output" drop down in the bundle editor.
- long running commands (I have an Xcode build & run command that produces "clickable" log messages) prevent switching to another 'tab' in the output window (eg the little arrows in the bottom left don't work)
- randomly a command seems to clobber another output window instead of opening a new 'tab', have not figured out the exact circumstances. Also maybe real 'tab's instead of just the little triangles at the bottom of the window.
- I often run multiple targets from the same project. With TM1 I simply had multiple output windows to track their output, TM2 no longer lets me do that: I can't have multiple windows, and it seems to only allow one task running at the same time.
- I seem to recall that in TM1 I could target a specific window by using a specific title, doesn't seem to work in TM2.

Hi,
Firstly, loving the new Find in Project interface, particularly the live preview for Replace All.
However, having a problem where Find All makes some really wacky selections. For example:
As it turns out, lines 90 and 94 can't possibly exist in this file—it only has 59 lines! If I re-run Find All it then selects the correct lines and marks them with a star in the gutter.
Consequently, if I run Replace All when the weird or non-existant lines are selected, I get some incredibly strange results, like my replacement text being inserted at a random place in a line I never selected.
This is a large project with 3000+ files and directories.
Is anyone else having problems like this?

Anyone else having trouble saving files on remote file systems using
macfusion sshfs?
On save I'm getting "The document could not be saved. Setting extended
attributes: Attribute not found" though the file is saved.
I tried the old "defaults write com.macromates.textmate
OakDocumentDisableFSMetaData 1" from TM1 but that didn't seem to work.
Any thoughts? I've got "Ignore Apple double Files" check in macfusion
which is probably causing the problem, but unchecking it makes things
much too slow when using macfusion.
Cheers

hello,
is it ok to do some shameless advertising for a little shell script i
wrote? i've ported the rmate script to a shell script (bash). it's not
my intention to replace the original ruby script, however: i needed
something with as few dependencies as possible, because i do not want
-- or am even unable -- to install ruby on every machine i would like
to have this functionality on.
i am no expert in shell development, so my script may contain serious
flaws (use with caution ;-) ). i have tested it on ubuntu 10.x, irix
6.5 (with nekoware bash) and osx. requirements are a bash with support
for the "magic" device "/dev/tcp" and some standard unix tools.
feel free to fork it on github and improve it :)

For textmate2 I do like how the bundles have been centeralized, but I am
wondering how do I import either 3rd part bundles such as the html5 bundle,
and / or bring back in a lot of my old tab triggers.
Take for example, since using textmate for so long I don't remember how to
make a UL list. So I would type ul ->(tab) and it would give me a ul with 1
li event.
Then for the rest of the list I would go through and type - li ->
The same would work for template -> img -> a -> etc.
Really you guys are doing a great job with the textmate2 alpha, and I love
rmate!
-Thanks,
Tony Spore
When I'm opening even small files (~200 lines), I can see each line change
from default color, to the color of the selected scheme. Any chance that's
going to improve?
The Bundle Development command "Show Source (HTML)" dies if it can't find
the TextMate plist. I added a check for the TM Preview plist, which fixes
the bug for me. Here is the git repo (should be ready to go in your
Avian/Bundles folder):
http://github.com/SSSSSmokey/Bundle-Development.tmbundle
Let me know if there are any problems.

Hi,
latexmk does not work properly when checked in the prefs. Having a document with biblatex/biber it does not run as much as needed.
What are the plans to update the provided latex bundle? Does any other bundle exist for latex?

Hi,
I want to duplicate each line where a certain string occurs.
* I select the text I want to search for and type Cmd-E
* Cmd-F to find all in the document
* Shift-Cmd-L to select the entire line for each occurrence
At this point, I typed Shift-Cmd-D expecting a duplicate of each line to be inserted below their respective selections. I received this error message:
I assume this is because the command doesn't (yet) support duplicating lines with multiple carets.

hello,
while the new "smart folder" feature where you can see uncommited/
untracked files is a great addition to TM2, it's very unconvenient to
use, if your project follows a modular approach. my projects for
example are always built from several generic modules, which have
their own git repositories. so the directory layout i am using is
something like:
work
|
+- module1
| + .git
| + ...
|
+- module2
| + .git
| + ...
|
+- module3
| + .git
| + ...
...
i've opened my "work" folder in TM2's file browser, but i cant use the
"smart folder" functionality here, because there is no ".git"
directory here, but each module has a ".git" directory. now to see the
uncommited/untracked files, i apparently have to navigate to each
module first to have the "smart folder" functionality. any chances
that this could be expanded, that you could have a summary of all
uncommited/untracked files from the parent directory ("work" in this
case)?
thanks very much!

Failure running “Duplicate Line / Selection”.

@Adam Sharp, I couldn't see your error message but this is the error I get.

Hi,
I don't know whether I'm missing something or just trying to use
something not yet implemented, but I can't seem to set any http_proxy
settings. I've tried:
TM_HTTP_PROXY = ****PROXYSERVER***:3128
http_proxy = ****PROXYSERVER***:3128
in my .tm_properties file and as variables in the preferences pane.
But neither seem to work - I can't for example connect to the macromates
download server to check for new releases.
This has the side effect that when I try to enable a theme I get the
message 'Installed Birds of Paradise' but the check box instantly
un-checks it's self and I get the message:
19/12/2011
12:20:15 [0x0-0x13b13b].com.macromates.TextMate.preview[25857] *** error
downloading
‘http://updates.textmate.org/Bundles/Birds%20of%20Paradise.tbz’:
couldn't connect to host
in the console log.
As a text I checked and unchecked the 'Theme' option in themes and that
then became disabled too. Obviously it's pretty easy to fix all the
symptoms, but it'd be great to get the core functionality working.
Any hints?
Cheers
Alex
p.s. (yes my .bash_profile has "export http_proxy=....
I'm getting Error moving current version. Error: Permission denied when I get
prompted to install and replace to the latest build of Textmate 2. I even
tried in a user account that has admin privileges and still get the same
error. Any advice?

Is it possible to fill .tm_properties with (my/user defined) default values instead of an empty file?

I've add the Java.tmbundle and Scala.tmbundle to ~/Library/Application
Support/Avian/Pristine Copy/Bundles but they won't show in Textmate 2. Oddly
the groovy.tmbundle added in the same manner works as expected.
What could be wrong here? The permissions look OK. The bundles show a check
next to them in Preferences, but they have no listing under the Actions
menu.

TextMate 2 looks awesome! Just got to play a little with it ... :)
I really like the way bundles are installed from Prefs.
I tried enabling the ReStructuredText bundle, and I found an error, it seems.
It showed up when I tried to launch preview, I got:
Failure running "Preview".
This command requires ‘rst2html.py’ which wasn’t found on your system.
The following locations were searched: /usr/bin, /bin, /usr/sbin,
/sbin, /Users/phil/Library/Application
Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles/Bundle
Support.tmbundle/Support/shared/bin.
If ‘rst2html.py’ is installed elsewhere then you need to set
TM_RST2HTML in Preferences → Variables to the full path of where you
installed it.
I'm not sure this needs to be reported here, maybe it's just something
in the readme of that bundle or something the right person is aware
of, but just in case, thought I'd report it ... :)
BTW: The .tm_properties file, where do I put it if I want to define
something to be default everywhere?
Or is this file just for folder properties that deviates from the
default settings?
Some of the possibilities looks really nice. If people need this
project functionality back, maybe a gui/drag&drop frontend to
.tm_properties could do the trick? (Drag&drop excludes etc, turn
on/off different settings.)

In TM1 "Open Recent" would not collect any file opened from the project viewer. I found that more useful, as it accumulated all my projects over time while in TM2 it has all the useless individual file entries.
And as others mentioned:
- I'd rather have single-click than double-click to open a file
- Closing the last tab should not close the window
Not seen this mentioned: how do you add a new file to a given folder? "New File" is missing from the context menu...
