- TextMate - lists.macromates.com

by Mojca Miklavec

Hello, Can someone please give me hint how to implement the following simple auto-complete scheme in TextMate: 1. We have three commands: \hi, \hello, \world 2. They can be used as: a) \hi[mum] or \hi[mum,dad,grandpa] or \hi[mummy,daddy] ... where we are allowed to put only one of the words mum, mummy, dad, daddy, grandma, grandpa into brackets (can be a list) b) \hello[mum,grandpa] ... the same way as \hi is used c) \world[shape=sphere,color=blue] or \world[color=brown] where one can use only "shape=sphere/geoid/cube" and "color=blue/black/gray/brown" I'm confident with writing ruby code, but I need some basic hints for the TextMate part of it. Thanks a lot, Mojca

synctex support in LaTeX bundle

by Mark Moll

Are there any plans to add synctex support to the LaTeX bundle? Synctex is part of the *tex engine and replaces pdfsync. It will be part of TeXLive 2008. Skim.app already includes support for synctex. -- Mark

Spelling in comments

by Eric Uner

In looking at how spell checking in comments works, and searching the archives for alternatives and suggestions, I can see spelling is disabled in comments because, as Alan points out, "a lot of comments are actually commented out code." Good point, and I can clearly see there is no one way that can make everyone happy. In my case, a tremendous amount of useful documentation is in code comments, and spelling errors make the code less professional. I am constantly going to an external editor, or typing the comment into a blank area of the document inside a quote so that TextMate thinks it is a string, then removing the quote and hitting command+/. I'm thinking about crating a shell script or bundle or something to do all this. Does anyone have any more "elegant" suggestions? It would be great if there was a way, for example, to have a menu item (perhaps even a bundle) that could just spell check the selection regardless of the context. Thank you for any suggestions. Doc

Matching multiple lines in a grammar pattern

by Nate Cavanaugh

Hi all, I'm trying to add an invalid scope to a certain group of lines. Basically, the regex pattern I would like to match is this: ^(\n){2,} Which works fine in the Find dialog, but when trying to use it as a pattern, it doesn't work. I am guessing because of the way that the pattern matching works for grammars, but is there a way to match this? The logic is, I would like to match every line that has no content on it, but is part of a group of 2 or more extraneous lines. One \n is valid, but 2 or more is invalid. I've tried so many variations of trying to use captures, matching content, but it seems to be treating each line as it's own match independent of the previous or next ones. Anyone know how I might go about applying this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Matching-multiple-lines-in-a-grammar-pattern-tp189011… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Feature Request: Bibdesk Support for Latex Watch in Latex bundle

by Jan Michael

Hi Textmate and LaTex-Users, with my current workflow writing a masters thesis I frequently add books via BibDesk to my bibliography. Currently I have to run BibTex separatly to propagate changes in my *.bib file to the latex main document. But I think this could also be done by the latex_watch.pl script of the latex bundle. Is this possible? Cheers, Jan

I must be one of the few that got TM1 specifically because TM2 was advertised as a free upgrade. I figured I would learn what the editor was all about and be familiar with the basics when the new version came out, I assumed, soon after Leopard. Well, that time came and went and there are enough niggling things in TM, particularly with the python bundle (the language I edit the most), that I went searching elsewhere. For me the single most frustrating thing with the python bundle is that you need to add blank lines with spaces to line up the end of a class / def in order for code folding to work. That is not only annoying for me, but other team members as well. A close #2 is also with folding, which breaks if you start function parameters on a new line rather than on the same line, e.g. test = some_func( param1, param2) Perfectly legal, but you need to do this in order to have any hope folding code: test = some_func(\ param1, param2) Legal, but annoying, especially working with a team where I don't have control of the entire source's coding style. -berto.

Scrollbar bug

by Morten Skyt

Hey, I tried sending this a week ago to the mailing list through that webinterface, Nabble, but as there was no responses, I recon it didn't come through, so here I try again: I just noticed a peculiar bug with the scrollbars when browsing the database. Apparently, the resizing of the window often causes some of the scrollbars to be either fully or partially hidden. I've tried searching the posts through nabble.com and it didn't seem this issue was debated, but as this is my first time here, I apologize if I was wrong... I've recorded a little video which demonstrates the bug. Textmate is build 1464. http://skythost.com/stuff/textmatescrollbarbug.mov Regards, Morten Skyt

How to target specific fields for a "Change to Titlecase" in SQL

by John Stephens

Hi, I'm new. I'm working on a custom Textpattern installation and my client has entered a massive amount of text data in certain fields using UPPERCASE. He wants the text displayed in Title Case instead, and he doesn’t want to manually change it. I can easily use the style declaration "text-transform: capitalize;" for these elements, but my client would very much prefer formal title case in which words such as “the,” “of,” “and,” and “for” are not capitalized. (I see that Textmate’s "Convert to Titlecase" command in the "Text" menu does this correctly.) I have made a mysql dump of the database, but I'm not sure how to isolate the appropriate data for a text transformation. Here is how each individual record is formatted in the database: (91,'2008-08-03 05:20:57','author-username','2008-08-03 05:26:33','','UPPERCASE DATA','','','','','','','UPPERCASE-DATA','', 0,'Comment',0,4,1,1,'section-name','','lowercase-data','lowercase- data','','','','','','','','','','','UPPERCASE DATA','','lowercase- data','3p344629nn178n874sp2s222s0q3n072','2008-08-03') The mysql dump also contains uppercase terms such as "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS" and lowercase terms like "datetime" and "varchar" that I _don't_ want changed. Is there a simple way to target just the UPPERCASE DATA fields enclosed in single quotes for a massive "Covert to Titlecase"? I welcome advise from regular expression fu-masters and Textmate adepts! Thanks in advance! John Stephens

Re: TextMate 2, I give it up

by Christopher Boerger

> Please, lets not start this again. > Be happy with what you have, and dream of TM2 at night, > but for the love of god, stop complaining in the mean time. I think it's fair enough to ask. TextMate 2 has been talked about for what, 1.5 -2 years now? There's rarely an update as to the progress either, which is what I think is the main reason people ask "so where's TextMate 2.0 at?" It's a closed-source commercial product (which, for the record, is okee dokee by me) so, in my opinion, there is more responsibility in communicating with your customers. Nobody can just hop in and adopt the open-source "don't like it, then fix it" approach. Why are people so defensive about talking about it? Perhaps I missed a TextMate 2.0 mega-flame battle prior to subscribing to this list. Clearly TextMate is great. Clearly TextMate is an impressive version 1.x generation product. However, if you really think that TextMate is so complete then I question if you have used any other text editor or IDE or if you are just a fanboy. Basic features like split panes windows and a decent undo system are missing. Because those features are so basic it means their absence is felt nearly every time I use TextMate. I won't get into what features from what editors are missing/ would be nice but I list those two only to underscore the point that TextMate, while great, still has, at the very least, some basic functionality missing. Basic functionality that will, we assume, be addressed with TextMate 2.0. There isn't a day the goes by that I don't lament the lack of a split pane window. Please note that this does not imply I don't think TextMate doesn't have many great things about it that other editors are missing. TextMate rocks. Therefore, after a long, silent wait since its announcement and the fact that there are still some glaring holes with the current release I think it's fair to ask, "so where's 2.0 at?" It's not a complaint, it's just a question and a reasonable one at that.

Mactex wiki doesn't mention TextMate

by Snyder, David F

I was checking on the synctex issue brought up yesterday and while looking at the MacTex wiki (for "TeX on a Mac") there is no mention of TextMate as a TeX editor or "frontend", which is rather surprising since I've used all of the editors and front ends mentioned and found TextMate's approach preferable. I've not the time right now, but perhaps some enterprising soul from this list might wish to rectify the situation: http://mactex-wiki.tug.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Sincerely -- David F.

Changing

by Steve Lianoglou

Hi all, When entering commit comments using the subversion bundle, you can submit the dialog box by hitting the Enter key w/o having to grab the mouse and hit the Commit button with the cursor. I was wondering if I could change which key invokes the "Commit" command in the dialog box. Since the Enter key is a multi-step dance on my keyboard, I was hoping to be able to switch it from Enter to "Shift-Return", or something similar. Anyone know if that's possible? Thanks, -steve ps. Sorry for the bad subject line, can't think of any handy one-liner to summarize my question.

tmCommand, Dialogs and multiple outputs (Ack problem)

by Adam Strzelecki

Hi, I don't know if it was discussed already but there's something that bothers me very much, the way showAsHTML in tmCommand works. Right now using "Ack in Project" with ⇧⌘A opens empty blank output window (killing old window if it was there), then Ack displays dialog asking for the search query, if I press cancel output is left blank. I was thinking it was fault of Ack scripts themselves, but unfortunately it is way the commands work in TM. So my Q is, would it be feasible to: (1) Show output window only once command writes something into the output first time -> So in Ack when the window is popped up we don't see output window yet, and when we Cancel we won't see the output as well (it will mimic better expected interface) (2) Ability to create multiple output windows for single tool, currently Ack has its own single output window so: * When I search something new, all my previous results are killed, even when I press by mistake the shortcut, now the output window is emptied * I wish to search for few things at once and make all the results stay Seting "uid" to nothing (or removing the uid section from tmCommand) somehow makes many output windows to show up (2), but something wrong makes sometimes TM crash with such windows.

TextMate 2, I give it up

by Peder Axensten

http:wiki.macromates.com/FAQ/TextMate2: Q: Will TM2 be a free upgrade? Yes. Except for users who got TM1 as part of the MacHeist package. The MacHeist TM1 license will require an upgrade fee in order to upgrade to TM2. (source). So, there will be no TextMate 2 for a long, long, long time. Not until there is a serious competitor.

Web preview enhancements?

by Marco De Vitis

Hi, regarding web development with TextMate and its web preview: I found the http://wiki.macromates.com/GUI/WebPreviewEnhancements page, and wondered if everything written there still applies, and if any workarounds exist, especially for the following two issues: > Don't close it when a different tab is selected in the TextMate main > window > Add an option to refresh the Web Preview window if "any" file in the > project has changed. This would be useful for anyone editing CSS > files and wishes to see the changes immediately. The lack of these two features unfortunately makes the preview rather useless when developing a new site from scratch while using a separate CSS file. I'll add to these that AFAICT, when editing a long HTML page, the web preview goes back to the top each time it's refreshed, making it useless again if you're working on an area at the bottom of the page. Am I missing anything? Thanks :). -- Ciao, Marco.

mate command broken after security update 2008-005

by Sean Lynch

Yesterday I installed the os x security update 2008-005. Now the mate command takes a very long time to run. For instance if I type "mate ." to open the current folder it can take up to five minutes to complete the command. The length of time to open the directory seems to be proportional to the number of files in the directory. If I use mate to open a single file it still takes 10-20 seconds. Also, I don't know if this is related or if it will help diagnose this problem but after the update I noticed another difference in the terminal usage. In my .profile I have export CLICOLOR=1 export LSCOLORS=DxGxcxdxCxegedabagacad But after the update "ls -la" won't use color when printing results. I wish I could give more information but I don't really know where to begin. Has anyone had any similar experiences.

LaTeX Bundle and Terminal

by gkv1＠mac.com

Hello, I'm using TextMate a lot for Latex - it a great editor and bundle for that. I have one question: How can I open a terminal, or go to a pre-existing terminal window, from TextMate, and then run a given shell script in the terminal, in particular a shell script that would typeset the master document? One reason I want to do this is that the latex bundle seems to typeset in nonstop mode. If there is an error, it highlights it but keeps on running if possible. This is not always optimal, as one would sometimes like to be able to press the 'h' key and see what help TeX can offer in finding the error. One could do this easily from a terminal, and it would be nice to call this with a keystroke from TextMate. It is presumably possible to modify the LaTeX bundle to do this from the console - and perhaps this is already doable but I don't know? But in any case, I'd still like to be able to open a terminal window as above. Thanks Geoff Vallis

Latex label creation

Hi Textmate-List, is it possible that the labels which are automatically created on writing a new chapter, section, subsection and so on also recognize German Umlauts ä,ö,ü as well as ß? Right now these characters do not got replaced by ae, oe, ue and ss so that you have to do it yourself if you want end up in an compile error with latex (pretty annoying when using the "WatchLatex" script). It would be of much help if the label creation function could handle this. Can anyone help? As far as I can see the regexp has to be extended. Best regards, Jan

Why multi-line commenting for Java bundle?

by Trevor Harmon

Hi all, Normally, when you execute the Comment Line command, it inserts a single-line comment (e.g., // in C). That's true for Python, Ruby, C/C+ +, Objective-C, shell scripts, you name it... but not Java. For some reason the Java bundle inserts multi-line comments (/* ... */). This leads to problems when trying to uncomment lines. For example: 1. Select N lines 2. Hit Command+/ to comment the lines 3. Cancel the selection 4. Go back and select the same N lines 5. Hit Command+/ to uncomment the lines This works in all the other modes, but in Java, it's impossible. The problem is step 4. Instead of selecting just the same N lines, you have to extend the selection to N+1 lines, but only far enough to select the first two characters in the N+1 line (to capture the trailing "*/"). And if you really want some fun, try uncommenting only some of the lines. Again, works perfectly in every mode but Java. So, basically, the Comment Line command seems only half-baked for the Java bundle. I realize I could probably fix this myself by hacking around in the Bundle Editor, but shouldn't the bundle be using single- line comments by default? Even if there's some benefit of multi-line comments that I'm missing, you'd think the Java bundle would still use single-line comments for the sake of consistency. Why's the Java bundle such an oddball? Trevor

Speeding up Xcode builds

by Gerd Knops

I like to build and run my Xcode projects using the "Build & Run" command from the Xcode bundle, both for convenience and because my debug output and exceptions are formatted in such a way that it can be clicked in the output window so TextMate jumps to that section in the code. With Xcode 3 that has become a little trying though: Every time the underlying xcodebuild command is launched, it goes through a rather lengthy "Checking Dependencies" phase. Xcode itself seems to cache the results from that phase, it is only slow the first time a project is built after opening it in Xcode. Hoping that it might help others, I came up with with the command attached below. It uses Xcode to build the project, and (upon success) hides Xcode and launches the freshly built application in such a way that the output goes to the normal "Build With Xcode" window. If compilation fails, it leaves Xcode in the front. I set Xcode to use the "Condensed" layout, positioned the "Build Results" window to be the same size and location as TextMate's "Build With Xcode" window, and set TextMate as external editor for all source files. So double- clicking on an error message will still jump to that location in the code in TextMate, just like the original Build With Xcode" window would do with a single click. Hope that helps someone, feedback welcome. Gerd

This comment suggests that those who aren't interested in a forum are somehow luddites or old-fashioned. Some technologies work better for some functions for some people better than others. This particular group has cohered around this mailing list. It's entirely possible that another group would cohere around a forum. No one is stopping you from setting one up -- Google, Yahoo, and scores of others offer such venues for free. Notice that the best discussions about Apple technology are not in any Apple.com forum but in places like Ars Technica or OS X Hints, etc. It's possible that some here would join you in a forum. I certainly like the fact that a well-designed forum offers me a good archive that I don't have to maintain. john

Error in CVS bundle

by Jürgen Albertsen

Hi, please see the stack trace below that I get whenever I try to commit something with the CVS bundle. I made a fresh install of both TextMate (Version 1.5.7 (1464)) and the CVS bundle. Because the error occurs in the builder.rb file is this in any way related to a provious bug that prevented the Rails plugin to run focussed test? Thanks, Jürgen Stacktrace: Users/juergen/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles/CVS.tmbundle/Support/cvs_commit.rb:99: undefined method `keys' for []:Array (NoMethodError) from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `call' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `_nested_structures' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:149:in `method_missing' from /Users/juergen/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles/CVS.tmbundle/Support/cvs_commit.rb:99 from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `call' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `_nested_structures' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:149:in `method_missing' from /Users/juergen/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles/CVS.tmbundle/Support/cvs_commit.rb:97 from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `call' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `_nested_structures' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:149:in `method_missing' from /Users/juergen/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles/CVS.tmbundle/Support/cvs_commit.rb:25 from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `call' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:227:in `_nested_structures' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:149:in `method_missing' from /Users/juergen/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles/CVS.tmbundle/Support/cvs_commit.rb:19

Combining files?

by W. Thomas Leroux

I have about 45 files I'd like to combine into one, and short of opening each one and copy & pasting it into the new one, I don't see a clear way to do this in Textmate. I'm certain there *is* a way, I'm just not seeing it. Suggestions? Thanks! -- All about me! http://www.leroux.ca

Run makefile instead of xcode project

by Nikolaus Binder

Hi everybody, I have very simple question being rather new to textmate: How do I change the key binding of command-r from "compile xcode project" to "run the makefile in the parent directory"? Any help would be appreciated... Greetings, Nick

Autocompletion

by podperson

I realize there's some kind of workaround to make autocompletion work in a vaguely pleasant way: http://www.nabble.com/Autocompletion-to17643856.html#a17643856 But is there a more user-friendly option. (I happen to have XCode installed on my machine, but I imagine there are members of the target audience for TextMate who won't.) Are there plans to make autocompletion part of TextMate's core functionality? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Autocompletion-tp18700987p18700987.html Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Suggestion to improve doctohtml.rb => relative line numbering

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Dear all, I'm just writing a a tiny bundle 'Copy Formatted as' RTF (Xe)TeX wordml HTML ... I was inspired by the bundle Copy as RTF by Max Muermann (kindly hosted at github by Dr Nic Williams) [I found it with GetBundles ;)]. This bundle works fine for RTF but it lacks UTF-8 support. Thus I went an other way to achieve that and it works perfectly also for TeX ;) But back to my suggestion. It often occurs to me that I'm to write a tiny paper, article or whatever about a piece of source code I wrote. For that purpose I often need doctohtml.rb with line numbering. Fine. But one thing I cannot do with it. If I write something about a piece of code between line 10 to 20 and I want to refer to line number in my text the default doctohtml.rb produces line numbers between 1 to 10. Due to that fact I thought it would be nice to have an option to produce relative line numbers. I modified doctohtml.rb a bit to achieve that. Here's the diff (also attached to that mail): --- untitled +++ (clipboard) @@ -189,10 +189,10 @@ return lines.join("\n") end -def number(str) +def number(str, rel_numbering = false) # number each line of input lines = str.split(/\n/) - n = 0 + n = (rel_numbering) ? ENV['TM_INPUT_START_LINE'].to_i - 1 : 0 lines.each do | line | n += 1 line.gsub!(/^(<\/span>)?/, "\\1<span class='linenum'>#{ sprintf("% 5d", n) }</span> ") @@ -255,7 +255,7 @@ end end - code_html = number(code_html) if opt[:line_numbers] + code_html = number(code_html, rel_numbering = opt [:relative_numbering]) if opt[:line_numbers] html << "<pre class=\"textmate-source" html << " #{theme_class}" unless theme_class.empty? By doing so one can call document_to_html like that: document_to_html( STDIN.read, {:relative_numbering => true, :line_numbers => true, :include_css => true } If one leaves the new option out the line numbering starts at 1. Hopefully this tiny improvement will be accepted soon ;) Thanks, --Hans

Silverlight Development?

by Sean Clark Hess

Hey everybody, don't ask why, but I have to do a small project in Silverlight :) I have read a couple of comments on blogs from Textmate users who are doing it, but the closest I've come to any kind of description on how to do it was from John Lam http://hex-dump.blogspot.com/2008/03/silverlight-2-sdk-mac-os-x-and-mono.ht… He's using mono to run chiron.exe in the Silverlight 2 Dynamic Language SDK. Is anyone doing it any differently? Thanks ~sean

How to install SVN_MERGE ?

by Cedric Simon

Hi, I don't know how to install SVN_MERGE, can you help me ? When I click on "Show available revisions for merging", I have this message : "Couldn't find svnmerge If you have installed svnmerge, then you need to either update your PATH or set the TM_SVNMERGE shell variable" I try with Svnmerge.py (http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py), and I added the path in shell variable, but it doesn't work.

Web Preview w/ PHP includes and CSS / images?

by Neil Lee

I'm sure this has been asked a number of times, but I can't seem to locate any answers after searching extensively through the list archives and online. I'm trying to get the web preview window to a) display relatively linked images and CSS files, and b) process all PHP includes referred to in the file. I've got the first one working by using Thomas Aylott's ruby script, but I can't seem to get the PHP includes working at the same time. Can anyone put me out of my misery and give me an idea of how to get this working? I've got TM_PROJECT_SITEROOT and TM_PROJECT_SITEURL set properly. Thanks! Neil

Moving tabs with the keyboard

by Nate Cavanaugh

Hi all, I know the tab overflow thing has been discussed quite a bit before, but I had a question that I couldn't seem to find the answer for. Is there any way to move tabs with a keyboard shortcut? I often have over 35 files open at a time as I work in a project on different tasks, but often I'll have about 15-20 of those spilled over into the overflow. The problem is, many times I'll have multiple tasks that overlap in file access, and I would like to move one tab next to another so I don't have to keep Command+Arrow-ing over multiple files (which often times I don't remember which ones are hidden behind the overflow, or what order). The only references I've heard to rearranging tabs is to use the mouse, but I didn't know if there is some hidden way to do this, or some other type of work around. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Moving-tabs-with-the-keyboard-tp18671843p18671843.html Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Is it possible to have more than one tab visible at once?

by Michael Larkin

I'd really love to be able to split the working area to allow side by side viewing of 2 documents. I've looked and looked through the documentation / posts / tutorials, and it seems like all that's available is navigating between tabs? Any ideas? Thanks!

Re: LaTeX label completion messed up by - (dash) (Evan Berkowitz)

by Max Lein

> The completion command picks the current word (rather, gets the > current word from textmate), looks that up and completes based on > that. In this case, since - and/or : are not considered word > characters, a label such as "here-is-a-label", if we are at "here- > is", will be completed as if it as only showing the "is" part. So TM > passes to the completion command the word "is", gets back the label > "here-is-a-label", and inserts it in place of "is", resulting in > "here-here-is-a-label". The quick fix from your side is to go to > Textmate -> Preferences -> Text Editing, and add whatever characters > you need in "Word Characters" box. You gain proper completion in this > case, but you lose alt+left/right moving you through each part. I see. The whole point of using the colon was, of course, the ability to navigate quickly via alt+left/right within the label/citation (e. g. to fix something or so). It's a pity the fix is difficult, autocompletion really rocks and has improved my workflow a lot. Now I just stop short of the first colon, but the list is usually not short (I'm into mathematical physics, so I have to label sections, theorems, formulas, etc.), so it would be nice to have. But if it's just not possible with the current methods, I guess we have to wait for the programmer to add what we want and need ... But in any case, thanks for the explanation. And I know now that this is a pet peeve of others as well and not just myself :-) > However, Ctrl+left/right should still do the right thing. Huh? Ctrl+left/right switches spaces on my system. Max

Re: LaTeX label completion messed up by - (dash) (Evan Berkowitz)

by Max Lein

I'm having the same problem, I prefer using colons to logically separate labels of any kind (including citations) so I can jump back and forth easier (with alt + left/right), but I'd always get duplicate parts. A fix would be much appreciated :-) Max
