1) I'd like the indication(s) that a file has unsaved changes to be more
visible.
I think that the first release just indicated this by changing the
'saturation' of the icon in the file browser. The new beta release seems
to have brought the 'dot' back to the tabs, but it's still hard for to see
with the eyes of someone who has been programming for 40+ years.
While I'm on the subject of unsaved changes, one of my fears is that
Apple's new approach to versioned files, while it might work well for
things like word processors and spreadsheets and the like will be a
disaster for editors used for programming. I want to have control over
WHEN changes to a file are visible outside of the editor. I use things
like guard to automatically do things like running tests when I save a
file, and I don't want the editor (or OS X) deciding when a file should be
saved.
So I'd like to have TM2 either not do autosaving, or allow it to be
turned off.
2) I was hoping that TM2 would treat text insertions/replacements as a
whole to be the unit of undo. (Like TextEdit does). One of my long term
gripes with TM1 is that I have to hit Cmd-Z ones for EACH keystroke. I
hope that this is just something that the developer(s) haven't yet gotten
to.
3) I see that someone pointed out the lack of highlighting the selected
line. This is one of those things which my old eyes need help with. I do
notice that the latest beta is highlighting the selected line number(s) in
the gutter, which I might get used to.
Thanks for finally getting Avian out into the light of day!

I've imported the SCSS TM1 bundle (https://github.com/kuroir/SCSS.tmbundle.git) to TM2, and .scss files load correctly as source.scss files. However, I do not have access to the CSS bundle's snippets when editing an SCSS file.
I worked around this on TM1 by adding source.scss as a scope selector for EVERY snippet in the bundle, which took an absolute age — and the multilevel design of the TM2 bundle editor means it's probably going to take even longer!
Adding .scss to the file types for the CSS bundle means I lose the use of the SCSS bundle with these, as .scss files now show up as source.css rather than source.scss. (Incidentally, when I hit the + button under file types, should the cursor not go to the just-added entry so I can start typing the extension? As it stands, TM2 just adds a blank line and it looks like nothing happened…)
What I really want is a way to cascade definitions in the bundle editor — to set up SCSS files in the SCSS bundle so that they get all the benefits of being source.scss AND source.css.
Is this even possible? Hacking the CSS bundle seems like an ugly and labour-intensive way of doing this…
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry i don't know how to do for reply to a topic in the textmate digest,
But i would like to tell you about slow things on TM2, i have found a issue
:
Open textmate on a directory where there is more than 5 or 6 folder do not
expand them on the file browser try to open file with ⌃T, all working fine
and fast, now expand directory you have now like 30-40 folder maybe more,
double clic on a file or just ⌃T a new file and see what's append take like
0.5sec to open and be parse, and more if you open more file, i think it's
because the file browser search the file to add the little cross on the
right to close it.
Maybe this can help or not :D
Sorry for my english i'm french :)
... but has the annoying nag message:
`/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/tm/process.rb
:194: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local in PATH, mode 040777`
every time you run a script been fixed in TextMate 2 (can't upgrade at the
moment, too busy)?
Cheers,
Phil...

Nothing to see here... move along, move along
Can I please suggest we have the option to position the navigation bar in the
file browser at the bottom? Aesthetically, I think this would look much
better, besides being what I'm used to in TM1. I will never use the
backwards and forwards buttons, because I open other projects in a new TM
window. If I did traverse multiple projects/files in the one TM session, I
could see how having the nab bar at the top would make sense; but since
there is no way to tell which folder an open file belongs to except by
floating over the tab, it makes it quite confusing.
Also the icons in the navigation bar the final version? I find them a little
fuzzy.

Tab Bar - Position
I think the tab bar should be placed only above the right-hand edit pane,
not above the file browser sidebar. This would mean that the file browser
would be the full-height of the window.
I think this would make more visual sense...
The tabs relate to the files open in the edit pane, so should be attached to
this part of the screen, not sneaking out over to the left. Also, when the
sidebar is opened/closed the tabs would always be above the edit pane,
whatever the state of the sidebar.
Tab Bar - Text Colour
The non-selected tabs are quite hard to read (with black text on a dark grey
background). Maybe a lighter text colour would be clearer
File Browser and Gutter - Theme
Please allow the file browser and the gutter (containing the line numbers)
to have an optional dark 'theme' - the white/light grey background is quite
jarring when you're using a dark theme for the editor
Indentation Level Markers
It would be great to have some indication of the current indent level (to
help line things up vertically).
(Sublime Text 2 does this really nicely, with feint, visible lines
indicating the indent levels, that brighten in the area that the cursor is
positioned in - thus being both subtle and visibly useful when editing an
area of text)
Regards
SC

Hello,
I follow the instruction at http://blog.macromates.com/2011/locating-bundles/ to get my fav Wombat theme working. I have done exactly as the #Converting a Theme section describes.
I didn't get it to work as the theme is not showing in View - Themes.
Any idea on what I am doing wrong?
In case you need to look at the theme, it's here ​Wombat.tmtheme (http://ttanh.us/3n1c3e2T0V001r133B3s)
Thank you in advance.

Hello guys!
I recently switched to os x from ubuntu and now I miss a gedit's like
autocompletion. It shows a popup with suggestions along with typing without
pressing some special keys and it's really comfortable. The way it finds
suggestion is similar to textmate's. It show all possible variants found in
current open documents sorted by distance from current position.
I was roaming over internet for a few hours and couldn't actually find how
to archive something like this in textmate.
Is it possible? Maybe there's some ready to use bundle?
I had this same issue, it results from pasting the script into your
terminal window which will sometimes cause newlines to be inserted before
the end of a long line. Use sftp or something to upload the file rather
than pasting it and you should be fine.

Turns out that this was a problem with my version not liking
the --ignore-submodules=dirty flag that Textmate was using in its git diff
command to find files to flag. Updating the version of git to the latest
with the marvellous homebrew did the trick.
I think this flag was brought in in version 1.7.2 of git.May be worth
listing as a requirement.
Liking what I see of TM2 so far.
