HI, i'm running into a little problem with leopard. The last update finds my "time machine" backups and tries to move / update that one. 11/18/07 10:36:08 PM [0x0-0x2dd2dd].com.macromates.textmate[5399] mv: rename /Volumes/TimeMachine/Backups.backupdb/username/ 2007-08-30-201019/Macintosh HD/Applications/TextMate.app to /Volumes/ TimeMachine/Backups.backupdb/username/2007-08-30-201019/Macintosh HD/ Applications/TextMate.old.app: Operation not permitted Luckily it fails .. but is it an apple issue or is it textmate ? Regards J.

Set temporary variables within macro

by Richard Blumberg

I'm trying to build a complicated macro to add a footnote to text selected in a document. There are two values that I need to maintain while the macro runs, so that those values can be inserted into the proper places within the links that the macro creates. The values are CURRENT_FN_NUMBER, a unique id I create with the shell date command; and CURRENT_FN_TITLE, which is the value of $TM_SELECTED_TEXT when the macro launches. I'd like to us those values to insert code into the document, e.g. At the beginning of the current paragraph: Replace selected text with: #fn{$CURRENT_FN_NUMBER} $CURRENT_FN_TITLE At bottom of document, just before "": #{CURRENT_FN_NUMBER} $CURRENT_FN_TITLE There's more to it than that, but you get the idea. The macro does a lot of jumping around within the document, setting and removing bookmarks as it goes. I've set CURRENT_FN_NUMBER and CURRENT_FN_TITLE as project environmental variables, but I can't figure out how to set values for those variables when the macro executes. I'm (obviously) new at this game; I'd appreciate help. Thanks.

Latex bundle TEXINPUTS problem / patch

by Louis Theran

I updated to the latest bundle, and I noticed that the texMate.py script has problems if included files aren't in the same directory as the main file.

Sorry!! Very off-topic but beautiful HTML trees

by Hans-Jörg Bibiko

Hi, maybe some of you don't know these wonderful tools to visualise HTML trees: Try out: http://www.aharef.info/static/htmlgraph/?url=http%3A%2F% 2Fwiki.macromates.com/Main/HomePage [You can reload it to get - sometimes - an other tree arrangement.] or http://www.baekdal.com/web2dna/?url=http%3A//wiki.macromates.com/Main/ HomePage&color=blue Or visit: http://flickr.com/photos/tags/websitesasgraphs/ Sorry for the noise ;) Cheers, --Hans

LaTeX package epsfig forces the use of latex instead of pdflatex?

by Juergen Arndt

Hello all, I use TextMate to create PDFs with LaTeX. I've configured TextMate to use pdflatex as the compile engine (TM_LATEX_COMPILER=pdflatex and the default engine in the LaTeX preferences is pdflatex too). That works fine. Today I had to use for some reason the package epsfig and TextMate ran everytime latex instead of pdflatex. Finally I forced the use of pdflatex with the "%!TEX TS-program = pdflatex" directive in the tex file. Is there an explanation for that behaviour and maybe a solution for that? (I found 3 postings here which are somehow related to that problem, but because I'm not an expert, I didn't get the clue, which might be in there.) Thanks for your attention Juergen -- Juergen Arndt

Fwd: Latex Bundle Useability (and patch)

by Peter Gerdes

So I'm working on writing up my (mathematical logic) thesis and I've been using textmate to do it. Unfortunately I've ran into some serious usability issues with the latex bundle in textmate and unsurprisingly have been wasting time trying to fix them. I figured I would post the issues to this list along with some of the hacks that seem to help for me and see if people who know more about the textmate stuff can help make this bundle more useable for intense mathematics. First of all I'm attaching a simple patch for PyTeXdoc.py so it queries kpsewhich to look for included/inputed files if it fails to find them. Since I keep some general purpose includes in my tex directory this makes a difference. Note that this is patched from the tree updated earlier today. Now for some harder issues that I can only gesture at solving. Useability Issues: 1) Typing commands inside $$ causes wacky highlighting flip-flops. Often I will be editing an existing tex file and need to add something like $\Gamma_{\alpha+1}(\sigma)\concat\tau$. This causes issues since you have to pass through $$ $\$, $\Gamma_{\}$ and $ \Gamma_{\alpha+1}(\sigma)\concat\$ on the way each of which flips the syntax highlighting for the ENTIRE rest of the document. Not only is this annoying it causes unacceptable slowdowns as the rest of the doc is rehighlighted. My personal collection of hacks to deal with this problem is as follows (some of these are old so i apologize if it was fixed in the bundle and I missed it): a) Elimate the $$ $$ notation for display math. It is considered bad form to use the old $$ $$ approach rather than the new \[ \] notation. I realize doing something like this would be controversial in the default language grammar but I'd rather have the right way of doing things be useable rather than correctly hightlighting the wrong way. But maybe there is another way to deal with the issue. b) Require $ to be escaped as {\$}. Once again not a good general solution but for me this works since I rarely use a real dolsign. Perhaps a better trick would be to require this weird special escaping only when in math mode. Once again I'm puzzled about how to do this correctly but as it stands it causes serious problems. c) I used to have problems with $\Gamma_{\}$ letting the braces spill over but it is either fixed now I or I changed something locally I don't remember. 2) Typing { when the caret is before a slash causes smart typing pairs to insert {\} instead of {} because it thinks we are trying to escape the {. This can be fixed by changing the match for constant.character.escape.tex to start with a positive backref of (?<= \\) instead of just (\\). It seems weird to me that having a caret in front of the string causes it to be grabbed but go figure. 3) Often I need to insert math inside an already written paragraph. So I start with a line like If $x$ is a blah then blah2 and need to fix it to If $x$ is a blah and $math stuff$ then blah2 which one naturally does by simply putting the caret in front of the t in then and starting to type. Unfortunately the smart typing pairs for $ fail to activate when you are in front of a character. I have no idea why this is (seems to work for {) but the best fix I could come up with was a hack to define meta.in-front-of-char.latex and create a snippet for this situation assigning it to $. If I knew how to insert true smart typing pairs from a snippet (or command) a general purpose solution that works could be found. On the other hand probably anyone who knows textmate well enough will see how to do this in an elegant fashion. 4) SPEED This is a big one. Frequently I will type a long paragraph filled with many many math commands and my powerbook G4 1Ghz will slow enough to make typing difficult if I am inserting anything inside the paragraph. If I actually hard wrap the lines this stops happening but since textmate doesn't support hard wrapping well this isn't really an option. I noticed in the language definition there are many syntax elements (like meta.function.embedded.java.latex) whose matches begin with something like: (?:\s*)((\\)begin) ..... I can't figure out what sense this makes at all. Why match the spaces if they can just happen anywhere in the line? Maybe I am just missing something obvious and I'm deluding myself but when I changed these all to (?:^ \s*)((\\)begin) .... everything seemed to keep working and things seemed to speed up considerably. Then again maybe it was an unrelated bundle update. Still before I keep screwing with this I figured I would toss this out there and see if it was a well known problem. ------------------ Sorry to describe the changes I made rather than giving a bunch of patches but the normal bundle development model just won't work for me. I change a bunch of stuff for my personal use (like some of the hacks above) so I need to keep the ~/Library/Application Support/ Textmate directory for my own personal modifications. If someone could tell me an easy way to produce a diff of the changes I've made here with the actual bundle maybe I could be more helpful. Anyway thanks to the author(s) of the latex bundle for all the work they've put in so far. Hopefully this was helpful an not just useless bitching. Peter

how can I enforce new-file-dialog ?

by Roberto Saccon

When was creating a new file from template I got a dialog where I could set the filename. Then strange things happened ... and now I just get automatically created a new file called untitled each time I want to create a new file. How can I enforce the dialog ? (changing [Preferences >> General >> Untitled Documents] doesn't seem to affect this.) regards -- Roberto Saccon http://rsaccon.com

easy Erlang compiling

by Roberto Saccon

I just wrote my first TextMate custom command, for compiling erlang source code and showing hyperlinked errors (if there are any) in a HTML popup. More information, download and screencast at: http://www.rsaccon.com/2007/11/easy-erlang-compiling-with-textmate.html As scripting language for the command I am using Erlang escript. regards -- Roberto Saccon http://rsaccon.com
