"Save As" Renaming Bug - any hope for the future?

by Chip Cullen

I have been running into a problem with Textmate that for me, anyway, is a major hurdle. When I'm editing an HTML document, and I'm using Textmate's project drawer, I often want to use the open document as a basis for other documents. I go to "Save As..." and name the file, and hit enter. In almost every other Mac OS X program that I know, that command simply creates a new document with the old document as the starting point. However, with Textmate's project drawer, the old file has essentially been renamed by the new one. I have to go back and re-add the old file to have it show up in the Project drawer again. I have searched the archives of the Textmate list, and one other person has mentioned it - about a year ago. Some of the suggestions included hiding the program and bringing it back, re-booting the program, hiding the drawer - nothing works at all for me. I can't even drag the old files form the finder, I have to go to FIle>Add. So my question is: is there any hope for this bug to be resolved? Are there any other fixes that I may not be aware of? I dunno - I would think this would be a rather glaring problem that more people would be clamoring to have fixed. I'm not a hardcore coder or anything - just someone who writes his own HTML. It just seems sort of... well, primary. I do appreciate the power that Textmate has, and I can understand how useful it can be to people's workflows. But every time I try to "get into" it, something basic like this comes up as a roadblock and puts me off from wanting to use it. (See my old discussion about the Open Document in Running Browser command, which sadly still does absolutely nothing) I want to love Textmate, I really do. Just any help at all would be appreciated. BTW: I'm on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.4.9 and using Textmate build 1.5.5/1368

Documentation broken for Ruby in latest build

by Dave Baldwin

Just noticed that getting documentation on a Ruby method (control H) in TM 1.5.5. 1383 now gives an error: web_preview.rb:70 in 'html_head' : undefined method '+' for nilClass This was working for me on earlier TM versions and I haven't changed anything in my Ruby setup for a long time. Dave.

Newbie - turn off hyperlink underlining?

by J. Simon van der Walt

I've just been trying TextMate, trying to move away from TextEdit and TextWrangler. One thing which is really bugging me is the way it underlines hyperlinks on the 'Plain Text' setting. If I wanted that kind of behaviour I'd use Microsoft Word! Is there a way I can set it up so that plain text is exactly that, completely plain vanilla typing? Thanks, -- J.

tm_dialog and really long plists

by Brett Terpstra

Is there a limit to the size of a plist for tm_dialog? If so, is there a workaround? I think I'm hitting a limit, if I take this shell escaped output and manually trim it, I can run it as a shell script that seems alright: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/encoding.rb:22: command not found: / Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/PlugIns/Dialog.tmplugin/Contents/ Resources/tm_dialog -mp \<\?xml\ version\=\"1.0\"\ encoding\=\"UTF-8 \"\?\>' '\<\!DOCTYPE\ plist\ PUBLIC\ \"-//Apple\ Computer//DTD\ PLIST\ 1.0//EN \"\ \"http\://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd\"\>' '\<plist\ version\=\"1.0\"\>' '\<dict\>' ' \<key\>photosets\</key\>' ' \<array\>' [...hugefrickin'SNIP...] ' \<key\>title\</key\>' ' \<string\>Vista\ Point\</string\>' ' \</dict\>' ' \</array\>' '\</dict\>' '\</plist\>' ' select_photoset /tmp/temp_textmate.1kkRWq:88:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 4: syntax error: unexpected end of filecall' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ progress.rb:36:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of filecall' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ progress.rb:49:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of filefork' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ progress.rb:47:in /bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/bash: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of filedialog' from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ progress.rb:40:in

HTML Bundle in Version 1.5.5 (1383)

by Philip Plante

Hello, I noticed that my TextMate updated this morning to Version 1.5.5 (1383). Along with this came a new feature in the HTML Bundle which I have found is causing me some annoyances. The feature I am talking about is in response to ticket 20CC5FF4. I am using PHP with Smarty as my template engine, and previously I would include  in my code to escape Smarty parsing on script blocks. Now when I do this the entire block of code becomes commented out. While this is not a crucial bug it is a new annoyance for me as it is very useful to have syntax highlighting on script blocks. Here is an example of my code:  <script language="javascript"> function foo() { return "bar"; } </script>  If you require more information please just let me know. If anyone has any idea how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. --- Philip Plante 913-302-9933 mail(a)pplante.com

Spell checking using Google

by Andy Herbert

Yesterday on the TextMate irc channel the [gSpell service for OSX][1] was mentioned, which is a fairly neat way of spell checking (more details on the gSpell homepage.) I decided to try and simulate the service as a TextMate command which takes a selection and looks up the most reasonable alternative with Google. [The tmCommand is Available here.][2] [1]: http://nspindel.com/gspell/ [2]: http://homepage.mac.com/andy.herbert/.Public/Check%20Spelling% 20Using%20Google.tmCommand

selecting all text cause Find text to fail (in finding string)

by Artie Ziff

Hello, Is it reasonable to have a 'find string' fail only because I happened to have all the text selected in the document window? Changing the selection text back to an ibar cursor seems to have made the sought after string to be found without any other changes to the contents of the document. That seems to have been my experience however I have not re-examined this to be sure. Cheers AZ

The point is that s="Fähre" s.length returns 6 not 5. I tried > to set $KCODE = 'UTF-8' in the script but it doesn't work. Take a look at the new Rails Multibyte character support, I think they tackled this problem already and the patches might point you in the right direction. Hell, you might be able to swipe their string extensions outright ;) - Ben

Comments automatically continued to next line?

by Andrew Durdin

Hello, After a recent update (I'm not sure which one) to TextMate, I'm finding that every time I write a comment in Python: # whatever and press Return at the end of the line, that TextMate is filling in "# " at the start of the next line. This is really getting in my way, and I'd like to turn it off -- but I can't find which trigger is responsible for this. I thought at first it'd be the "Continue Line Comment" snippet in the Source bundle, but that triggers on Enter. Is there any way to find out which command/snippet is responsible for this without going through all bundles one by one? Andrew

Re: Re: [TxMt] 'Save As' Renaming Bug - any hope for the future?

by Simon Gregory

>Thanks. I like the --with-file, but the --with-directory could get >annoying if you regularly want to save copies to a different >directory. Duplicating to the same directory is my most common use case. However there's always scope for both, ie adding the second version to shift-apple-D. If I remember correctly then --with-file will only work when --with-directory is specifed.
