This would be for 1.x. The nib will bind to the program’s user defaults, which is `~/Library/Preferneces/«app-identifier».plist`. In 2.0 we have introduced the `TM_APP_IDENTIFIER` variable that should be used to access this file.

E.g. to read the LaTeX bundle’s ‘Viewer’ setting, from shell:

 defaults read "$TM_APP_IDENTIFIER" latexViewer

And from ruby:

 require "#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/osx/plist"

 settings_path =

"#{ENV['HOME']}/Library/Preferences/#{ENV['TM_APP_IDENTIFIER'] || 'com.macromates.textmate'}.plist" settings = open(settings_path) { |io| OSX::PropertyList.load(io) }

 puts settings['latexViewer']

...

and subsequently queried with tm_query.

The `TM_QUERY` tool is for querying settings set in `.tm_properties` files.

Cool! Didn't know about that functionality.
