[TxMt] Re: editing .profile, and others

Hi,

2008/11/29 Allan Odgaard mailinglist@textmate.org

Files without extension cannot be set to binary nor text. Instead a heuristic is used to decide if they are text, which is effectively if the first 1024 bytes are valid UTF-8 or alternatively, if the file creator is TxMt or (I think) type is text. The latter two things can be set with the SetFile shell command.

Thanks Allan. I used SetFile to set the owner to TxMt on the files in question (~/.alias ~/.bashrc ~/.profile ~/.inputrc ~/.screenrc) and it now works.

I still had a problem with .bashrc until I restarted TM. I guess it caches the file info the first time you open the file? It's working now anyway.

Thanks again

Jon
