What's this about the Dialog2 bundle... and what's this I hear about a public AppleScript API for textmate (as mentioned in a commit to the Dialog2 bundle)?
Dialog2 is just v2 of Dialog1 :)
The major difference is that it is modular, so syntax is “$DIALOG «command» «options»” where v1 had all parts share the same options, making it a pain to extend (and made all the patches I received touch all files rather than just be a self-contained extension).
Making it modular of course means that contributions are made simpler, so V2 has HTML tool-tips and type-to-filter pop-up menus (ideal for completion).
As for AppleScript, TextMate effectively just support a single command in addition to a few standard suite things.
Can someone enlighten me and possibly post a link, or two? I'd like to learn about Dialog2, specifically if it can help with the git bundle.
Checkout http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/branches/WIP/Tools/Dialog2/ somewhere, open one of the source files in TextMate and press ⌘B to build it (or use Xcode :) ).
Relaunch TextMate and execute (with ⌃R in a new document): "$DIALOG" help
This should show help for the presently 6 commands.
I'm really interested to know if any of the following are possible: [...]
No, don’t think you will find much help in D2 for the Git bundle.
I see the value of your (implicit) requests though :)
