Am I right in assuming that you'd be able to run that command periodically to get all this stuff out of textmate through the plugin without interrupting your workflow?
Yes.
What I've always wanted to be able to do is have an HTML Output window open and have it constantly update with all the TM_ variables. There's lots of stuff that you could use that for.
This is no problem. Do you mean something like this: http://email.eva.mpg.de/~bibiko/dt/TMvars_lifeupdate.mov (ca. 812k)
Where is the code for this or is it all just theory at this point?
On my Mac yet ;) Each mentioned command works. The 'only' thing to do is to CLEAN UP the code, make the syntax consistent, add some error and exception handlings.
Oh yeah, that's awesome! Imagine the possibilities!
;P
Might it make sense to incorporate some of this stuff in the new Dialog 2? Ideally I'd like to make stuff with this that other people can use and expect them to have this stuff available by default.
Well, I do believe the new DIALOG is the wrong place. DIALOG is a plug-in for showing interactive dialogs to users. The TMTOOLS stuff belong to an other story.
The new DIALOG will come out with an API using an other syntax. I think it would be the best to wait for DIALOG's final syntax. After that we can incorporate this syntax to TMTOOLS, and maybe it will become a default plug-in. If there's a real interest of such a TMTOOLS plug-in I will clean the code. Then we can put this plug-in to a new svn branch and improve it together. Furthermore we have to wait for Allan's opinion on that whether it makes sense because the entire code depends FULLY on Allan's code!
