How does mate work if TM2 is moved/renamed? Is it finding the location of the app in a plist somewhere?<div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 7:40 PM, Allan Odgaard <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:mailinglist@textmate.org" target="_blank">mailinglist@textmate.org</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

&gt; Is there a reason TextMate copies mate into the user&#39;s $PATH instead of just making a symlink to the command inside the Application&#39;s resources?<br>
<br>
</div>The original reason was that mate was copied from the bundle support folder, which I didn’t feel was a good destination for a symlink.<br>
<br>
But another reason is to have ‘mate’ still work if user rename or move TextMate.app.<br>
<br>
Didn’t happen a lot with 1.x (which uses a symlink) but it did happen, and it seemed like a lot of users rename the alphas to “TextMate 2”.<br>
<br>
TextMate 2 will keep the installed ‘mate’ executable up-to-date. So nothing is really gained by the symlink (other than maybe satisfying an aesthetic preference).<br>
