I have a .tm_properties file in the root of my working directory, but it is not being read. Font and size is just being ignored. Anyone else had this?
Several people are having this issue.
I am unaware of users who can’t get it working, but some problems that users may run into:
1. If there is a syntax error in the file, it will be ignored. If this is the case, there will be errors in Console. The parser is presently very fragile, e.g. ‘=’ must be surrounded by spaces, strings with special characters must be quoted, etc.
2. Not all settings can be applied to file types (i.e. [ *.foo ]). This is just a temporary limitation which will likely be lifted in an upcoming build.
3. A setting for a scope (e.g. [ text.html ]) has higher priority than one for a file extension (e.g. [ *.html ]) regardless of where in the hierarchy the .tm_properties file is placed — this has been a gotcha since the default .tm_properties under TextMate.app enables soft wrap for the text scope.
