I've got an idea to make it possible to have a "Send to TextMate" and "Edit in TextMate" in a browser window, the first being to send a text block to TextMate the second to send text and allow saving the changes back to the server. Trying to think of how best to make this possible. So far I've got three possibilities:
- A browser plugin that takes control of a new MIME type and when
a link is clicked the mime type is sent and the plugin saves the file to /tmp and then opens it with a helper application that takes over. Issue being the complexity of using a plugin and compatibility between browsers. Also that it takes changes on the server-side in reguards to MIME types.
If you are willing to mess with the server anyway, you might consider checking out webdav. That would allow you to mount (parts of) the server as a filesystem in Finder, though no support for file permissions.
