Q: Is there a way to disable the automatic update of the Project Drawer? Since I'm editing files that are located on a slow network drive (DAV) it takes several seconds before TextMate becomes responsive when I tab back to it.
And the answer:
A: You can create a static (thus non-updating) project by dragging files (instead of folders) to the project drawer.
A script to create a (static) tmproj file from a folder can be found here (save as build_project.sh and chmod a+x build_project.sh and run it like so ./build_project.sh myfolder/ > myproject.tmproj).
I could do, yes - but I'd like to see new files that arrive via svn up without manually adding them to the project.
Another workaround is to use a desktop manager program which allows you to have multiple desktops, which prevent an application from losing focus which switching.
OK, that answers my question about whether that works :)
Do we need Allan to spend time coming up with a fix for 1.5 or would we rather his time be spent toward 2.0? I vote for the latter. :-)
You present that as a clear either-or choice - which it may not be. It might be possible for Allan to add an option to switch on manual project updates in just an hour or so - maybe less. Also it might be that if Allan devoted some time to this he'd have code he could use in 2.0. I'm speculating of course - but then so are you :)
