Hi all,
I am having a problem getting started
with tm_dialog. I followed the instructions (intro_to_tm_dialog.mov
-- http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2006/10/28/new-dialog-system-for-commands/
) but the first error I found was this:
> tm_dialog
/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/tm_dialog:
line 5: /bin/tm_dialog_v5: No such file or directory
( In this 20 seconds I learned the ctrl-R
- whoa KICK BUTT!! -- but sadly `which tm_dialog` didn't work (strange
tm_dialog worked)..)
The script was easy so I just will use
tm_dialog_v5, but then the following error occurred. Upon simply creating
an empty nib and attempting to use tm_dialog with it I get the following
error:
> tm_dialog_v5 ~/Desktop/test.nib
tm_dialog: you have updated
the Dialog plug-in to v8 but the tm_dialog tool is still at v5
Since the movie ended abruptly I figured
someone has a working example buried in the TM application. I dug
into the SharedBundles and started looking around hoping to find a completion
to the movie - or a bunch of people who have created some nibs. I
only found 10. (Uh-oh) Doing some digging I can't seem to find any
code which calls a nib other than the subversion example but I don't understand
how that works - it doesn't appear to actually call it (i.e It doesn't
ever seem to do a tm_dialog??) So I am left with a bunch of questions
I hope you experts can help me with.
1. How can I get tm_dialog v8
or how do I get this to work as is?
2. Can someone give me a crude
example of how to call a nib from a bundle command and use it's output?
3. When creating a nib I want
to get a password from a user - how do I obfuscate the input?
4. How can I store that password
so I can use it in other functions within the bundle?
5. There was mention of a python
property list parser - does anyone know how this works with tm_dialog (example
would be great), where it is and how to use it?
Thanks a lot from A paying customer
- who just bought the book too!!
