I don't think there's a default multi-select nib for tm_dialog yet, is there? I used one that I had already created for this, so if it's out of place please switch it out. This should be up to date with the latest specs, the DIALOG environment variable and the previous fallback mods to the cat command. The nib is included and should reside in the nibs folder in the same bundle folder as blogging.rb.
Thanks, Brett

There is not, no -- at some point we should figure out what dialog types we need and then do some generic nibs for these :)

Heh… yeah, I’d say it is a little out of place -- it’s not that it’s bad looking, just not conforming to my non-metal fetish ;)

Thanks, I’ll change the dialog to look more “boring” and commit it one of the days.

I've already started writing that list. :) The following nibs might be good first steps for someone who wants to get their feet wet with tm_dialog and/or contributing generally to TextMate:
• generic list/single-column text table dialog (the aforementioned "default multi-select nib") • generic get-string dialog • alert with scrollable text view
These are needed, in the sense that they're being used by existing bundles, but provided in somewhat suboptimal form by AppleScript and CocoaDialog. (It would be nice if some Objective-C could be written so that the alert could autoresize to the size of the text, but CocoaDialog's doesn't, AFAIK.)
Other things that would be highly useful but require new Objective-C code:
• Tooltips should be accessible from tm_dialog (or, better, an autoresizing HUD window). • To allow CocoaDialog to be removed, tm_dialog should provide file open/save dialogs. • HTML to RTF transformer -- WebKit has no bindings. One could instead use this to display some basic HTML (while waiting for Leopard). • Markdown to RTF transformer.
