Hi,
Are there any known issues with TM and saving files that needs authorization to view/edit?
I opended /etc/hosts with sudo from the cmdline, and TM doesn't seem to want to save the changes, no error, it just remains unsaved.

Authenticated saves are on the to do for one of the upcoming versions.

It should beep, but that's it -- this will be improved!
Using something like: "sudo open -a TextMate <file>" will not cause TM to run with super user privileges.
Kind regards Allan

In this same vein... Need an 'open hidden file' command, or either a checkbox in the open dialog to show hidden files. The latter with the choice being sticky might be nice.
In 10.3 there is no public interface for displaying hidden files, I read at CocoaDev that it was removed in favor of the "press Cmd-Shift-G to get a string gadget"
But I'll check if some of the undocumented/private methods (still) work.
Kind regards Allan

What will work, though, is using this fabulous program called Pseudo:

With that you can launch any GUI application as root.
.Of course native support for this in TextMate is even better, but until then, you might want to give Pseudo a shot. -- David Heinemeier Hansson, http://www.rubyonrails.org/ -- Web-application framework for Ruby http://www.instiki.org/ -- A No-Step-Three Wiki in Ruby http://macromates.com/ -- TextMate: Code and markup editor for OS X http://www.basecamphq.com/ -- Web-based Project Management http://www.loudthinking.com/ -- Broadcasting Brain http://www.nextangle.com/ -- Development & Consulting Services
