Based on suggestions from Allan I've revised the Fetch Categories command to work with a multi-select menu (using osascript). You can now just choose multiple categories at once and it will insert the text "Category: your_category" for each selected item. Once again, this is only tested with Wordpress on my end, so I'm curious to hear if it works with other blogging software.

This was on my todo list to have a go at writing sometime in october. Now I can cross it off and finally can use just TM to blog! (I used to have to go into TM to refresh my mind on which categories I have.)

Thanks Brett!

Here's a fix. Sorry about that, I'm still fumbling with the XMLRPC interface. I set up a second blog for testing and got 3 dialogs, just like you. I think I had it going through the endpoint procedure for the blog_id, username and password, each. It should pull all the information just once now. It also now correctly recognizes a cancel command from the multi-select menu.

Does anyone know why you sometimes get a beachball cursor when the menu comes up and sometimes you don't? By that I mean that the beachball doesn't go away, you can actually click your choices with it. I'd like to prevent that if I can.

Thanks, Brett

For some strange reason, the dialog to choose the blog appears three

times (I

have 3 blogs in my setup file)

Would fix it myself, but I'm still in Ruby

infancy :D

BTW, thanks for a killer

bundle...

This is because TM is actually responding to events while running the command which in turn opens the AppleScript dialog.

That would normally mean no busy wheel at all, but that’s not good UI, e.g. for commands which takes a long time to run. So TextMate will activate the wheel cursor itself if the command has been running for 3 seconds *and* did not bring up any dialogs.

So the busy wheel will appear when it takes more than 3 seconds to reach the first dialog of the command. I can increase the delay to 5 or maybe 7 seconds.

No, don't increase the delay just because I write commands that take ridiculously long times to run, assuming a 3 second delay is working for everything else.

No, it comes up for a few other commands as well, mostly only the first time the command is executed (where “resources” needs to be loaded from disk).

I don't suppose there's a cursor command in Applescript that lets you set the cursor or override the busy wheel?

I am not aware of any. But come to think of it, I could actually poll the state of open dialogs every half second or so, after I have activated the busy wheel, and disable it again, if a dialog window opens.

Woohoo! I'm a contributor!

Thanks, Brett

I have now added this version to the blogging bundle (and removed the old category snippet).

I made it sort the list of category names and then I did minor code changes which have no functional value ;)
