Hi there,
I have been to Ryan van Barneveld's Blog downloading ie-preview.app in order to install it on my Leopard/Textmate/Parallels set up. (http://www.ryanvb.com/ie-preview/)
I cant manage to do properbly as I dont know how 'activate' the sharing folders for windows. I cant find such an option (Windows Sharing) in the preference pane.
Quote from his website: ----------------------------------- 1) In the Sharing panel of System Preferences, turn on Windows Sharing and note your Computer Name
2) Be sure to test your Windows Sharing by going into Windows XP through Parallels, opening a file explorer window and typing your computer name into the address bar preceded by two backslashes.
eg. type \MyMacBook, hit enter and you should see your Mac files -----------------------------------
I also dont want to mess up sharing options - not knowing what to do exactly but only trying - in order to keep my laptop 'privat' in public places.
Could anybody help please?
------------------------------ Thanks in advance! Dennis

That article is very old. I never really got his solution working for me, but now I have a much simpler setup that works great. I recommend going to Parallels for info on setting up sharing between the machines.
But right now I can just drag any file onto the IE6 icon and it opens. With the latest version of Parallels they have smartselect or whatever that handles it all for you.
I'm going to blog about my specific testing setup again soon. It'll have much more detailed info on setting up a really killer Web Dev environment.

Hi Thomas,
... I have a much simpler setup that works great.
what would that be?

shure this works.
I actually open an instance of IE6 in Coherence Mode and drop the HTML there. anytime I edited the source fpr specific IE-compability, I switch back to IE via Spaces or [CMD+Tab] and simply reload by [CMD + R]
But I like the idea to manage this directly from Textmate, to have IE fully integrated. Besides that windows would be brought in front automatically, so there is less hassle for the preview.
With the latest version of Parallels they have smartselect or whatever that handles it all for you.
smart select means, you can set Windows applications as a default to any file-typpe. doing so in this case, would mean that any HTML will be opened in IE6, what I definitly do not want :0)

In that case you can probably use
open -a 'Internet Explorer' «filename»
to open it in IE. As a TM command (to preview the current file in IE6) that would be
open -a 'Internet Explorer' "$TM_FILEPATH"
Hi Ciarán,
I tried your command with selecting 'input: none' and 'output:discard' in the bundle editor.
yes, it works ... slightly as it is not supposed to do:
I have 3 VMs on my machine:
- BootCamp / Windows XP / IE6 - Parallels HDD / Windows XP / IE6 - Parallels HDD / Windows Vista / IE7
When I put that command into Bundle Editor, only the second (HDD with Windows XP) was already running:
When I ran that command the first time, the BootCamp installation of Windows XP started to boot. I let it go ...
When I ran the command the second time, the VM with Vista started to boot (... on top). I still let it go ...
Also, it seems TM opens everytime a new window instance of IE6 or IE7. (depending wich VM has been last active one)
So, either there has to be some conflict with 'doubled entries' in Parallel's smart selector, And/or there is something to be done on the parameters of the command.
Any ideas?
Thanks in regard!
