Hi all,
I love a lot of things about TextMate - but I'm still having one major problem.
How can I edit multiple files straight from an FTP server in a single window? I use Transmit 3 - which lets you ctrl-click a file and "edit in" whatever. Then, when you save, it shoots the new file up to the server. However, I'm trying to figure out how to do this within one window - like when you're working on a "project". This works fine in BBEdit but in textmate it just won't work. It's probably the last thing that's holding me back from switching over completely...
Two options I use: * rsync [1] * use transmit's built in synchronize command

If you want to use TextMate through FTP, you can still use a project window with tabs.
#1 Open up your FTP add (I've used Cyberduck and Transmit) #2 Open a document from your FTP program into TextMate (cmd-j in the duck) #3 Find the temp folder that your FTP app uses to save the files you're editing (the duck uses /var/tmp/folders.503/TemporaryItems/ on my system) #4 Open that folder in TextMate #5 Close any FTPd files you're currently working on #6 Open a document from your FTP program into TextMate (cmd-j in the duck)
Your temp editing FTP files should now pop up as new tabs in textmate.
For extra slickness, you can save this project, stick the .tmproj in your dock or something and be ready to go at a moments notice !!!!

silly question - How?
You could use the command line tool fs_usage or a third party file system event logger.

command-click the filename in the title bar of the window.

thank you.
knew there'd be a simple way.
sadly the instructions given in the previous post, don't seem to work - transmit still opens a new window for each edit in TextMate file - it might be because it creates a new temp folder for each file - I tried going up a level and opening the parent folder in TextMate, but that didn't work either.
if anyone gets it working I'd be interested.
TIA
