You are not running this as a normal TextMate command?

no. from the shell.

this is what he wants.

i've got some handy alias.

alias cdf='cd "$(osascript ~/bin/scripts/cdf.scpt)"' # cd to current finder dir alias cdb='cd "$(osascript ~/bin/scripts/cdb.scpt)"' # cd to current textwrangler dir ...and so on.

i really want one for textmate, but i've found no way to do it. not having one for textmate is really throwing a kink in my shell workflow. i'm just about to write an applescript to change to textmate, system-event some obscure key combo, and switch back to terminal. please don't make me kludge.

a fix for the 'path of document' that's in the dictionary would work.

or, if it's easier to implement, have mate --pwd return textmate's current directory.

the mate --run-arbitrary-bit-of-a-bundle thing that's been discussed would do the trick, too. i suspect that's way in the future, though.

best editor ever, thanks.

-- this doesn't work: tell application "TextMate" set p to path of document 1 of window 1 POSIX path of p -- nothing end tell
