Beta 4 is out -- to those of you who got the beta 3 w/o bundles and therefor installed these as user/local bundles, I'd recommend removing these, since updated defaults won't show otherwise (but new defaults will).

b4 has some really cool features, including the one you can see at Allan's blog movie.
I particularly wanted to try the new PDF Latex command. However, I had to go through some trouble to make mine work. Here is what I did... your mileage may vary.
(1) I downloaded Schubert's PDF Browser Plugin at http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/
(2) I needed to disable my Adobe PDF Plugin. I ran the new PDFLatex command with it, and it popped up a window demanding to find an Adobe Reader and then the command never displayed PDF. (Man, Adobe has really gone down the tubes in quality... little editorial). So for me, I did a
trash /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
using the 'trash' command from osxutils http://osxutils.sourceforge.net/
(3) I also had to tell TM to stop using the Adobe PDF plugin, which I could only do by nuking the preferences at ~/Library/Preferences/com.macromates.textmate.plist
(4) I also had to update my pdflatex installation from 7.5.2 to 7.5.3 which I did using the i-Installer to install the latest TeX build.
That got it working. It's pretty neat!
One bonus warning.
(5) for the moment, HTML output windows become unresponsive if you click on a non-existent link. (E.g. the current version of "Man...") You can still close them though.

Hi!
Something's wrong with the file chooser (Apple+T) imho. When I type "app_" for example it won't find "app_controller.rb". But if I type "appl" it'll find "app_controller.rb" and "application_controller.rb". It seems it doesn't treat the "_" in the proper way?

+1 (similar)
when I type a "." it fails to match any files. I don;t know if this is intended, but I have many files named as follows job.action.php job.model.php job.validator.php and I can't use command+T to distiinguish between them.
(Love the HTML output though!)

This could be a bug, but the idea in general is not to type a prefix of the file you want to find, but some characteristic letters. For job.model.php you could type jm or jmp or mod. For app_controller.rb try ac or acr or con or something like that.

Brilliant! Didn't realise the algorthim was that good (duh - I guess I should have when Allan said he donated to quicksilver). I wonder how many other things I am missing out on because of my diminished expectations...?

Actually Nicholas (QS author) also “complained” about the preference toward abbreviations instead of full substring matching ;)
I'll make it detect substring-typing better and also make sure that entering punctuation doesn't lead to a non-match.
But the idea is indeed that one should enter an abbreviation and not the actual full filename.
I really like the new icon on 1.1b4. I found the previous PurpleBlob icon really stood out (unnaturally ) on the Dock and when Cmd-Tabbing.
Good work!

I completely agree!

I also agree that the new icon is an improvement over the previous. But I must say that Ethan Dunham's icon on the wiki is really nice too.

The new icon is good, but it's too close in theme to SubEthaEdit. So given the choice right now I think I'd have to go with Ethan's GEAR icon. It's simple, fits the OS X look, looks good at small sizes, and is well-designed and rendered.
My only criticism is that the use of the 'T' initial seems a bit trite. Nonetheless, the icon is bold and works well at small size, and I'm having difficulty thinking of anything else that would be better in that context.
The one upside of the original too-busy robot icon was that it effectively conveyed the automated yet friendly nature of TextMate.

As I once said, every can and does have an opinion about icons... and I am also currently using Ethan's purple gear.
Note that there is a free contextual menu that I use to copy my old icon from the last TM to the new TM here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11740
Also note, I had a fantasy of writing a little command that would switch icons for TM. But then real life intruded on my time...

I have to admit, I also thought about doing this, although I imagined it as merely an integrated graphical picker for Jon's six-flavor icons, so that you could choose your flavor. I like the b4 icon, though, quite a bit.

So that would be the “old” (beta 3) icon actually!?!
So given the choice right now I think I'd have to go with Ethan's GEAR icon. It's simple, fits the OS X look, looks good at small sizes, and is well-designed and rendered.
I think Torstens icon has personality, which a gear lacks. But unfortunately the ghost is not easy to place on other icons (like document/plugin icons etc.), and it does perhaps remind one too much of SEE (which is not really bad, but could leave one with the impression that TM is playing catch-up to SEE by mimicking it's icon etc.).
My only criticism is that the use of the 'T' initial seems a bit trite. Nonetheless, the icon is bold and works well at small size, and I'm having difficulty thinking of anything else that would be better in that context.
I also like Ethan's gear. Justin showed me an enhanced version of it, still it easily blends in with a bright background, but I think Justin is communicating with Ethan about this.
If Ethan is okay with it, I may try it out for beta 6. None of this is official btw, I'm just giving each of the icons I like a week or so of exposure.
And if you wonder why I say beta 6: http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2005/02/02/external-editor-api/ (so this will be beta 5, but I'll add a few other things also, so people not using the editor API will still see the benefit of updating ;) ).
Has anyone seen Barthelme Design's improvements?

I hope that Barthelme and Allan can work out something so we can have these by default :-)

Yes, they'll be used in beta 5. Though I also got this one from Ethan, which I am considering for beta 6 -- let the flames begin! ;)
Hm... I like Ethan's, though I strongly dislike the angle of rotation. If the shading were more consistent w/ other OSX icons, I might prefer it over Wolfgang's. Otherwise, the coloring is pretty good -- is the color choice consistent w/ the old analysis of "open" color spectra?

I see KDE there, +1 for the current (maybe enhanced) icon.

Ah yeah, the icon creators are stepping their game up. This new one is slick and stands out in the dock.

I think Wolfgang's icon is much more inline with the OS X icon guidelines. Ethan's icon is nice, but not as professional looking as Wolfgang's. As Chris Messina said, the angle of the icon doesn't look right. Make it more like the guidelines suggest, and it will be a very nice icon.
Yea, I agree. It's a beauty.
Thank you,

That is hands-down the best icon I've seen yet for TM. The project and document icons are also very nice. I highly recommend this set as the default set for TM.

Yes, and the icon(s) is/are really good & classy. I was a great fan of Torsten's icon, but this icon just looks so great in my dock.
Any chance of making the document icons work as well ??
Kind regards,
