Since I've never had good luck with symlinking in the Library folder, I created a little applescript app that lets me push or retrieve my settings from a hidden folder in my Dropbox. It's working great for me so I thought I would share!
At this time it will:
1. Grab TextMate themes, bundles, settings, etc. from ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate and ~/Library/Preferences 2. Store them in a hidden folder in your DropBox called .MateSync 3. Download them onto another machine.
It won't:
1. Work if you don't have your Dropbox in ~/Dropbox 2. Save backups (Dropbox should do this for you) 3. Transfer TextMate.app to your Dropbox. If you make GUI changes, you have to sync those yourself.

Hi John,
I tried installing SyncMate but when I clicked the "Save to Dropbox" button I got the following error:
"rsync: link_stat "/Users/((home directory redacted))/Library/ Preferences/com.macromates.textmate.getbundles.plist" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: somefiles could not be transferred (code 23) at /SourceCache/rsynch-40/rsynch/main.c (992) [sender=2.6.9]"
Can you tell what went wrong? Can I fix it with a quick AppleScript edit?
Thanks!
Chris
I'd check to make sure your plist already exists in: /Users/$user/Library/ Preferences/com.macromates.textmate.getbundles.plist
Otherwise, I'd run a quick permissions fix on the disk, maybe it doesn't have rights to access it.
Such a weird issue. Keep us posted!
