Hello, Is there anyway for texmate to have the gutter stick to the left side of the window even when scrolling horizontally? I've seen it mentioned several times in the wiki and the consensus seemed to be that it would be added in 1.3, but in 1.5.1 I still can not find it.
Thanks Mark

there was a sudden bump on version numbers, so what was known as "the future 1.3 release" has now become "the future 2.5 release" or something like that :)
1.1 -> 1.5 (the current version) 1.2 -> 2.0 (focus on improved project handling) 1.3 -> 2.x? (focus on the editing component)
I too would really love to see the drawer not pop-up on seemingly random sides of interface -- I know it's not actually random but it still sucks (what was Apple thinking?).
On that same note, it sure would be nice if the drawer worked more like Mail, iTunes, Yojimbo, skEdit and many other sweeet Cocoa apps that let you resize the drawer by dragging its dividing line rather than its edge. For example in iTunes, if I can't see the full name of the playlist, I can just drag the line inward a bit, read the thing that was truncated, then move the line back. Done. In TM if I need to make the drawer wider, I have to start by dragging the entire application window to make room for the drawer to open wider. Not a huge deal, but definitely detracts from the overall usability and slickness of TM.
</my 2 cents>
Also, just out of curiosity... Does anyone out there actually use the drawer on the right side of the app window?

I do. That's just the position it's in when I create a new project.
BTW, I think you're confusing drawer with gutter. Mark was referring to the area (gutter) that shows the line numbers and folding markers, not the project files drawer.

Oops -- I think you're right! I thought Mark was sort of erroneously using the word gutter to mean drawer. But on re-reading his post, I think he meant exactly what he said. My mistake ;-)
(But I still wish we could fix that damn drawer!)

+1
(and +1 for the gutter as well)

In iTunes, Mail, etc, it's not actually a drawer (:
I don't think I've resized the TM project drawer yet...

I use it on both sides, actually. I have two screens, my 20" iMac's screen and a 21" CRT hooked up to it; all my code goes on the iMac screen (of course (: ), with two projects on the left side with their drawers on the right, two projects on the right side with their drawers on the left, and two files (not projects) in the middle. That's max usage of course, but it's quite pleasant to work with.

No.. the iApps have a quite different style from everything else, now. I kinda like the drawer as it is in TM :-).

I've only had to shrink it, a few times.

I like to think of it as the drawer... evolved ;-)
As a matter of fact, Mail for example used to use a drawer just like TM's. The new way of doing it is much more clever IMHO.

Interesting to see how differently people use the same software. I'm constantly resizing that thing to read long filenames in a nested directory.

I like to be strictly pedantic and say "It's not a drawer at all." (:

Yes; I'm not sold on it for TM but I've never tried to visualize it, or mock it up, or anything like that.

The main difference here is likely to be that I don't run into long filenames at all, pretty much. Which means that the current drawer is more than sufficient.
Now this is a key point: what I do NOT want to happen is to have resizing the project "pane" also resize my text view. Which is what the Mail/iTunes/etc system will do. Using something like RBSplitView or whatever you can actually have it resize the window when you drag the handle, but in my (and possibly _only_ my) opinion that's ugly and un-Mac-like.
But whatever Allan does, I'll get used to, I'm sure-- like I said, I don't think I've ever resized it.
