I have RC4 and TextMate does not offer me a later version:

Am I just lucky? m.

2.0-rc.4 is the latest official version listed on the web site and the latest version offered by the autoupdater. Anything subsequent is for the adventurous only.

Might break code signing and cause who knows what’s.

So I'm just cowardly. And proud of it! :) Thx - m.

PS By the way I'm pretty sure you could have the benefits of the current version without the problems of the quick look generator by just reaching into the app bundle and ripping the generator out and throwing it away.

Personally, I never think about using Quick Look for reading if it’s going to take more than 4 seconds. I’d rather see the correct icon if I happen to Quick Look a DMG than have the option to occasionally see the contents of an extension less file.

Anyone finding value in the (proper) thumbnails?

Not for text files, no. In fact, Quicksilver lets you specify what uses Quick Look to generate icons and I’ve always purposely excluded text, code, Pages/Word, etc.

For the curious:

~~~ defaults write com.blacktree.Quicksilver QSFilePreviewTypes -array public.image public.movie public.audio com.adobe.pdf public.x509-certificate net.daringfireball.markdown com.apple.ical.ics ~~~

Myself I couldn’t care less about the preview thumbnail in the icon. I only care that I can hit <space> and get TM’s QL previewer.

I just don't use Quicklook at all (or if I do, I've invoked it by accident).

For TM I think it makes even less sense. It loads almost instantly, and it takes less tie to open a file in TM, then close it compared to using quicklook and then clicking 'Open in Textmate'

Same here, thumbnails of text files are pointless, but a proper QuickLook preview of the content can be quite a time saver!

Revert to RC7. RC8 has this breakage trying to deal with files that have no extensions.

I personally "quick look" a lot of things too (though Textmate is usually running anyway.) But there are two general problems with TextMate's QL behaviour… I'm not sure those are TextMate's fault or limitations of Mac OS X.

* It cuts off files at a certain amount of lines. This wouldn't be so bad by itself, but there is zero visual indication that the displayed text is cut off (something like a special coloured ellipsis symbol at the end, or something)

* if the system is under load (say something else, e.g. a raytracing application, is using 100% CPU) I only get the spinning indicator in the QL window and it never manages to actual display the text. It is as the TextMate QL generator runs with such low priority it doesn't get a share of CPU by the OS. Other file types (images, even videos) don't seem to share the same problem.

I have to disagree. No reason to load the editor, and have to kill it, vs just using QL. Further, I keep TM on its own desktop. Having the desktop switch to the TM one, just to view a file, is counter-productive. Plus, it doesn’t switch BACK.
