Hi, When a bundle is double-clicked in the finder and there is already one with that name installed TM displays a dialogue saying:
" The bundle ³<bundle name>² already exists in your Application Support folder. Do you want to replace it?"
Could there be an option for merging the two bundles? For example, if I download a bundle that adds extra functionality to an existing bundle, I don't want to replace or cancel the open action, I want to add the new stuff. I know I can do it all manually by opening the package but this is quite time consuming.
The other thing that could be changed in the bundle behaviour is giving an option of opening it as a scratch project. If I want to do some work on a bundle's contents, I am not able to drag it onto Textmate's icon because it tries to install it, rather than making a project.
None of these things are critical, but would be nice to have.
Regards, Max

I assume you are aware that you can still drag the bundle to the project drawer and see the contents that way.
Giving an option to open it as a scratch project is IMHO a bit low-level and may easily lead to confusion (since this isn't really a supported action, or for many users, and option that makes sense). But a merging option would be in order.
Btw: I generally just open the folder containing the bundle(s) when I need it as a scratch project.
