hi all,
I am a longtime bbedit user but someone said I should check textmate out. I like it so far but I have encountered some weird and frustrating behavior while using the project file pane while editing text files loaded through transmit's 'edit with...' over sftp:
- sometimes when files open up through transmit and then I drag them to the project pane, they're blank. I'll repeat the same process and then they show up fine. - sometimes after working on a file for awhile, the filename turns red, which I'm assuming means the link has died and I can't open them up anymore. I can toggle back to the tab if it's still open and see the file, but it won't save any changes at that point. This is the most frustrating because I have set up 100+ html/php/js/css files and then they break.
Anyone have similar problems?
I'm running 10.4.8 on an intel macbook.
thanks! Alan
Have you read this: http://macromates.com/wiki/Main/FAQ
search in the page for "remote".
If you are editing more than just one remote file, you are better off not using the "Edit with..." thing. That page has some suggestions on workaround. May or may not be helpful.
Since I personally don't work with remote files the way you do, and don't keep them open long even when I do, I haven't encountered these problems. On Mar 14, 2007, at 6:54 PM, Alan Watts wrote:

I've been using MacFUSE with great success over SSH and it's completely transparent though somewhat slow.

One other thing to consider, if you are opening large numbers of such files, is trying to integrate a version control system into your workflow. Then you can work with a local copy of the files, and then easily commit your changes to the server. The benefits of this are a) you can work with a local copy, and b) you can easily get diffs, revert changes, etc.
It's usually (not always) a bad idea to have a workflow built around editing html/etc. files on the server directly.
