cool.

if you don't want to display the .fla file at all you could add it to the exclude regex in the info panel for the folder/project...

Allan, do you have any bundles for cocoa/objective-c apart from the ones that ship with TM? or are those the ones you're using (unless of course you develop TM in xcode ;) )?

I'm working on ActionScript, should have it done soon. I've already done a 'Test Movie' command.

Now if only we could get TextMate not to display the binary .fla file as text...

Greetings!

So, have anyone started to make some custom syntax definitions for the various laguages out there? Lets share! I wish I could say "I'll start" but I've just started on one so I'm still wrapping my head around it. It still baffles me why colours arent global (like, often i want the same color for strings regardless of laguages for instance)

(apologies if this has been bought up already, I'm the list newbie)

Cheers, johan

This adds syntax colouring and a 'Test Movie in Flash' command, so you can select a .fla file in your project and have it open and run in Flash

I'm assuming you're using $TM_FILEPATH for this? This is the file path of the file open in the editor. It sounds like I should introduce $TM_PROJECT_SELECTED_FILE(S) or similar for such type of actions?

[...] Unfortunately, at the moment, .fla files (and all other binary files I guess) display as text, but you guys will fix that soon, yes?

Yes, this will be fixed in 1.0.1, although I'm not entirely sure what the best fix is, there are (at least) 3 solutions:

1) only open files declared in the Info.plist disadvantage: what about .htaccess, .bashrc, etc. 2) give a regex for known good types disadvantages: similar to #1, but may be easier to change 3) give a regex for known bad types disadvantages: many files can still be opened as text, since this list can't be exhaustive

BTW, I'm not sure if anyone else has reported this (haven't had a chance to go back through the hundreds of posts on this list!), but double-clicking a bundle errors if the ~/Library/Application Suppport/TextMate/Bundles directory doesn't exist (and there's a spelling mistake in the error dialog: "An error occurred WHY copying the bundle".

Fixed that 20 minutes ago! :)

Kind regards Allan

is it not possible to do a file test operation, to check if it is binary?

At best only a heuristic. But mixed with encodings, I'm not sure how reliable this will be.

it could still show in the list, perhaps possible to view with external editor, and/or with "File appears to be binary, open anyway?" warning

For Rob's purpose, where he wants the files in the list, to be able to execute commands on these, it probably would be quite irritating with such a requester, each time he selects a .fla file.

Kind regards Allan

Every language is so different, so rather than TM imposing limitations, it welcomes it all with open arms.

Pardon me whilst I brainstorm. What if I could feed TM a grammar (say, in BNF) for a language? Then TM could figure out syntax highlighting from that based on hints, such as "string literal", "variable", "loop construct", etc?
