I'm new to TextMate, so please point me to the fine manual if I'm missing something obvious. I've poked around the mailing list and documentation but couldn't find anything related. I'm using 1.1b5 currently, but would switch back to 1.0.x if that helps.
As part of switching over to TextMate I'm trying to set up a TextMate command to do some text processing. I have a project defined that has multiple text files and a TextMate command that may modify some or all of the text files in that project when it executes. The command first saves all of the files in the project. It then runs a Python script with no input and discarding any output.
TextMate, unfortunately, doesn't seem to check to see if the current file was changed after the command executes. If I switch to another file in the project and then back to the original file it will notice that the underlying file has been changed. But if I forget to switch back and forth it will end up causing a conflict between the file in memory and the file on disk.
In short, is there anyway to force TextMate to check the "freshness" of a current file after executing a command?

As a workaround you can add this to the bottom of your command, basically automating the re-activation you were doing manually (in the future I hope to make this unnecessary :) ):
osascript <<EOF &>/dev/null & tell app "System Events" to activate tell app "TextMate" to activate EOF

Excellent. Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for.
