[txmt-dev] Quick Look generator for files with a public.source-code UTI

Hi,

I noticed the following item in the release notes of version 2.0-alpha.9455:

	Add Quick Look generator for file types conforming to public.source-code. (Jacob Bandes-Storch)

This is a quite welcome feature but there's a problem: TextMate supports (through bundles) a large number of programming languages whose files that MacOS X doesn't recognize as source code in the default Apple provided UTI list. Some of these languages don't have an associated application (other than a command-line compiler or interpreter). Thus, the only way to add a UTI for them seems to be to either hijack some application Info.plist file or to create a dummy application. I'm wondering if TextMate could be o help here, maybe by using the information provided (or to be provided) in the language bundles.

Cheers,

Paulo
