[TextMate] feature request: better support for .textClipping files

[Jeff Ganyard]

I hate .textClipping files, they are some kind of bastard 
implementation of a file. They really aren't terribly useable but they 
are easy to create and so show up far too often. I've never looked into 
the format but I don't understand why Apple didn't just make them txt 
or rtf files. Instead they created a specially functioning file that is 
not well supported.


.textClipping files are supported as expected if you drag from the 
Finder to an open document in TextMate, i.e. the contents are inserted 
at the insertion point.

Dropping a .textClipping file on TextMate's app icon opens a new empty 
window with the textClipping's name. Desired behavior would be to 
display the textClipping's contents. Bonus points for making the 
textClipping editable!

Selecting a textClipping in the project drawer displays an empty window 
with the title set to the textClipping file's title. Desired behavior 
would be to display the textClipping's contents. Bonus points for 
making the textClipping editable.

Dragging a textClipping file from a project window to the currently 
displayed document results in no change to the current document. 
Desired behavior is to insert the contents of the textClipping file at 
the insertion point, i.e. the same behavior as dragging from the 
Finder.


thanks for listening!
