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?

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

Fixed that 20 minutes ago! :)


Kind regards Allan
