[TxMt] opening Projects from command line

[William Scott]

I'm a new (but paid up) textmate luser, and I am beginning to appreciate 
the advantages of saving projects, but find that I tend to have them
scattered all over my user directory.  I also have a bad memory, so 
sometimes not only do I forget where they are, I forget what I have named 
them.  I wanted an easy command-line way to find and open textmate 
projects regardless of where they are located.  I wrote a shell script 
that uses mdfind to locate them, permit listing of them, and open
them.  This works as a shell script or a zsh function.

tmpj foo

opens the project named foo (actually it will open all projects named foo,
so tweak the script if this is problematic) in any location.

If used as a zsh function, I wrote an accompanying completer:

Then all you do is type tmpj and hit the tab key and you can permute 
through a list of every textmate project on your hard drive that has been 
indexed by SpotLight. If you don't want to use zsh, then you can isue the
command

tmpj -l

and it will do the same and list possible projects.  Then you just pick a
project from the list and issue

tmpj foo

as before.


HTH someone.
