[TxMt] Re: Web preview enhancements?

Update the bundle and try again. I just fixed that error.

For best awesomeness you can set the variables $TM_PROJECT_SITEROOT
and $TM_PROJECT_SITEURL
so that if you're testing PHP or rails or something it'll preview
through your server.

Also, you can manually add any random url you want into the file
'/tmp/42_tm_css_live_preview_url.stupid_way_to_save_info'

I named the temp file that because I hadn't thought of anything else
at the time and wanted to remind myself how stupid this method is.
Still works though.

In the Web Preview window you can use variables in the path, so you
could setup something like: "$HOME/Library/Application
Support/TextMate/Bundles/subtleGradient.tmBundle/Support/bin/42_TextMate_live_preview.rb"
if you have the bundle installed in "$HOME/Library/Application
Support/TextMate/Bundles/"

huh, I wonder if you could set the preview command path to a variable
and then set that variable dynamically. Could be a cool. I'll fiddle
with it.
