Hmm… would love to use this script and it worked once after install but now it just makes the Finder window loose focus and doesn't open or focus TextMate at all.

This is on Snow Leopard 10.6.6.

Can anyone else get this to work?

The odd thing is that when I open the script file itself main.scpt and select a file then run the script it works great, just when running it by clicking or dragging files onto the toolbar icon it fails.

Any ideas guys?

Appears to be broken with the latest release of textmate, it crashes textmate and script gives error connection invalid. Use to work a week ago until I updated textmate.

Henrik,

Your script doesn't work in Tiger. But it wasn't that hard to back port it for 10.4.

Great idea! I learned a few new tricks from looking at what you did. Thanks!

Oops, accidentally removed a comment by Ken:

Btw, by looking at the screenshot, it seems like you have a "generic" toolbar icon background. I've been looking for that background, so i can customized my Finder toolbar icons. Where do I find it?

thanks a lot

See this post.

"How this is different from simply dragging the Textmate application icon to the finder toolbar?"

The TextMate icon does not allow you to SELECT a file in a Finder window, then *click* the icon to open that file. I find draaaaaging a file to be too fussy a motion, plus the window may begin scrolling. And if you twitch at the wrong time you can release the mouse button and end up dropping the file in the wrong place, etc.

Some might ask, why not just double-click the file you want to open? Because... its type is not associated with TextMate! Usually, I want a web browser to open when I double-click a html file, *sometimes* I want to edit the same file in TextMate. (The same for a .plist file, for example.)

This command makes that a snap! Two clicks! Just fabulous. :)

To change the icon so it looks better in Tiger/small size, just use "Get info" on the script and change the icon thumbnail there to something more appropriate (I used the Textmate.app icon).

Works great, but is there any way of attaching this to a hot key?

Henrik N — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 03:15:36 -0000

Sang: You could, but then you couldn't (to my knowledge) change the icon without changing it for the entire app, and you couldn't click the toolbar item to open the current directory in TextMate. See my comment above.

hmm.. couldn't you just drag TextMate icon to the Finder toolbar instead?
I was able to just drag TextWrangler app to the Finder toolbar in Tiger and drag files onto that icon to open the files in TextWranger.. Maybe it's different for TextMate and/or Leopard..;;

I too would love a Path Finder option for this handy script. I've tried myself but lack the chops to actually make it work. Anyone want to tackle this?

Ben,

I have been wondering the same thing. ;) I mostly did this on Allan's request, and usually drag to the dock icon myself. I do like the toolbar icon when you want to open the current directory in TextMate, though: clicking the toolbar once is quicker than holding on the proxy icon and then dragging it.

The drag-and-drop functionality of the toolbar icon is more for completeness, really – I'd probably use the dock icon for that since it's a larger target (taller than a toolbar icon, and a mile wide).
