TM Dialog Development

[Andrew Hanna-2]

Hello,

Is this where the main discussion regarding the TM Dialog development  
is?  If so, I have a great suggestion that as far as I can tell has  
not yet been implemented.

I think it would be great to expose a dictionary object usable as a  
NSObjectController in a Window inside a NIB that would be stored  
within a project.  This would be similar to using the "User Defaults"  
object, but instead it would be a sort of "Project Defaults".  This  
would allow for some configuration/customization based on individual  
projects rather than the system as a whole.  It would also allow for  
using and storing this information across version controlled systems,  
for example.

I don't have much knowledge/experience in how the TM Dialog plugin  
works, so I wouldn't have much idea as to how one could implement  
this, and it may or may not require modifications to the core of  
TextMate.

-Andrew

Hi Andrew.

Main discussion mainly happens on IRC, we occasionally use textmate-dev.

I am not sure how you imagine the feature you request should be  
implemented. First of all, placing an NSDictionary in a nib and  
binding to that (via an object controller) is something the client  
using the DIALOG command can already do (if it makes sense).

Secondly, I’d be very wary of tying
Storing such settings in a project is rather tricky especially since  
project files will disappear in the future.

Accidentally sent this… I hate my new wireless keyboard :(

Anyway, projects are sort of defined by files listed in the tmproj  
file except those can be folder references and this file will be  
removed in the future. I do want to support project specific  
properties, but not for TM 1.x.

But, if you see a need for the feature you request, you can already do  
it, e.g. store the plist under TM_PROJECT_DIR and read it into the  
modal before opening a nib.
