Q: Roadmap for TextMate support? Best fix until then?
Is there a roadmap for Slife to more fully capture TextMate usage? Until then, is there a [recommended | preferred | near-canonical] Scriptlet that will better capture TextMate app and document details? (I'm running Slife 3.0.2 via OS X 10.5.7)

Inappropriate?I remember that we checked if TextMate was Applescriptable a while back and unfortunately the answer was no. Hopefully the new version, in the works it seems (TextMate 2), will support AS and that will make it easier for us to interface with it.
Having said this, we've recently come up with a way to grab the front TextMate document name through the command line:
osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to return name of first document'
So, probably in the next version, we will have this in Slife. I can't wait, since I am a heavy TextMate user myself -
osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to return path of first document'
returns the full path of the first document which might be more useful. -
Inappropriate?We are close to having this done. It's going to be in the next release.

Inappropriate?Thanks, ethomaz. Is there an estimated date for when that release will be available?

Inappropriate?We are shooting for early December. Feel free to ping me at ethomaz at slifelabs and I can send you an early version when it's ready, if you would like to check it out.
