I've always hated TextMate's bottom bar. It drives me nuts now short it is. I'd love to have something that looks more like a button, like Mail's bottom bar. New icons would be nice too. This would be quite challenging in the editor side.

Following the usual X.Y.Z form..

The new git button should be hidden if git is not installed.

When you highlight an item in the sidebar, the row is highlighted in blue, but the disclosure stays gray. It would be great if this turned white instead. It would also be really nice if instead of blue it was a nice gradient like Coda.

It's bit annoying that every time I launch textmate the drawer gets wide again. Especially when you're on small notebook screen.

Currently images open as ridiculous code whenever click. How about pulling the image in a window and show the w and h of it...so you could move on and not get attach by all those letters and numbers like it does currently.

Each time a file in a project is modified, the project drawer scrolls to the top when textmate loses and then receives focus.

I am hopeful that this plugin can hook the redraw function and prevent this behaviour. I would like the scrollbar to stay where it is, irrespective of whether or not textmate has or is receiving focus, and irrespective of any filesystem changes that occur within the project path.

To replicate:

1. ensure your project drawer has enough items in it such that the scrollbar is visible
2. scroll to the bottom of the drawer
3. switch focus to a non-textmate application and create a new file in your project, e.g.:
4. touch project_is_modified.txt
5. switch focus back to textmate
6. observe the drawer as it scrolls to the top

This is annoying default behaviour in textmate, but your plugin shows great promise... and I am hopeful that you can alter the default scrolling behaviour. Thanks!

I started writing this when I was merging in @shell's commits. gitk doesn't have a command line option to specify the repository path so it's pretty annoying to launch it with NSTask or AppleScript.

I'm sure someone with some NSTask experience could make this work pretty easily.

Currently you just see the big TextMate icon. It might be cool to design something prettier to go here. Recent files or something would be neat.

Hi!

After installing your new version my sidebars background and font color is black. Setting the background color like yo described doesn't work. If it helps I'm using the IR_black theme.

Best,
Stefan

I find it very annoying targeting this small arrow, while clicking a folder's name or icon has no function

I am trying to install MissingDrawer 0.4.0 from Downloads: https://github.com/downloads/jezdez/textmate-missingdrawer/MissingDrawer-0.4.0.tmplugin.zip

But it doesn't work. I get the following text:

Version ??? of “MissingDrawer-0.4.0” is already installed. Do you want to replace it with version ????

This is probably similar to the build issue in the EGOTextMateFullScreen TextMate plugin which was fixed in this commit:

enormego/EGOTextMateFullScreen@ff82f4a

(Look at diff for EGOTextMateFullScreen.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj)

Please fix!

If you are editing a file within a subfolder of a project and you "save as" to another subfolder, then MissingDrawer behaves as if the file has been renamed... (the original file is hidden and the new file is displayed in the original folder (as well as the real folder).

The only way to remedy this is by closing and reopening this project.

Can you add a feature to open a new tab in Terminal (instead of a new window) ? With a Command + Click, for instance.

You probably saw ProjectPlus? Since it's bit on hold, could we have those badges in MissingDrawer instead?

It would be great if the drawer would automatically adjust its width as the project tree is expanded in order to show the full file names.

from comments in issue 2 jezdez: I wonder if the font and background color of the sidebar could be retrieved by looking at the current theme.. if that even makes sense.

It would also be great to have a collapse all context option or button. If you open a bunch of folders it's a pain to manually close them all. I need to learn more about TextMate plugin development, I'd love to be able to help out.

it seems odd that there's documentation for how to change the background colour of the drawer, but nothing on how to align it to the right of the window. Perhaps the following should be added to the README?

To attach the drawer to the right of the window, run the following from Terminal:

defaults write com.macromates.TextMate MDSideViewLeft false

A preference in the new preferences window for Terminal or iTerm would be nice. It would be really neat if it was disabled if you didn't have iTerm installed.

Could you integrate the new scroll bar feature of Lion ? It could save some space !
Thank you very much for your very useful plugin !

Very nice plugin but the hide project draw does not hide the project draw. Rather it shrinks it down to 1px. Perhaps this is unnoticeable for people with a gutter but I have none at all, not even line numbering and it's very noticeable. I know it's non-urgent minor issue but it would be great to have it fixed someday.

Is it possible to sort folders first?

Is there a better place to post questions like this?

The instructions to install in the readme aren't ideal. A more efficient way would be preferred. Clever shell scripting tricks aren't my strength.

The file list's buttons on the button panel should laid out as follows when its toggled right:

• the side bar width/resize handle should be displayed left next to the split view divider
• all buttons should be aligned on the outside, in reverse order

...opens the normal (old) drawer, albeit with nothing in it.

The workaround is to open the project drawer first (⌃⌥⌘D), then do ⌃⌘R. Note however, that you'll have to press ⌃⌥⌘D twice.

Pretty simple..make it where you can double click and edit file names in the sidebar..instead of having to right click...choose rename as it currently is.

When I drag a folder from the Finder to the TM icon in the Dock, TM will launch with the original drawer showing behind the window, and the MissingDrawer pane will have white background regardless of my preference setting.

This does not happen when I launch TM from the terminal opening a folder with the mate tool.

This only happens on launch. Once TM is running, opening folder by drag works fine.

A defaults write method would be fine.

I’d rather not do anything to my TextMate that I don’t know how to easily reverse!

Neither of the two terminal commands listed in the README appear to change the background color of the drawer, even after restarting TextMate.

OS: 10.6.5
TextMate: 1.5.10 (1623)
Plugin: MissingDrawer_2010-11-28.zip

I got used to having my project drawer on the right side of the window. It would be great to be able to optionally place it there.

It would be great if there was another tab in preferences to control the sidebar colors and fonts, as well as other MissingDrawer preferences.

Perhaps I didn't lookd in the right place, but I can't find a way to get the focus back on the source code after hitting cmd+alt+ctrl+[.

I used to use cmd+alt+` to go back and forth previously... isn't better to stick with the default keyequivalent?

That's quite a bummer...

...as it was with its predecessor (at least on my box)

any plan for the future? or it's happening only to me?

Deeply nested file structures or long file names are obscured and the only way to see all of the text is to extend the draw. Horizontal scrolling would be really nice in this instance.

It would be great if Missing Drawer could update itself. This should probably be off by default though.

Hello guys!

First of all I would say thank you for this amazing plugin.

Opening project via File -> Open works perfect, but old drawer is not hidden when you opening project via dragging-and-dropping folder to the application icon.

Could you please fix this problem?

Old Drawer was configured to display at the right side of application window (before installation).

Hi,

I use MissingDrawer perfectly with my 10.6.4 setup, but on the desktop, still running 10.5.8, it fails to load:

9/9/10 11:12:03 AM TextMate[5577] Error loading /Users/melo/Documents/work/textmate/user_config/PlugIns/MissingDrawer.tmplugin/Contents/MacOS/MissingDrawer:  dlopen(/Users/melo/Documents/work/textmate/user_config/PlugIns/MissingDrawer.tmplugin/Contents/MacOS/MissingDrawer, 265): no suitable image found.  Did find: /Users/melo/Documents/work/textmate/user_config/PlugIns/MissingDrawer.tmplugin/Contents/MacOS/MissingDrawer: unknown required load command 0x80000022 
9/9/10 11:12:03 AM TextMate[5577] instance MissingDrawer plug-in has no principal class 

Any ideas?

Thanks!

It would be great if there was some way to switch the background to blue instead of white. A defaults write would be an acceptable, easy interface in my opinion.

For me, the feature that would make this replace the Project+ plugin would be to automagically expand the parent folders of a file that is opened in the displayed tree of files. And to save this state for when Textmate's closed/re-opened.

It's not working on my system and now I can't even launch a project in Textmate. It totally screwed Textmate.

It is not inside ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Plugins.

Please help!

On my Textmate 1.5.10, there's no drawer or pane and the menu option to Show/hide is greyed out. Uninstalling the plugin to revert back to ProjectPlus.. it now also doesn't work anymore..

Any ideas?

Nice to have with big projects.

Should open terminal at first top level element's path.

I can't change my textmate side view color. ...

i runned the command : "defaults write com.macromates.TextMate MDSideViewBgColor "white""

When both ProjectPlus and missing Drawer are installed textmate crashes on launch. Deleting Project plus remedies this.

I am running OSX 10.5.8 and Textmate 1.5.9.
When I open textmate I only get the old project drawer. MissingDrawer works for me if I use the 2009-01-27 version but not with the most current. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Calvin

I work with ruby and like missingdrawer, but I hate having to save my files to the project and then add exiting files to the missingdrawer because using the New File shortcut only allows addition of:
Applescript
HTML
Objective C
Python
Text
XML

Is there a way to add to the list of available new file templates?
