ProjectPlus for TextMate

It's been a while since TUAW talked about TextMate, and fans of the venerable text editor will want to check out ProjectPlus, Ciarán Walsh's latest contribution to the TextMate community. It provides a set of features compiled from several of Ciarán's other plugins, and then some, such as:

  • SCM status badges for SVN and Git, displayed in the project file list and the window proxy icon
  • Swapping the project drawer for a panel, ala MissingDrawer (can be disabled if you prefer MissingDrawer)
  • The project panel can be placed on either side of the window
  • Maintains support for ???D and ??R shortcuts
  • Support for Finder color labels in the sidebar panel
  • Color labels can be set through the context menu
  • Preserving the project tree state on re-open
  • QuickLook preview of files in the project file list through the context menu (or ?? when the file list is focused)
  • Sorting options in the project file list context menu
    • Display folders at the top of the list
    • Sort by file extension
  • "Open With" option

Subversion users might also want to take a look at SVNMate, also by Ciarán. Also check out some of the great contributions from Thomas Aylott, a.k.a subtleGradient. TextMate is an amazing text editor, but the contributions of the TextMate community are what make it my favorite text editor.

Yea, how about version 2? I remember reading about it and how it was going to be Leopard only, and this was before Leopard came out. I wonder what's taking so long.

I stopped asking long ago. I'm hoping for miraculous things when we do finally see it.

So other than the look of the panel vs the drawer, why exactly would I want to use this? I already get SVN functionality and various other features on this checklist using stock Textmate with the included bundles. But if there's something that this does better, I'd love to hear about it.

You will not get SVN or Git badges through stock TextMate. Also keeping the expansion states of the files, between launches is nice.

TextMate is "venerable"? What, is that on Internet Time?

Accorded great respect due to age, wisdom, or character. It's an abstraction, but I consider the wisdom of the open bundle system and the relative ease with which languages, snippets and commands can be incorporated to be indicative of wisdom. Not, perhaps, directly attributable to the binary entity, but the use of the word was intentional.

Speaking of TextMate, how's version 2 coming along?

Since, as JD says, the blog is down, I went hunting. Poking around on the Google Cache suggested that his download files are in http://ciaranwal.sh/files/

So on a lucky guess, I found the file at:
http://ciaranwal.sh/files/ProjectPlus.tmplugin.zip

Looks fantastic!

Here's a mirror of the file, as well. Apparently Ciarán's hosting has a miniscule bandwidth cap.

The site's broken, 500 Internal Server error. Anyone got a mirror?

Does anyone have a direct link/mirror? It seems the TUAW crowd crashed his blog.
