Cyberduck + TextMate question...

Asked by jrpowell (40562

When I edit files locally with TextMate I can drop a folder on the TextMate icon in the dock and have them open in a drawer in TextMate then uses tabs. Is there a way to have this happen with files on a remote server?

In Cyberduck when I click on the edit button files open in TextMate. But can I open a folder on a FTP server and reproduce the drawer and tab functionality I get with working with local files? I prefer that over having 15 open windows in TextMate.

I could have sworn that I have done this in the past. I just don’t remember how.

Thanks..

I think you can, however, the problem for everyone is that TextMate insists on refreshing the entire folder and all files in it (for potential changes) whenever you lose/gain focus of the app. That can bed for some really hair-tearing beach ball-spins if you’ve got lots of files in the directory. Rumor has it the next version will be better at this specific issue.

This is a homegrown app. Maybe 20 php files (120k). I can deal with that problem. I’m not editing a wordpress theme here. And fuck.. TextMate is awesome but that needs to be fixed.

If I were in your shoes, I’d probably have a local folder that matched the FTP site, and then have some other app doing a sync on change. You can probably do this with Cyberduck and AppleScript folder actions.

Three years later and I got this to work with WEBDAV. It works, but like avacade says it beachballs like mad.
