PeepOpen shows files not contained in the TextMate project
So here's the situation.
I have a folder at ~/Documents/MIT that contains all my schoolwork. Under this folder I have one subfolder for every class that I take or help with (~/Documents/MIT/6.01, ~/Documents/MIT/24.900, and so on).
This term, I was helping out with a class that I'd taken before, so I created a TextMate project containing the two folders
-
~/Documents/MIT/6.004 (S08), containing my old work -
~/Documents/MIT/6.004 (S10), containing any new work for teaching
at root level. Using TextMate's built-in "Go to File" dialog, I only get results from these two folders, so I expected PeepOpen to behave similarly.
Unfortunately, PeepOpen gives me results from all over the common parent — both files in ~/Documents/MIT and files in sibling folders such as ~/Documents/MIT/21W.789. In order to get any results at all from the two desired folders, I have to increase the number of tracked documents to 2,000.
PeepOpen doesn't currently pay attention to TextMate project files, but definitely needs to.
I've started initial work on this and hope to make it work right within the next update or two of the app.
One related question,
In Textmate with previous version of peep-open I usually see only files related to the open folder/project I think.
But with the latest version I see a bunch of other files, but no one related to my open folder/project I see only files present in my desktop. I've tryed increasing the nnumber of tracked files but nothing changes
Is it normal ?
I'm having the same issue as djtal - I've opened up another project in textmate and Peepopen shows a different folder's contents. The contents shown are not from any other open files or projects. They are from a sibling folder to the current project. A little hard to explain..
With 0.2.1, when I open a Textmate project by selecting the .tmproject file, PeepOpen only shows the .tmproject file in the list, but does no show any of the files in that project.
+1 newest version of PeepOpen lists files not contained in the current project.
if it can help : I just try the following :
- setup peepopen to track all files
- add a project root pattern with .tmproj add this same pattern to file ignore pattern
It work ie just seeing files contained in the textmate proj root folder for me without performance impact for the moment
HTH
I had the very same problem - turns out that peepopen does not know anything about projects, it only knows folders: If you open a folder in textmate, everything works fine and peepopen only lists files below this folder.
If you open a project, the starting-variable for the folder from which peepopen reads is obviously random and normally has nothing to do with the current project.
SO: open folders instead of projects and everything works fine again - and let's hope that this will be fixed someday and peepopen learns more about textmate-projects...
okok, I'll take that back: That was only temporarily working - now it is screwed up again after restarting peepopen. Not smart...
+1 for this as an annoyance. When I realize my mistake, I sometimes have to close my project & re-open the "peepopen" way, which defeats some of the convenience.
Surely this is a fundamentally important feature for PeepOpen with Textmate?
One of the best features of Textmate is that you can just select a couple of directories you need to work, with for example, the fron-end of your application...
Also note that if you for example have the following directory structure:
a/
b/
d/
c/
e/
And you select create a new project on textmate with directories d and c. When you open peepopen you'll see everything under a.
Peepopen works properly for some of the rails 3 proejcts that I have. But for a couple rails 2.3 projects, it does not find files that are in the folders opened in textmate. I have opened the folders from the terminal and am not using a .tmproject file.
This is making peepopen useless for me. I really hope this issue gets fixed soon.
3 months and no fixing, looks like the developer doens't care.. I guess I wasted my money with this. I disabled peepopen because of this.
I think he may have had a kid a few months back. I'm giving it a little bit more time... things should work out.
this really is a shame: peepopen is a nice idea and when it does it's job, unfortunately it screws up most of the time. It's not like this is freeware, not even cheap for the limited functionality it provides - really sucks when there is no-one even looking into it...
If the lead developer is not wanting to fix the issues maybe he should consider open-sourcing it. He already earned enough money for his work, I mean most of us bought the software.
The fact that it cannot access files at all when opening a Textmate project makes PeepOpen a terrible replacement for Textmate's default. This and other what appear to be simple bugs open here for a long time (such as not being able to click on an item in the list to open it - which I naturally do every time) makes it a poor buy at the moment for me.
This is almost sad that this is $12 beta application and this bug still hasn't fixed.
to be fair, it is only this sadly neglected thread and the fact that the developers are obviously ignoring whatever their customers say on github - the plugin itself seems to be working ok with the latest updates: I've been using it for quite a while now and the bug that leads to show files outside the projects folder seems to be gone. It is really a shame, that none of the peepcode-guys shows up here, but at least the software seems to be ok...
mugwump: I still can't get latest version of Peep Open to see any files inside a Textmate project - I still have to open directories within Textmate for it to see files otherwise Peep Open just gives me a load of junk not related to the project I have open.
mugwump: I have the latest version as of now (Just let it check for updates and it told me 0.2.4 is current.) and I still see a bunch of files that don't belong to my TextMate project. I see a bunch of files that are one or two levels up from where the .tmproj file is stored. What version are you using?
I'm also using 0.2.4 - not sure if this makes a difference, but I'm not using the "project"-Feature of Textmate, but instead open a folder. As I have all my project-related stuff in one folder anyway that makes no difference to me, but I remember that peepopen got confused if it is not working on a folder....
mugwump: Um, that's what this whole issue is about. Did you read the initial text? Sure it works with folders, but WHO CARES. I want to be able to use the project features.
+1 most of my textmate projects are composed of multiple files and folders, without a single root.
