-- Opens the current finder window folder in TextMate. Or open a file or folder in TextMate by dragging it onto this script. -- adopted from a script I found in the comments of this article: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050924210643297 -- Instructions for use: -- paste this script into Script Editor and save as an application to ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Finder/open in TextMate -- run via the AppleScript Menu item (http://www.apple.com/applescript/scriptmenu/) -- Or better yet, Control-click and drag it to the top of a finder window so it appears in every finder window. -- Activate it by clicking on it or dragging a file or folder onto it. -- Another nice touch is to give the saved script the same icon as TextMate. -- To do this, in the finder, Get info (Command-I) of both TextMate and this saved script. -- Click the TextMate icon (it will highlight blue) and copy it by pressing Comand-C. -- Click on this script's icon and paste by pressing Command-V. -- Another way to give it the same icon as TextMate is to save the script as an application bundle (instead of an application), -- then copy the icon by entering these commands in Terminal: -- $ cd ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Finder/open\ in\ TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/ -- $ rm droplet.icns -- $ cp /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/TextMate.icns droplet.icns -- $ touch ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Finder/open\ in\ TextMate.app -- script was opened by click in toolbar on run tell application "Finder" try set currFolder to (folder of the front window as string) on error display dialog "Error: " & the error_number & ". " & the error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1 end try end tell CD_to(currFolder, false) end run -- script run by draging file/folder to icon on open (theList) CD_to(theList, false) end open -- open the file/folder in TextMate on CD_to(theDir, newWindow) try set theDir to quoted form of POSIX path of theDir as string do shell script "open -a TextMate " & theDir on error the error_message number the error_number display dialog "Error: " & the error_number & ". " & the error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1 end try end CD_to

I changed “mate� to “open -a TextMate� in the script, so it wasn't
dependant on proper PATH setup for the “mate� helper tool.
I also saved it as an Application Bundle (instead of just
Application) to be able to give it a custom icon (I never really got
the Finder's copy/paste of icons).

Open Automator. Make a new action "Finder -> Open Finder Items". Choose "TextMate". Save as a Finder plugin.
Now it is available for any file or folder with a right-click.
