// Opens the current Finder window folder in TextMate. Or open a file or folder in TextMate by dragging it onto this script.
-- 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
