Small & Simple Thoughts

I was using Daniel Parker’s ‘Open in TextMate’ service built on Waffle Software’s ‘ThisService‘ on Leopard. Unfortunately, upon upgrade to Snow Leopard it no longer worked. Apple touted new functionality in Automator and the Service menu as part of Snow Leopard’s myriad enhancements so I checked into building my own ‘Open in TextMate’ service.

It was dead simple.

Here’s the screenshot of the workflow:

For my tens and tens of adoring fans, please download, unzip and  install the OpenInTextMate archive. (By ‘install’ I mean drop the contained file in ~/Library/Services/.) Once installed, you can assign it a shortcut key from the Keyboard preference pane.

Note: My testing wasn’t thorough, but it appears this service does not work on Leopard.
