I would like to see a windows version of Textmate. Is it a possibility? Are there plans of releasing a windows version?

About a couple of months ago , I was pretty desperate , that there is no MAC version for TopStyle PRO.
So checked, wether there is anything competitive to that sort of integrated Wysiwig CSS Layout Editor,
(One of the most useful features there the ability to see the specificities on your Rules)
My guess is, that there will not be TM version for windows ( AFAIK alan has stated so on the mailing lists), neither a TopStyle version for MAC. (Even such big CSS Geniuses like Eric Meyer would have liked seen Brad persuaded to develop a MAC version of TopStyle Pro)

The main reasons why I switched to mac are not TextMate related.
1)Reason One:Security
2)Reason Two: Working with Phostoshop And Illustrator (Or any Graphic and Image handling tasks) is much better on
a MAC.
3)Reliability and Stability.Less Hardware Trouble.(A G4 MAC Mini uses as much electricity as a common 60W Light Bulb.)Less Heat, less trouble, except for CS2 apps on Intel Based Macs, which has been reported as a pain
.
I also tried a ton of Different Editors , but didn’t find any, that could equal those two apps.
So the only thing, that’s left for me, is to use both and try to find a clever Network Solution that is safe and reliable
To work on both platforms where windows will be pretty much only for Testing (Browsers and TopStyle)

creativesplash, there’s a blog post on the TextMate site referring to ports.

That post is pretty long. I hadn’t seen that one before.Interesting Read.

A new version of the TXP Bundle v0.7 is available for download at the same download link above.

There is also a Screencast, which walks you through the typing basics.
It is pretty trivial, but might you get up and running quickly, if you hav’nt used this yet.

Here is the related article

Lookin good Marios.

It’s amazing how far you’ve taken this project!

Just as a small followup, I have a couple of fixes.

There is also a small Syntax error, which is the category attribute in the article snippet.
(I’m aware of that and it’s already fixed)

I want to elaborate on the drag commands a little as well, and split them, so they do txp tags or straight hardcoded Ambrosia version.

(This one is still not working the way I want it, especially after the last Transmit upgrade)
That’s why they are tagged as experimental.
One new drag command that’ll come along the way will be a source code drag command, which I am working on now.

I’ll take a couple of days.

One thing I miss in the new version is the syntax coloring for html included in the bundle…

perhaps I downloaded the wrong thing or didnt set it up as intended..
