Dale, for some obscure reason on the Mac you have to point it to the executable within the application package.
For Textmate that’s:
/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/mateFor Espresso, it’s:
/Applications/Espresso.app/Contents/MacOS/EspressoFor Coda, I thought it would be /Applications/Coda.app/Contents/MacOS/Coda but it doesn’t want to seem to play…
For Safari:, there’s also Saft for Safari, with which you can “ctrl-click, open with…” to edit textareas in your favourite text editor. See External Text Editor Support for Textareas (scroll down or search). Textmate has it’s own Edit in Textmate extension.

I was going to suggest that too, and that works for pages, forms & styles (if you are careful how you work) but does it also work for articles??

bici The Textpattern logic is very similar to EE (what I know so far). The template tags follow the same abstraction logic. You just have to ‘translate’ some usages 1:1. eg
{embed}is<txp:output_form form="EE_Template" />. In many cases you could use a search & replace script to adopt a high percentage of EE tags to become TXP tags
And yes, of course you can edit every page, form, CSS outside of Textpattern and outside of the DB
You can also take a naked HTML page, aka the design markup, and add (inject/replace) dynamic template tags. It’s the same procedure as in ExpressionEngine.
Thanks Marcus! I becoming more confident by the minute with the choice of TxP for my next project!

IIRC, /usr/bin/mate is the symlink, but type -p mate will get you the correct path. It doesn’t make any difference, but it’s less to remember/type.
If you use Vim, Vimperator is a nice Firefox extension (Ctrl+i to edit textareas). It seems to be more reliable then It’s All Text too (i.e., 400 MacVim instances aren’t opened simultaneously).

These are fixes for using the It’s All Text! add-on for Firefox on the Mac. The mac replies it cannot find the texteditor although the link is correct. Instead, enter the values specified manually into the field provided in the preferences for that add-on. Then it works on the mac too.
