It’s not feasible to maintain the old-style xib translations while we work on the UI. We’ll soon move fully to constraint-based layout which should allow translations to be purely string-based.
Older versions of TextMate stored the install path with the tilde so we always need to (potentially) expand that when fetching the install location.
The lack of doing this was likely the cause of issue #302.
This includes the previously hidden initial file browser location, whether or not to permanently show the tab bar, placement of file browser and command output.
This is to make the tmProperties file more transparent (should the user wish to manually inspect it).
As the variable part in the settings is treated as a format string, we can use ‘\r’ and ‘\n’ for CR and LF respectively.
Presently the new file type is not setup to use tmProperties as the way this is specified (in tmProperties) needs special-casing. Will likely change that.
The reason for this is that we might be able to overwrite mate even if we do not have write access to the parent directory. This will avoid us having to prompt the user for an admin password (when updating mate).
It should be mentioned though that incase mate is not a regular file, we do need to remove it first, because if e.g. it is a symbolic link, our install would write to where the link points to.
Previously we installed this from the Bundle Support bundle’s support path.
While the Bundle Support bundle is a requirement to work with TextMate, including mate in the resources section should ensure we always get the latest build and address issue 53.
