Trying to find a modern example of exactly what you showed in the first half of the screencast. Using Interface builder to get some input from the user.

cd /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles
find . -name .svn -prune -or -name \*.tmCommand -exec grep -sq DIALOG {} \; -print

There should be at least a dozen default bundles which use $DIALOG. None of them are using v2 (yet), but v1 is not going anywhere.

Just a basic example of setting default values and getting user input from UI files built with Interface Builder would be really helpful. There is very little documentation available now that everything has been updated.

There isn’t much specific to say about tm_dialog since most is related to how Interface Builder and bindings work.

But I will do new screencasts with some common tasks when time permits. I probably will also write up a page or two with technical details, again, when time permits.

The idea is to use scripts to set up a dialog interface and receive a return value. The nibs load into TextMate which makes the dialogs part of TextMate. As I wrote above, I just wrote some scripts, xsl and created a nib so that I can choose the ant target I wish to run from a standard cocoa dropdown. This integrates ant into TextMate even further while still keeping the flexibility of TextMate.</p> Alex. The idea is to use scripts to set up a dialog interface and receive a return value.

Or to be able to roll out scripts that present nib based dialogs on their own (without TextMate present)?</p> I might be missing the point, but is the idea to create custom dialogs to use only within TextMate?
