Downloaded Textwrangler 4.0 and all my file icons seemed to change.
PHP file icon now a unix executable icon, etc. I know how to change
file icons but want Textwrangler to save text and php files not only
to open with Textwrangler (which they do) but also with a
Textwrangler icon. Appreciate it if someone could tell me where I
need to go to set the default icon for all Textwrangler files.

IMHO there's no option to change "all TextWrangler" files. There even
aren't special "TextWrangler files" because TextWrangler can open
EVERY file (even executables, plist-Files, html-Files).
But it seems there's a bug with TextWrangler 4: Even new saved files
get a generic icon. I have TextWrangler 3.5 still on my harddisk and
when changing the owner to TextWrangler 3.5 the Icon comes back.
Changing back to TextWrangler 4 the Icon gets generic again. I hope
there will be a bugfix soon.

Hello,

this may be due to the fact that the icon is referred to in TextWrangler info.plist as
<string>TextWranglerTextDocument.icns</string>
while the icon in the resources folder is called TextWranglerTextDoc.icns.
If you rename the icon bundle inside of
TextWrangler.app/Contents/Resources/
to
TextWranglerTextDocument.icns
you will get your icons back.

Cheers Tom.

I will check this out when I get back later. Its sounds like an answer
to the problem. I'll let you know if it works.

Hello,

I have a problem with the new implementation of "Open File by Name…" or "Open Selection" (⌘D).

The former version evaluated relative paths, so a call for
myText.tex
would open the document with that name in the same folder as the present document.
But now, I get suggestions for the document to open, and the first (or only) offer might not be the document in the same folder, but one with the same name in another folder (this happens easily if you work on a new version of an older document). I don't quite kno when this happens.

At the same time, relative paths like
../ProvenanceMetadata/Delos.tex
are not recognised by this command: the "Open File by Name" remains empty, while a click on the search button opens that file immediately.

I would like a way to return to the earlier behaviour.

Best
Thomas
