PeepOpen and Textmate groups

[Rick]

Hey, I'm digging PeepOpen a lot, but I ran into an annoying problem on
the GitHub codebase. The test/fixtures directory has a bunch of git
repos as fixtures for testing. It causes Textmate to hang for several
seconds each time I re-focus on the window while Textmate does god-
knows-what with all those files. To solve this, I created a TM
project file that ignores the test directory. Then, I manually added
the other files as a Textmate group and excluded just test/fixtures/
git.

Here's what it looks like:

Now, the PeepOpen problem: it completely ignores any file in test. Is
there any way to get it to find those?

You described the problem well and I know exactly what you're talking
about. TextMate reloads all its files when returning focus, which
isn't a problem for the built-in file finder (but is for PeepOpen
since it's a separate application).

Also, PeepOpen does a simple traversal of a directory and doesn't yet
pay attention to TextMate project files.

So I see two solutions that I would need to implement:

* Rewrite PeepOpen as a native TextMate plugin
* Or, use the TextMate project file when looking for files to index
(and its ignores)

The second one can be implemented more quickly and will be my first
approach, but I can't guarantee a release date.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks Geoffrey. I understand this probably isn't a common issue with
Textmate users.
