Can I Make TextMate Faster?

[Wyatt]

Hi,

There are two features of TextMate that would work for me if they were
faster. I love the idea of pressing Cmd+T as a way to get to a file
quickly by name. When I do that, it takes a long time for the window
to display (2-5 seconds). Is there a way to speed that up? Does that
just mean I have too many files in my project?

The other one is the find in project feature. It seems to take
forever (minutes) to find a simple text string in my files. It really
makes me miss Agent Ransack in Windows! Sometimes I go to Spotlight
and get the results right away, but I find that Spotlight's coverage
is incomplete.

Thanks for your help!
Wyatt

Cmd-T works instantaneously for me, and textmates Shift-Cmd-F works fairly fast (usually result within 1 to 3 secs). The grep-in-project command is super slow for me. (textmate vs grep-in-project == 2 secs vs 20 secs). This is in a project with two dozen plugins and vendor/rails, or over 10.000 files.

Just out of curiousity, how many files are in your projects?

find . -print | wc -l

Wow! That's great! Thanks so much.

Yes, grep-in-project is still somewhat slow for me, but it seems faster than the default.

I have about 42,000 files, which I guess explains why Cmd+T is so slow!  The total project size is about 246MB, so I guess I need to find the large files or directories and teach TextMate how to skip them.

My textmate folder pattern is:

!.*/(\.[^/]*|vendor/rails|doc|rails_root|CVS|log|data_dump|build|_darcs|pkg|_MTN|\{arch\}|blib|.*~\.nib|.*\.(framework|app|pbproj|pbxproj|xcode(proj)?|bundle))$

Importantly - it ignores vendor/rails, doc and log folders. I can always load up textmate explicitly in those folders if I need to search them, but they seem good ones to never appear in a generic textmate project.

Thank you so much, Dr. Nic!

Getting rid of 30,000 files (~200MB) also helped.  :)

[Nic Williams]

I think the 200Mb of files would have definitely helped! :)

[Ken]

Nic,

Thanks for this! Does your pattern go in the "TextMate/Preferences/
Advanced/Folder References/Folder Pattern" text box?

Thanks, Ken

Hi Ken!

That's where I put it. I don't know if there is another spot you could put it.

Cheers,

Thanks Michael and Wyatt!
