OpenInSublimeText.app Notes

About OpenInSublimeText

OpenInSublimeText is a complete rip from Henrik Nyh's Open in Textmate gadget:

Thanks to Henrik for putting that handy little gadget together!

I wanted the same functionality in the OS X Finder for Sublime Text 2 and lightly hacked Nyh's stuff to point at Sublime Text. Then, hacked a little icon together to make it all nice.

Installing the OpenInSublimeText gadget

Here's how I'd do it:

1. Make a scripts folder in your Applications folder

2. Download a copy (or git clone) of OpenInSublimeText.app and drop it in that scripts folder. Example (from the Terminal):

   mkdir /Applications/scripts
   cd /Applications/scripts
   git clone https://github.com/itd/OpenInSublimeText.git OpenInSublimeText.app
   

3. Drop the OpenInSublimeText onto a Finder window toolbar.

Well, that's about it. You're ready to go!

If you have questions you can send me a note.

Sublime Text 2

If you are looking for a configurable text editor for OS X, give Sublime Text 2 a go. It's totally awesome!
