How to pack / compress / compile a template on Mac?
« on: July 14, 2008, 04:19:13 AM »
Well I got a template installed locally that I need to re-pack... In Windows I had a small script that could do this, but apparently this won't work on my Mac.

So how can I do this?

I know RT a Mac boys - so let me know how please Smiley

I use betterzip http://macitbetter.com/

If you want to compile a templateDetails.xml file for 1.0 (don't really need it for 1.5 due to the <folder></folder> facility) then you can use this script in TextMate

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby -wKU
Dir.chdir(ENV['TM_DIRECTORY']) do
Dir.glob("**/*").each do |file|
next if File.directory?(file)
puts "<filename>#{file}</filename>"
end
end

Cheers James I will try that script.
Could you explain the folder folder thing you mentioned? The XML files looks like usually to me?

For 1.0, you had to name each file that has to be installed, in 1.5, you don't have to do that. You can use the folder command and it will load all the contents of that folder i.e.

<folder>images/</folder>

So you can do the .xml manually in a few seconds Smiley
