I'm reviving this thread to post some more updates and also ask for
some help.
1. As mentioned previously I've used ascarter's script as a
Document.documentDidSave. After doing it BBEdit started to freeze even
if I wasn't just navigating through a project.
The reason for BBEdit freezing was exactly the tags generation script.
BBEdit is performing autosaves and so it was triggering it very often.
In fact it was so often that made BBEdit almost unusable with decently
sized projects.
Lesson learned: don't use the tags generation script as a
documentDidSave event, except you can filter an actual source file
save.
2. The conclusion above made me think that a better event to attach
the tags generation would be the Save action. So I've transformed it
into a File • Save script.
This approach has solved the above issue, but the script in the
current form was not able to make the difference between a real
project (with a folder structure) and a bunch a separate files opened
in the current window.
3. This is the part where I'm asking for help. The script in the
current form can be found at the end of the post. What I'd need help
with is:
3.1 Is there a way to determine if the current window belongs to a
real project vs a set of random files?
3.2. Could someone validate the following code snippet which tries to
get the parent folder if the main script result is a file:
if kind of (info for theFile) is "folder" then
-- Run the maketags script
set thePath to POSIX path of theFile
else
set thePath to POSIX path of (container of theFile)
end if
set cmd to "cd " & thePath & "; /usr/local/bin/bbedit
--maketags"
3.3 Is there a way to install this script and trigger it through a
menu item/shortcut against the current project instead of having it
automatically triggered by the Save action?
on menuselect(menuName, itemName)
if menuName = "File" and itemName = "Save" then
-- must return false to let the application do the work
return false
end if
end menuselect
on postmenuselect(menuName, itemName)
-- this is called after the application has processed
-- the command
if menuName = "File" and itemName = "Save" then
my makeTags()
end if
end postmenuselect
on makeTags()
set theFile to missing value
tell application "BBEdit"
set activeWindow to front window
if (class of activeWindow is project window) then
set projectDocument to project document of activeWindow
if ((count of items of projectDocument) > 0) then
set firstFileItem to item 1 of projectDocument
as alias
else
set firstFileItem to file of document of
activeWindow as alias
end if
if (on disk of projectDocument) then
set theProjectFile to file of projectDocument
as alias
tell application "Finder"
set theProjectDir to container of
theProjectFile
set firstFileDir to container of
firstFileItem
end tell
if (firstFileDir is equal to theProjectDir) then
-- Use project file
set theFile to theProjectDir as alias
else
-- External project file -> use first
item to set context
set theFile to firstFileItem
end if
else
-- BBEdit doesn't provide direct access to the
Instaproject root
-- Use the first node from the project list
set theFile to firstFileItem
end if
end if
end tell
if theFile is equal to missing value then
-- No base file found for reference
-- Signal error by beep and end
-- beep
else
if kind of (info for theFile) is "folder" then
-- Run the maketags script
set thePath to POSIX path of theFile
else
set thePath to POSIX path of (container of theFile)
end if
set cmd to "cd " & thePath & "; /usr/local/bin/bbedit
--maketags"
do shell script cmd
end if
end makeTags
Many thanks in advance for the help,
