Todo warning when working with mounted ftp drive

[andyHnida]

Hi,

i'm mostly working on projects which need to be done online.

every time i'm doing a home project and using the TODO function, everything is fine. but as soon as i throw stuff on a server and mount that drive on my desktop making the template directory part of my project i get the warning:

"Warning: Your project directory is the root directory!"

is there any way to work around this?

thanks for your comments

May I ask how you mount the FTP drive and how you get those files into TextMate? My guess is that the mounted drive has a path like /Volumes/ and you add this folder to an existing TextMate project? If that project has a base path of, say, /Users/soryu/project1/ than the resulting combined root path would be / and the warning will be triggered.

Also, have you tried selecting a folder in the TM sidebar and invoking the Show TODO command then? It should restrict the scope of the command to be that folder/file and should work fine.

Thank you for your reply!

yeah, that's exactly the way i put my projects together. I'm using the T4 disk feature but I'll gladly accept other people's solutions/suggestions.

How can i work my way around this?

I'm about to try simply mirroring my directories but this will result in a less speedy workflow i guess.

Opening the ftp mounted folder as its own project would work. I’m not sure if a simple symlink into your project directory would work as well, you might try that.
