File / "Open Recent" fails on FAT drives if you disable extended attributes #35

Closed Stokestack closed 4 years ago

Stokestack commented 4 years ago

I got tired of TextMate claiming that every file on my thumbdrive couldn't be saved, so I disabled all use of extended attributes with:

defaults write com.macromates.TextMate volumeSettings '{ "/" = { extendedAttributes = 0; }; }'

This stopped the complaints, but now any attempt to open a file on this drive through the "recents" menu fails; a document window flashes momentarily on the screen and then disappears. If I double-click on it with Finder or use the File menu, it opens fine.

I tried copying one of the files onto my main drive (APFS), and open-recent functionality works there as expected.

Hm, further detail: If I open the document with TextMate's File menu once and then close it without making changes, open-recent will work. But if I change it and close TextMate (saying Yes to save it), open-recent will fail.

The volumeSettings has not been used since 2.0-beta.12.23, which is about four years old, nor should lack of support for extended attributes cause saving to fail, and neither is related to the Open Recent menu.

Please contact support to get help troubleshooting your issue, and they will file an internal bug report, if any actionable information gets uncovered.
