Textmate String Ranker doesn't work about quicksilver

[tiennou]

The TextMate Ranker plugin source is available, but I don't use TextMate. I will see if that's easily fixable just from source.

[tonyc]

Thanks. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.

In fact, the ranker has nothing to do with TextMate, the name is misleading. From the QS manual:

You can also choose a slightly different matching algorithm by installing the TextMate Ranker (+)
plug-in (which requires advanced features to be enabled) and selecting it as the String Ranker
handler in Preferences.

It makes two changes to the algorithm. The first is that it favors more beginning of word letters
that are touched. E.g., if you type AM it will match Activity Monitor over Adium since two begin-
ning of word letters are matched instead of just one. The second difference is that it favors input
that matches a higher percentage of the words. So the input AM will favor Activity Monitor over
Audio MIDI Setup since 2/2 (100%) of words are matched instead of 2/3 (67%).

As a result, if you’re the type to favor typing acronyms over continuous letters in the name of
something, you’ll probably prefer the TextMate Ranker. However there are reported problems
with matching things in the third pane such as when you use the Open With… action or the
Email to… action. You may find that no results match in the third pane.

Has anybody had a look at this? I find the built-in ranker more or less unusable, would be great to have the TextMate ranker back.

This will be fixed in ß60. At that time a new plugin will be released.

[tonyc]

Is B60 still pointing at the old plugins somehow? In the UI, the TM ranker
(and many of the plugins) are still listed as updated on 09/01/06.

Make that ß61. :)

[HenningJ]

@tonyc: Yes, the pluginlist is still pointing to an old list. That will be fixed in ß61 as skurfer mentioned.
But the TextMate Stringranker Plugin is fixed in ß60. It's just that somebody still has to release the updated plugin. @skurfer or @pjrobertson could grad the lastest source from https://github.com/quicksilver/Plugins/tree/master/QSDuffsRanker/trunk/QSDuffsRanker , build it and put it on the homepage?

@tonyc, once that is done, you'll be able to download the new plugin from http://qsapp.com/plugins/

[tonyc]

Thanks, guys!

@fheckl can the commit HenningJ linked to above be turned into a pull request?

One small thing: the implementation file has the extension .mm (DuffStringRanker.mm)

[HenningJ]

@pjrobertson: everything is already merged (I think :-)).
And the extension is correct. It's a C++ file, that's why it needs the .mm extension

[pjrobertson]

Sorry - right you are :)

I think I know why I was reluctant to release this on QSApp.com - since QSApp.com doesn't have any version checking, users with ß59 may download it and have problems. It's the same case for the WebSearch Module and my 1Password Plugin.

I guess it's just a simple case of adding a (ß60+ ONLY) to the name - should be pretty easy

[HenningJ]

right, I didn't think about that. Until we get the plugin stuff, adding a warning to the name is probably the easiest solution. :-)

[pjrobertson]

OK done.

Can somebody who uses/knows about the plugin download it from
http://qsapp.com/plugins and let me know if it's right? I just built it and
hoped for the best :)

Seems to work. @tonyc please report back as well once you tried it.

[tonyc]

Works great, thanks! The updated name didn't appear correctly in the UI but it seems to function properly.

[pjrobertson]

Its actual name doesn't include the (60 ONLY) part, if that's what you're
referring to.

Great that it's working - I'll tweet about it now from LoveQuicksilver
twitter
