  • The trick is to point at the binary and not the application folder.



    For example. TextMate.app is just a folder. You need to point to

    the executable at this location.



    /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin



    To do this, you need to get past the application's folder.

    When you are setting the preferences, you need hit the

    key sequence of Command-Shift-G to target the binary within

    the Application's folder.



    Great plugin!


  • /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate is what worked for me

MS Outlook 2007 Previewer Issues - VMware Fusion

"The Windows registry key...HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Security...has a string value called OutlookSecureTempFolder...and...when the VM is shutdown and restarted...this key gets defined as a folder on the vmware-host share...because My Documents has been re-mapped. Unfortunately, Outlook preview does not like this mapping to the vmware-host share for some reason.

If, after you re-start the VM and before you start Outlook...you simply change this key to a value pointing to the local VM drive...like "c:\Outlook Temp" for example...then, when you start Outlook...preview will work fine..."
