Hi,
Tried to view an unsaved file fro textmate and got the big red X.

My suggestion is just show anything that is not recognised as text or as markdown. Or throw a choice dropdown for how the user would like to interpret this (and similar files in the future)

    It does show anything that's not on a specific disallow list. What extension did this file have?

    no extension and no real file :-)

    i had an unsaved file in textmate and this as a command:

    open -a Marked.app "$TM_FILEPATH"

    I incorrectly assumed that textmate must be sending a /tmp file, but I think it's just sending nothing?

    need to change my command to save out the file to tmp before opening if filepath is empty

    Correct. Once you save the file TM_FILEPATH should send the correct filename, but until there's an actual file there, I don't think TM_FILEPATH will send anything at all.
