permissions pain


when i am in the process of placing -

a textmate file into XAMPP/htdocs i receive a password dialog window to do
the password thing.


the message is:

Type your password to allow TextMate to make changes.


What sticks out here is the words"  to allow TextMate to make changes ".


i could do a screen shot of the window, it has a image icon of textmate and
a lock icon together. so it would "seem" to be a textmate issue ??.


i see that the directories in XAMPP are guarded in root and Admin.

i could change permissions, but , should i.



could a script to allow TextMate to enter do the trick.

i am new to bash. i have a book on bash on the way.

i have been working in PHP, MySQL and some Javascript, i know a little on
functions and such all. i have been trying to get thru the bash man pages.
i could spend a few months learning bash to circumvent having to enter a
password every time i would like to place a file into XAMPP/htdocs

any suggestions besides going to the state mental hospital.

Thank you.


here are some file permissions.

$ ls -la /Applications

drwxr-xr-x   3 moonspoon  staff    102 Mar 14  2011 TextMate.app
