Dev Build 3056 is out now, fixing a couple of regressions with 3055, and drawing a checkerboard pattern behind transparent images.
Dev Build 3056

Jon,
Liking this bitmap feature. It’s handy to not have to leave sublime to check images. Thinking out loud… be lovely if there was a way to have some feature that would allow tip- or sidebar-style previews for image referenced in code as well. Also, wouldn’t a grid-tab be nice for a folder full of images? Dragging them to text would paste the path/filename in. I’ll stop now 
Couple of things about the latest build:
- There is a tendency to ctrl+mousewheel to zoom images, but in fact this silently changes sublime’s font size. I think this is confusing. Zoom would be great
- Bitmaps can be double clicked to load them up. Obviously this makes little sense except that you can keep them open in tabs?
- New statusbar items are nice but they take up a bit too much room on the status line imo; there’s too much whitespace between them. Since the fields grow in size, can’t that whitespace be somewhat shrunk down? It doesn’t leave so much room for status messages at the moment.

I agree. I guess it’s nice that the data are there for some people, although I work 99.99% of the time with UTF-8/Unix, so a config option to hide these new fields would be much appreciated. I have a bunch of other info in the status bar from other plugins already (code hinting, git status, etc.), so the more room I can get there the better.
I don’t have any more debugging info at the moment, but I had plugin_host die on me at least twice today (using Build 3055). Any other experiences of that out there?

Matt,
Guessing one of your plugins might be a bit flaky. I’ve not had plugin_host die, but I use very few plugins in ST3 at the moment. I’d suggest the game of moving candidate plugins into “ignored_packages” and seeing if you can nail the offending one.

I know all about that game, I’ve played it plenty of times before . Problem is, it happened at random times, and I have about 50+ plugins installed (not all active concurrently, obviously), so the game takes a very long time to play…
I just mentioned it b/c Build 3054 had been quite stable for me, and I wanted to see if anyone else had suddenly experienced issues. If it keeps happening I’ll start trending, see if any plugins updated recently, start pulling the usual suspects (SublimeCodeIntel, I’m looking at you!), etc.

Guys, stop with crazyness!
Do you realize what features do you ask for a text editor?

Fantastic!
One suggestion: would it be possible to display PDF files inline as well?

Find in Files still not working.
But at least it’s broken differently:
Searching 2 files for "SLI->MAC:"
828 matches in 1 file
<binary>Back to 3047, I guess.

webkit views/panes would be sweet.

Actually, I can’t see either why a text editor should include a feature to open an image, and show it… can’t you use your favourite image viewer for that?? Anyhow, as far as ST remains fast and “not blowed”, it’s fine for me too.
Note: no intention to trigger a debate here, just wondering…

Well… if the found string is inside a binary file, you can’t open that… it was like that also on last version: you’ll find only in text…

I agree, I immediately started looking for the option to turn them off.
Personally i don’t need the information, and i’d much rather use the pixels for other information (git status, lint hints etc)

yeah, and then please add a web-server, virtualenv management, Vagrant, ESXi and a small Linux kernel.
Seriously, every time I need to work with some image, I have to at least crop it and resize it, so a view-only function is of no usage for me. 80% of the time, I’m happy with OS X Preview’s edit functions, but for the rest, I need Gimp.
IMHO, don’t blow up with that kind of feature, even if it looks good on the screenshot gallery.

I’m all in for custom status bar columns (via API) with menus (github.com/SublimeText/Issues/issues/15) that are movable by the user.

Awesome as always, thank you Jon.
This version introduced a small regression. When empty regions are drawn in an underline mode, the character to the right of the region is drawn as a solid underline. Previously nothing was drawn, which is what is expected, because in fill and outline mode, nothing is drawn for an empty region.

Search in files seems broken in this release in Windows 7 x64.
I’m searching in
C:\Users\Bobi\Downloads\node-v0.10.22,*.ccand I get
[code]Searching 1 file for “main(”
Unable to open /C/Users/Bobi/Downloads/node-v0.10.22
0 matches across 0 files[/code]
