I use this in ~/.profile: alias mated="mate *"

The mate command can do that (alias it to e), although I'm quite sure DHH actully just has this in his ~/.bash_profile:

alias e="open -a TextMate"

There is an Ruby on Rails video " 15 minutes weblog ". And there he uses the command 'e .' to start textmate with te current directory as project.

Anyone got that command tool ??? I want it!! :D

Gromski: Glad you like it!

As for re-creating the link, you can get the wizard again using the Help → Terminal Usage… menu action :)

In the future though, I'll detect when TextMate is launched from a new location, and update the link accordingly.

If, like me, you moved TextMate.app after opening it for the first time, the tm/'mate' command won't work from Terminal anymore.

I tried recreating it from the command line but for some reason I just couldn't get it to work.

The solution is to get TM to create the link for you again. Just delete your com.macromates.textmate.plist from /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences and the next time you start TM it'll ask you whether you want to create the link again.

If you've got a custom theme saved then you should be able to just open the theme file and TM will pick up your prefs again.

Only been playing with it for a day but TM is absolutely great...goodbye BB :)

hi, this is OT but i couldn't find a more appropriate channel for my question: where/how do i report textmate bugs? none of the wiki pages seemed appropriate. sorry if i am missing something obvious.

thanks for a great product! john

Michael: What are .CMD files, and what would TM do with them?
