For example if you have all your projects under ~/Projects then you can do:
mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Favorites
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Favorites
ln -s ~/Projects "[DIR] My Projects"
This will then have all the folders inside ~/Projects show when you choose Open Favorites… (⇧⌘O).
Long-term it might be useful to store actual property lists in the favorites folder, akin to smart folders (i.e. describe a query for what to show) and/or allow descending into the folders shown in the ⇧⌘O window.
We have TextMate create a named socket that ‘mate’ can use to contact the main application. Previously it was hardcoded to ‘/tmp/avian.sock’ which is bad on a multi-user system.
Placing it in the user’s temporary directory should ensure it doesn’t clash, yet still give us a predictable path (for mate to use).
Presently we maintain the old socket path as a link to the new location so that old versions of mate will still work.
Previously we installed this from the Bundle Support bundle’s support path.
While the Bundle Support bundle is a requirement to work with TextMate, including mate in the resources section should ensure we always get the latest build and address issue 53.
