It sounds like .tm_properties will handle most of what projects do now in terms of saving state. A discrete project file has one big upside though: Opening the project from outside the editor.<div><br></div><div>How many of us open up Word or Photoshop and do File > Open, vs just double-clicking on an icon, or using something like Alfred or Launchbar?</div>
<div><br></div><div>TM 2 crashes/freezes whenever I tried to navigate to my project directories, so I haven't been able to live with this new workflow, but I hope there's some way to make it easier to use from outside the editor. Even if tmproj is nothing but a one-line instruction to TM to open a particular favorite, it would help.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">While I haven't tried all the favorites and such in TM2 (yet) I will argue that one reason for me to use tmproj is because the app bundles I work on are obscured from normal view, making them cumbersome to navigate to. And there are far too many to add to favorites. tmproj was a nice way to have almost a symlink for TextMate, if you will, to the bundle.<br>
<br>
But as I said, I haven't actually tried the favorites so I will hold off further commentary until I am knowledgeable to speak on such things.<br>
