I have been running into a problem with Textmate that for me, anyway, is a major hurdle. When I'm editing an HTML document, and I'm using Textmate's project drawer, I often want to use the open document as a basis for other documents. I go to "Save As..." and name the file, and hit enter. In almost every other Mac OS X program that I know, that command simply creates a new document with the old document as the starting point.
However, with Textmate's project drawer, the old file has essentially been renamed by the new one. I have to go back and re-add the old file to have it show up in the Project drawer again.
I have searched the archives of the Textmate list, and one other person has mentioned it - about a year ago. Some of the suggestions included hiding the program and bringing it back, re-booting the program, hiding the drawer - nothing works at all for me. I can't even drag the old files form the finder, I have to go to FIle>Add.
So my question is: is there any hope for this bug to be resolved? Are there any other fixes that I may not be aware of? I dunno - I would think this would be a rather glaring problem that more people would be clamoring to have fixed. I'm not a hardcore coder or anything - just someone who writes his own HTML. It just seems sort of... well, primary.
I do appreciate the power that Textmate has, and I can understand how useful it can be to people's workflows. But every time I try to "get into" it, something basic like this comes up as a roadblock and puts me off from wanting to use it. (See my old discussion about the Open Document in Running Browser command, which sadly still does absolutely nothing) I want to love Textmate, I really do. Just any help at all would be appreciated.
BTW: I'm on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.4.9 and using Textmate build 1.5.5/1368
