sure but it seems to coincide with when I accept a LiveUpdate.

The way the updating works is that it actually writes a new Contents folder inside TextMate.app, so there are never two TextMate.app files on the disk, so it would be surprising if the system still manages to see two (unique) versions.

That said, there has been issues in the past with multiple TextMate.app entries in Finder’s Open With menu, but that was before I started overwriting Contents instead of writing a new TextMate.app.

I just had this happen again, but as Graham suggested, it seems to be due to my custom TM build.

'ps aux | grep textmate -i' confirmed both instances were from different paths.

I'm guessing after updating, TextMate just asks OSX to launch TextMate without an absolute path?

So it seems to pick up my custom build, which is in home/build and hence in my $PATH

Not a problem now I know whats causing it
