I don't know if this is a problem with TextMate or a "feature" of OSX, but I have a problem with the "Save As..." dialog. I want to be able to type a full path into the Save As: filename box. So if I want to save the file as "foo.txt" in the "/tmp" directory, I just want to type "/tmp/foo.txt" rather than mousing around the dialog to navigate to the "/tmp" directory, then entering the name "foo.txt".
(And, as luck would have it, MacOS "helpfully" hides the "/tmp" directory from that dialog, so I can't even navigate there! But that's beside the point; I could fix that with a symlink.)
As it is, if I type "/tmp/foo.txt" into the dialog I get a file in my home directory named ":tmp:foo.txt". The translation of slashes to colons makes me think this is probably a mis-feature of OSX rather than TextMate, but even so, is there a way around it?
