As an aside, is there any intrinsic benefit to using a project file vs. just moving to the directory (in which I live) and typing `mate .`?
Not looking to start a holy war, but I'm just wondering if I'm missing any project file goodness?
Unless I am doing something wrong, I find that it is not possible to have project-specific environment variables unless the project is a project file. In my case I have a folder which is my thesis in LaTeX, split up in a million files put together with a master.tex file, so I want, when using this project, for the environment variable TM_LATEX_MASTER to be set to the path to this master file, so that compiling from any file will result in compiling the master file. Just a simple example in my case. Overall I find the folders system more convenient though.
