i'm doing that from terminal:
$ touch ~/.MacOSX/.plist $ ^touch^mate
it works fine but i'm extrimely rare need to write to/open from hidden folders so if you need to do it often - yep, option in Save dialog would be good.

While the File -> Open... dialogue has a button to show hidden files, the File -> Save seems to have no obvious way to save a file to a hidden directory.
I was creating an environment.plist file to save in ~/.MacOSX --- my immediate work around was to save the file to the Desktop and use Finder to move the file to .MacOSX --- I have set Finder to show all files using either the defaults command or TinkerTool.
A search of the mailing list indicates that Cmd-Shift-G opens a sub dialogue box to the File -> Save dialogue that allows you to type the name of the directory directly but that would seem hard to discover. Is there a preference in Textmate that modifies the File -> Save dialogue to show hidden files ?
