I tried to open a folder in TextMate today (one I open often) and it crashed. (It was already running, as always.) Ever since, I’ve been unable to get it to launch.

It detects the crash and asks about restoring open documents. It crashes no matter what I choose there.

I haven’t changed any preferences or bundles or installed any updates today.

I’ve tried:

• defaults delete com.macromates.TextMate.preview.LSSharedFileList
• defaults delete com.macromates.TextMate.preview
• mv ~/.tm_properties ~/foo
• trashed ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.macromates.TextMate.preview.savedState
• trashed ~/Library/Caches/com.macromates.TextMate.preview
• restored ~/Library/Applicaiton Support/Avian and TextMate from a backup taken this morning
• downloaded the app again from the web site
• tried an older version (beta 7.3)
• rebooting, like a poor beleaguered Windows user

The only thing that did work was launching it as a different user, so it’s something with my account, but what’s left?

I haven’t tried deleting all my bundles, but from the dates, I don’t think any have changed since March.
