Re: [TxMt] Changing Open File Name is Not Reflected in TextMate

If one opens a file in TextMate and then renames that file in the Finder, TextMate does not pick up the change and saving the opened file will result in the file being saved with its original name.

I only mention this as I am user coming from BBEdit and am used to it picking up file name changes upon activating the editor window.

I'm not sure which is the best approach but I like the idea of files not being dependent on their name; the ability to re-open a file despite its name having been changed is a great thing so perhaps this should apply to when a file is currently opened?

I personally would not like if TM were to do that. No Cocoa application does that AFAIK.
