Hi all,
I love a lot of things about TextMate - but I'm still having one major problem.
How can I edit multiple files straight from an FTP server in a single window? I use Transmit 3 - which lets you ctrl-click a file and "edit in" whatever. Then, when you save, it shoots the new file up to the server. However, I'm trying to figure out how to do this within one window - like when you're working on a "project". This works fine in BBEdit but in textmate it just won't work. It's probably the last thing that's holding me back from switching over completely...

If you want to use TextMate through FTP, you can still use a project window with tabs.
#1 Open up your FTP add (I've used Cyberduck and Transmit) #2 Open a document from your FTP program into TextMate (cmd-j in the duck) #3 Find the temp folder that your FTP app uses to save the files you're editing (the duck uses /var/tmp/folders.503/TemporaryItems/ on my system) #4 Open that folder in TextMate #5 Close any FTPd files you're currently working on #6 Open a document from your FTP program into TextMate (cmd-j in the duck)
Your temp editing FTP files should now pop up as new tabs in textmate.
For extra slickness, you can save this project, stick the .tmproj in your dock or something and be ready to go at a moments notice !!!!
