Hi,
I just came up with an interesting question.
Imagine I have a TMProject. I structured my files in groups, etc. All files are somewhere on my machine. Now I want to take this TMProject with all files! to on other computer. How can I do this?
TMProjects only stores the pathes to the files but not the files by themselves.
Thanks,

You can always git/svn your project (good idea anyway). And check it out to the other machine. Or you can (untested) select all files from the project drawer and drag them to the folder.

Indeed, this would be one way, but not everyone has installed git/svn.

Well, but then I would loose my TMProject structure.

Tho only chance I see is to parse the tmproj file and copy all items found, and make a new tmproj with the "oldL tmproj structure.

I'm sure that Leopard have Subversion preinstalled

Yes. But Guru tell us: do not relay on tmproj ;)

I would strongly recommend against getting too dependent on the virtual grouping that tmproj files allow, as I presently have no intention of keeping that in 2.0.

I see. Then I will follow the taht way meanwhile: Select all files at the drawer and drag them to a folder without keeping the virtual structure.

that's the way i do, each project is a folder with files and i drag that folder to TM project and i save it there. now you can drag with you the project.

Why are groups in TextMate projects being dropped from 2.0 ? It seems quite useful to have a file appearing in several (virtual) places. Without groups I guess I would have to create actual directories and (symbolic) links to actual files which would be less convenient than having TextMate create virtual groupings (or am I missing something obvious here?)

Because the file system is there to group files into folders. Having TextMate do the exact same thing is IMO conceptually wrong. It also complicates things like for example having commands run on a project and generally just makes your project “groupings” non-portable.
Using the file system makes a lot more sense, and things which were previously “project specific” can then instead be “folder specific”, which is generally exactly what it is.

I am not sure I agree that using the file system is less convenient -- but let’s hold off discussing this till there actually is a beta.
Thanks for the reply --- I agree that the file system is conceptually the right place to group files but quite often I want a link to a file to appear in several projects. So either I drop into Terminal and create symbolic link (ln -s <source> <target>) or I use TextMate to create virtual groupings.
If I want (say) TeX to work on the groupings then I have to create symbolic links (not Mac aliases) so I would welcome TextMate creating the links.
Incidentally, Finder in Leopard seems not to able to follow symbolic links as it did in Tiger --- is there a document/web site that describes what is going on with (Mac) aliases and (Unix) symbolic links in Leopard ?

Maybe, one can make usage of Smart Folders instead of symlinks.
