Hi All,
Thanks so much for textmate. It has been my happy coding home since I switched to OSX about 8 years ago.
I've been trying out textmate 2, and I really like it with the exception of two glitches that I haven't been able to figure out.
The first is that I can't get cmd-t to work happily with expandrive. cmd-t seems not to find files in a given folder until I open that particular folder in the file browser sidebar. I can option-click the main folder to get it to open every folder, and this works initially, but it the files disappear from cmd-t after some period, so I have to repeat the option-click or manually browse through the file interface to open the file. I'm a keyboard guy, and I really miss just being to hit cmd-t and type in a file name to open a file.
Any ideas for how to fix this? I don't mind much something a little kludgy like having to option-click the parent folder each time I sit down to a coding session, but having to do so every 20 minutes or, worse, having to manually navigate the file browser interface for files, is harshing my happy coding juju.
Secondly, I retain a habit of searching using ctl-s from my previous long run with emacs. In Textmate 2, ctl-s is difficult to use because it does not wrap by default. I can just use cmd-f instead, but I mostly using the find function to navigate around source files, and I aesthetically dislike popping up the giant find and replace box just to do basic quick navigation. Is there any way to change ctl-s back to doing a wrapped search?
Thanks again for a great tool!

I think you should contact ExpanDrive about this.
TextMate uses x-man-page://3/scandir to obtain the directory listing used with ⌘T.
My guess is that ExpanDrive will not indicate (in the result) which item is a directory, unless it has cached info, preventing TextMate from descending into directories.
However, I need a very good reason to change this code, as it should work (with any file system), and the only workaround I can think of (calling x-man-page://2/stat for each item) would degrade performance.

I have added checkboxes for Wrap Around (and Ignore Case) which will be available in next build.
