I typically use TextMate for two different things: administrating/ updating websites and LaTeX. For Websites I use UTF8, but for LaTeX I have to use Latin1 (since this is what my co-workers use).
However, when I load the website project, every time a file is saved, Latin1 is used instead of UTF8. Is there a way to make that encoding stick, preferably on a per-file basis (at least on a per-project basis)? I suspect that this should be very easy to implement (via metadata) …
Or is there another way to make TextMate respect my choice of encoding?
Thanks a lot.

Unless you check the “Use for existing files as well” in Preferences -
Saving, then TextMate will preserve the encoding (estimated during
load) when saving it.
Of course this means that you will manually have to select it the first time for new files, and as long as the files only contain 7 bit characters, TextMate will not know what encoding it was actually saved in (as both latin-1 and utf-8 are valid ASCII supersets).
I have taken note of the per-project encoding suggestion.
