Hi, Dumb question for a 12-year user of Textmate (we missed the 10-yer anniversary, it seems: happy birthday TM!), but…
How is the project folder determined? Specifically, I’ve got a tab open which is in a folder marked in the filebrowser (^⌥⌘-D) as the project folder (at least ) it’s ticked in the little drop down menu (see image).
But… If I ⇧⌘-F (find in project), the Dropbox folder is selected… What determines what is set when one used command-shift-F?
In general, I’d appreciate if anyone has pointers to a decent tutorial on how to use project folders.
Not entirely sure how this interacts with the menu options, but one way to set project directory is from your .tm_properties
projectDirectory = "$CWD"
Personally I've yet to find any reason *not* to set it to "$CWD" (current directory) I tend to just open one project at a time though (by using Alfred to call shell scripts, which then simply 'mate /path/to/<project_dir>)

One way to determine it is to drag and drop a folder onto the TextMate icon in the Dock. That makes that directory the $CWD when it is opened.

When you use ⇧⌘F then it defaults to the project folder *unless* focus is in the file browser, in which case it will default to the selected items in the file browser.
If this happens, you can press ⇧⌘F again, and it switches to project folder.
Regarding file browser selection: Note that this allows you to select multiple files and/or folders, invoke the project search, and then only search the items that were selected in the file browser.
I didn’t know it allowed multiple selections, very powerful! And hitting ⇧⌘F to return to project directory is a cool ux tip, very thoughtfully done!
