Hello,
TextMate has a nice feature for people who want to use projects: when you open several files, it opens them in a single window with a drawer.
But when I want to work with several files, not in a project but in separate windows, what can I do? Do I need to open them one by one? It is the only solution I found, and it's a bit irritating, so please help.
I didn't find the option in the Prefs window, so if I missed something, if you can show me a hidden pref or a plugin for this, I'll appreciate. Thanks!

Hmm, if I understood you correctly try this as a tmcommand:
in the Bundle Editor: New Command; input nothing, output tooltip
content: mate path/to/file1.txt mate path/to/file2.txt mate path/to/file3.txt mate path/to/file4.txt
make sure that you installed mate (Help > Terminal Usage)
Cheers, --Hans
I did exactly what you say, but it doesn't work: when I load several files from the Finder, they still open in a single window.
I think your solution was for a specific list of documents, but I'd like to have several windows any time I load several files from the finder.
Any idea?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Simon, you could try the attached Automator workflow.
The workflow just takes the selected files in the finder and tells TextMate to open them one by one (just the same way as Hans-Jörg's tmcomand).
After you've opened the workflow in Automator you could either save it as a Finder plug-in (so you will select the files and then right-click and select the corresponding menu item) or save it as an application and then dragging and dropping the files on it in the finder.
