Fantastic. Exactly what I was looking for, and with no shell scripting involved ! Thanks Brad.

Paul,

e must be an alias for something like "open -a TextMate "

If you run the command open -a TextMate /folder/path You will get what you want. You may also do the same thing with the tm command that is provided in the latest beta.

Anytime you try to edit a directory with textmate it opens the directory as a new project.

Hi all,

This may have been mentioned before somewhere, but before you tell me to RTFM or look at the Wiki let me say that: I have, and I couldn't find what i was looking for. So, here goes....

In his Ruby on Rails demonstration video clip, David Heinemeier Hansson launches TextMate into a kind of "new project" mode automatically by typing "e /folder/path" in the terminal. Genius ! But... how do I do this ? Is this a feature of TextMate available to the application itself ? For clarification of what I'm rambling on about, the Quicktime clip is here: http://media.nextangle.com/rails/rails_setup.mov ( 2mins 18 seconds in ).

I wanted to ask this question here so others could benefit from the answer before I go pester David for the answer !

Thanks in advance, Paul Burgess.
