If I have a project open, and create a new file (CMD+N), I notice when I try to save it, it doesn't default to the projects directory. Is there a way to adjust this?
I know you can create a new file with SHIFT+CMD+N, but that forces you to give it a name there and then, which is rarely what I want.
Im wondering if its somehow related to projectDirectory in .tm_properties? Most of mine are set to "$CWD" just because every example I saw uses that.
If this is the cause, Is there a way to set project directory to the same location as .tm_properties, without having to provide an absolute path?

Using ⌘N will create a new window which isn’t attached to any project.
Instead use ⌥⌘N to create a new (untitled) tab in the current project. The default save path for this will be the project folder or, if there is a file browser selection, the path for the selected item.
Hint: You can specify the default file type for new tabs, for example if you mostly create HTML files then put this in the project’s .tm_properties:
[ attr.untitled ] fileType = 'text.html.basic'

Not directly related, but you can probably remove all those settings from your .tm_properties files.
TextMate (now) assigns a project folder automatically based on the first folder you open. If you wish to change it, you can use the file browser’s drop-down menu (at the top) to select “Use «folder» as Project Folder”.
Thanks Allan, this is really useful
I see its actually in the File menu, under New Tab. Not sure how I missed that
Good tip about the default file type too :)
