Hey Everybody, I'm new to this list and haven't figured out where I can search it so I apologize if this has been mentioned before. I use TextMate from several different computers but I maintain only one set of Bundles/Themes that I store in Dropbox and then create a symbolic link to them from the TextMate app. With the TM2 update I've noticed when I try this trick, TextMate crashes on launch. I know this is a pretty specific use-case but I can't imagine I'm the only one who's employing this trick. When you get a chance (I'm sure there are many other more pressing issues), could you look into this? Please let me know if there is any more information you need me to provide to address this issue.
P.S. Great job on the new release, I'm excited to see it mature into a full release.

I have a similar setup (I used aliases instead of symlinks), although I’m having a different set of problems.
1. Any bundles or themes I install through Preferences don’t show up in the relevant menus. e.g. I installed the LaTeX bundle and Solarized themes, and I couldn’t find them in the app.
2. Loading the Markdown and Multimarkdown bundles crashed the app (for which the crash report is attached).
For a temporary fix, I removed the aliases and just had two (unlinked) copies of the folder, synced using Hazel. This made the two problems above go away, and I haven’t run into any since. Obviously that isn’t a great solution, but it should get it working for you.
Please let me know if there is any more information you need me to provide to address this issue.
I’d suggest a crash report; but otherwise I can’t think of anything.
