I seem to be ending up with two TM dock icons quite a bit lately, not 100% sure but it seems to coincide with when I accept a LiveUpdate.
No causing me a problem but I just wonder if this is normal? Feels like it might be a bug that nobody has yet reported....

Do you have the “is running” indicator enabled for the dock, and if so, does it show only one of the two instances running?
What if you right-click the dock-icon and select Options → Show in Finder, do the two dock icons point to the same location?
The way the updating works is that it actually writes a new Contents folder _inside_ TextMate.app, so there are never two TextMate.app files on the disk, so it would be surprising if the system still manages to see two (unique) versions.
That said, there has been issues in the past with multiple TextMate.app entries in Finder’s Open With menu, but that was before I started overwriting Contents instead of writing a new TextMate.app.
Thanks Allan,
I don't have an answer for any of your questions just yet It's not something I can reproduce, it's just something I notice happening occasionally (and seems to coincide with a live update, but not 100% sure)
I'll gather some more info next time I see it
Cheers Paul

Have you ever built TM from the source? I’ve had some forks that I’ve played with that sometimes get picked up as the real TextMate. That, iirc, has lead to multiple TM’s in my dock.
I forget if they were both active, or if starting one focused the already opened version.
Thanks,
Graham Heath

I just had this happen again, but as Graham suggested, it seems to be due to my custom TM build.
'ps aux | grep textmate -i' confirmed both instances were from different paths.
I'm guessing after updating, TextMate just asks OSX to launch TextMate without an absolute path? So it seems to pick up my custom build, which is in home/build and hence in my $PATH
Not a problem now I know whats causing it
Cheers

It does use an absolute path, but via x-man-page://1/open so in theory this command could use the absolute path to obtain the bundle identifier and then use that, but this would be strange.
I’ve added a note about this, so I may do some testing in the future.
