I'm running Leopard and use Spaces. I also use the 'mate' command a lot, often from a different space than the one in which TextMate is running. When I run "mate /filename/" (or "mate /directory/") from a different space, the new TextMate window opens in the space TM is already in and I'm switched to that space automatically. I don't mind that. But the new window opens /underneath/ the existing TM windows. I often have a number of windows open (a couple different projects, a web preview window, etc.) so the new window ends up being completely covered.
Is there any way to change either TextMate's or Spaces' behavior so that new windows get opened in front of the others?
I have this problem also, when opening files remotely via Cyberduck. That is to say, the file always opens in the background when I simply double-click it in said FTP client instead of downloading it.

This article (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2008021122525348) shows how to disable the autoswoosh of spaces. In essence each space is then a completely independent workspace. Clicking on an app in the doc will not automatically swoosh you to a new space, and command+tab doesn't take you off your current space. You can then create, for instance, a TextEdit window in two different spaces, and creating a new window in TextEdit will show it in the space you are in and put it on top as you would expect it should. In my oppinion this is the way spaces should work. Hope that is helpful, Tim
