Hi list,
When I opened a existing file, then do File>Save as, with a new file name, and the original file will disappear from the Drawer! I can verify the file is still in system, but the drawer is out of sync until I reopen TextMate(or, I have to add "existing file" back into the drawer manually).
Has anyone seen this? This is repeatable and getting very annoying... please help.

if you drag into drawer the entire folder you are working on, you'll not have problems.

Hum... that's solve my problem. Maybe I didn't explain my problem correctly. Here it is again:
0. Open Terminal 1. mkdir test 2. touch test/file1.txt 3. mate test 4. click file1.txt and open in editor. 5. go to File > Save As and type in file2.txt
The file1.txt disappear in Drawer!
Thanks, -Zemian Deng

Zemian, This problem has existed for a while, and as far as I can tell, the collective attitude to it is a bit of a shrug. I had this problem and brought it up with the mailing list back in late April in 2007. You can probably find it back in the archives.
Short answer: there's no real solution. Yes, whenever you "save as" a file (well, at least with HTML files, which is what I use TM for), the original file will disappear from the project drawer. There are a couple of work arounds:
1- Loose focus. That is, switch to any other application (cmd-tab), then switch back to TM. Your original file should reappear in the project drawer. However, that can be rather annoying.
2 - a couple of bundles that tweak procedures. I cobbled these together back in May 2007, and you may find them helpful. The first is a "save as a copy" bundle that works with cmd-d. The second adds a "rescan" function with the command "cmd-R".
I hope these help. I personally find the bug rather infuriating, but sadly have learned to live with it. The good news is that TM2 will apparently totally re-think the project drawer. However, as they say, TM2 should be treated like Duke Nukem Forever: believe it when you see it.
