I discovered this quite by accident, and am not sure if it qualifies as a bug.
I was logged in to my laptop as one user, and had a project open in TextMate 2.0alpha. Then I logged in as another user and tried to open a project, and though TM launched, the project wouldn't open. Though I could create new files, any directory I tried to open would fail.
Only when I switched back to the original user and closed the open project did opening a project work in the second instance of TextMate.
Is this a bug? A by-design behavior? Please let me know.
Thanks, Richa

This was opening project/directory via command line ‘mate’?
If so, the issue is that mate talks with TextMate via a named socket in the file system. Presently this name is hardcoded, so there can be only one (but we need to fix that).
Yes, from the 'mate' command line tool. That explains it, then. Thanks!
