Does anyone know how to get TextMate to always use tabs for multiple files instead of new windows?
Often I open files directly from Transmit and they aren't in their own project, after more than 2 or 3 it becomes cumbersome.
Thanks! Brian Armstrong
Did you have a look at MacFuse? It is able to mount remote disks (as ftp/sftp accounts, or even ssh) on your desktop. You can then use the files stored remotely as local files, exactly as when mounting usb drives, or afp/smb shares. I've recently heard of a ftp client able to do the same thing, but I don't remember its name. Not very useful, I know, but... at least... one exists :-/
Anyway, for working on remote projects, MacFuse is a good solution, although it is generally safer to work on local copies.
Oh. Depending on the context, maybe should you have a look at subversion, too.
Hope it helps, Xavier Cambar

TextMate doesn't work well for projects on a remote machine, but with that said. I *really* also want the ability to open several files in a tabs, so i can retain all opened files to one window, but that can't easily be achieved as it is now - you have to create an empty project and then manually add files to the project and that's in my opinion a horrible workflow, as you have to remember to create a project..
It would be insanely great if you could just add a "tab" when doing "mate <filename>" and you have one file already open .. I don't care about the polling on the file (checking if anything has changed), when changing focus, and all the other neat stuff. I just want to be able to have multiple files open in one single window, with the apple- T command available for searching through open files, as exposé really doesn't do it for me when having 5-10 multiple files open at once...
But as it seems, this won't be how things work, until hopefully 2.0 handles directory structures on remote filesystems a whole lot better than TM does today.

David,
I, too would love the feature you suggest. Before TextMate, I got used to the way BBedit did it-- all document windows had tabs, and so could be turned into a project at anytime (without requiring the foresight to open a project window first).
In the meantime, my workaround has been to select multiple files from the finder, then choose Open from the File menu, or drag the files onto TextMate's icon in the dock. This causes all the files to open in a new (unsaved) project window.
Speaking of TM 2.0 features, it would be nice if the TextMate drawer would let me drill down on a folder, Finder style. That is, instead of ONLY toggling a disclosure triangle, I'd like to double-click a folder and have the drawer display just that folder's contents.
