I have several desktops ("Spaces" in Apple marketing parlance), typically with a few Terminal and TextMate windows on each. When I open a file (whether using File > Open… or the `mate` CLI), it often opens a tab in a TextMate window on another desktop, so I have to hunt through my desktops, detach the tab, and drag it back to the desktop I was originally using.
Is it possible to change this behavior, so TextMate always opens the file in a window on the current desktop?

Try calling this:
TM_PROJECT_UUID=$(uuidgen|tr '[0-9A-Z]' 0) mate «file»
By setting `TM_PROJECT_UUID` to the “null UUID” it will create a new project window for the file (rather than re-use an existing window which’s project folder is an ancestor of the file to be opened).
You can of course alias the above so that you do not have to type it each time.

Useful, but shouldn’t there be a semicolon just before “mate”, like this: — TM_PROJECT_UUID=$(uuidgen|tr '[0-9A-Z]' 0) ; mate «file» — (untested)

Marvelous; that's just what I was looking for. Thanks.
[Martin] Useful, but shouldn’t there be a semicolon just before “mate”,
like this:
In BASH, the syntax `A=B C` means that environment variable A is set while executing C. On the other hand, `A=B ; C` means that A is a local variable which is not passed on to C's environment, so it won't work for this scenario.
[Louis] Thank you again for creating TextMate, I love this editor, and I
think I would not be so fond of programming if I hadn't TextMate.
+1!

Ah, this is useful, indeed. Didn’t know that, thanks for spelling that out for me.
