1) Help issues with current beta
I noticed this morning that help appears to be broken in Version 2.0 (8956).
When I asked for Textmate help in TM2 in the help menu it said that help wasn't available.
Then I typed something into the search box in the help menu, which showed some matches, and then I selected "show all help topics" and the help for TM 1.5 was displayed, and now when I ask for Textmate help in TM2 the TM 1.5 help comes up.
The previous version seemed to have separate help, albeit rather brief, and a bit cryptic.
2) File open dialog
I was playing with the dialog box that comes up when you cmd-T. I've been using Geoffrey Grossenbach's PeepOpen for 1.5, I like the new dialog which allows you to do things like putting in partial directory paths in the search box.
But I'm a bit confused by the tabs at the top. I'm seeing three tabs. The first two always seem to have the same name which is the name of the top-level directory in the file browser, and the third says open files. I suspect that the double tab is a bug. Also it seems to be 'indexing' that top level index when I bring it up, which is taking a LONG time when that top level directory is my home directory, it seems to be scanning all my music, my mail.app mail folders etc.

Whatever. However, Allan's email two days ago announcing r8956 referred to it as a beta release, albeit a bit confusingly.
I'm happy to call it whatever Allan really wat's it to be called.

I though it was pretty clear that you needed to enable "Download Beta Builds" to update the alpha release:

The first one is the project root. It will be current directory unless you set projectDirectory in .tm_properties.

Right, indexing your home folder will take time but is necessary to show you its contents ;)
Presently we’re going with display names which has a lot of file system overhead, we’ll probably drop that etc.
