Hello,
I needed to reinstall TexMate but I was surprised to see some variables like TM_FULLNAME etc. still present as well as the previously opened files? Everytime I reinstall textmate I always go back with my previous settings.
~/Library/Application Support/Textmate ~/Library/Caches/ …. ~/Library/Preferences/ …. ~/Library/HTTPStorage/ ….
Where is this data stored?
What to do?
Thanks, Alain
I don’t have the answer, but you can use the opensnoop command from the terminal to see what files are used:
• run sudo opensnoop 2>/dev/null | grep TextMate • Open TextMate • Look back at the terminal to see the files
Opensnoop is part of macos, no need to install any other software. On Feb 19, 2022, 6:33 PM -0600, Alain Matthes via TextMate textmate@lists.macromates.com, wrote:

Hi, I tried but I'm not very good with the terminal. What does : Look back at the terminal ? I didn't see anything but I probably didn't do the right thing.
I remember that I work with Monterey on a MacBook Air. I uninstalled TextMate on a MacBook Pro with Catalina and after a manual search of the files, everything went well. TM_ variables are removed Alain

I ran it just for the heck of it in Monterey on an M1 and nothing happened :
➜ run sudo opensnoop 2>/dev/null | grep TextMate
~ ➜
I use the Terminal (iTerm), but can’t say I understand what this line means.
But since returning to back to the shell prompt immediately on running the code, I wouldn’t expect anything to show up after opening TM.

Try this:
https://freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/
If you've already tried deleting the TextMate main application, just download it again, copy it to the Applications folder, then launch AppCleaner and drag that TextMate application to it.
AppCleaner is one of several similar third party pieces of software which knows about 'common locations' where macOS system frameworks will put files related to application operation; e.g. preferences, caches and so-on. It scans for those whenever an application is being deleted, by checking that application for its name and unique Bundle Identifier and looking for matching-named files and folders.
