Well, it tries to update the running instance.

Are you sure you’re not running TextMate from your Time Machine backup?

Try for example to “Reveal in Finder” from its dock icon.

The way TextMate locates its own executable is by calling [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath].

Is this problem reproducible?

Do you normally launch it from the Dock or do you use some type of launcher (Quicksilver, LaunchBar, Butler)? I just wonder if a launcher is preferring the backed up copy for some reason.

I usually open the project (thru quicksilver) and that opens TM.

You should be able to find out which TextMate.app Quicksilver launches by invoking Quicksilver, type enough to get TextMate showing, hit tab, then choose the "Reveal" action. There's no telling if the app you see when launching directly is the same as the app you'd see when using "Open With..." though.

Somehow also the programs that i;ve used before and arein my timemachine are also on my context-menu when i click for example a .txt document. Maybe it's so that spotight did something strange. .

I would unmount your Time Machine volume and run this (in Terminal):

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/ LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local - domain system -domain user

That will cause your system to rebuild its database of what can open what. If the backed up apps aren't available, they can't be included. (This will also reset the system's notion of what has been launched before, so you will see some warnings when you open a file that launches an application for the "first time". This is normal and will only happen once per app.) Once it's done, you can remount the Time Machine volume, although, perhaps you should force Quicksilver to update its catalog as well before remounting it.

Change the version to 1.5.6 in the 1.5.7 download link.

But learning that you open TextMate by opening the document file, I am 99% certain that the system did actually run the version on your Time Machine backup, and the backed up version was then target for the update.

That's something i can understand .. but maybe it's apple indexing service that's suddenly indexes (even tho spotlight prefs prevent it from indexing) it somehow got indexed and launched that version. Like i said, somehow i also got applications from my backup in my "open with" list

Running the wrong version of TextMate happens all the time for me (since I generally have 3 versions installed), even when TextMate is already running, the system will sometimes find another version to run, when I open a document -- and I have heard numerous complaints from people about Leopard running (mostly trashed) applications from their Time Machine backup.

Resetting launch services works temporarily (as Rob suggests), the problem is that if you open a folder with applications, the system will cache the info from these applications, and it seems that for file types where you did not explicitly assign an application, it is the last one seen, which can handle the type, that gets to handle it.

I'll try tonight ..i've read it but haven't got a chance to do it yet.

thanks
