Is there anything similar to the Project or Drawer functions in 2.0? I used to love having all of my commonly-used files grouped in the drawer in 1.5, but can't find any way to do this in 2.0. Cheers, p

That's not possible if they're not in the same directory. If they're not, you could try creating a smart folder, see if that works.

Or you can create a folder, e.b. called "my_project" on your hard disk, put aliases of your commonly-used files into that folder (hold command + option keys pressed while dragging and dropping in the Finder) and then open "my_project" in TM 2.

I’d recommend symbolic links over aliases, as the former is a file system feature, so supported by everything, where the latter makes the application layer responsible for properly resolving them, so not all code will do the right thing.
A symbolic link can be created from terminal by changing to your project directory then running:
ln -s /path/to/file
This will create a symbolic link named ‘file’ in the current folder. In general though you probably want to make the symbolic links relative.
TextMate’s file browser can also create symbolic links via drag’n’drop and holding down control, but these are always made absolute (though I’ll probably change that).
