[TxMt] Re: Projects are gone in TM2?

[Brandon M Fryslie]

Hi Allan, thanks for putting so much time and effort into this!  I hope we
can all live up to your expectations when we are filling it out with
bundles and plugins.  :)

Obviously now is not the time to nitpick features that may change, but
since you mentioned tmproj files were not planned to be supported I've got
a couple of concerns:

First off, I personally use QuickSilver for pretty much everything.  I have
a big folder of tmproj files that QuickSilver indexes so any of my projects
are within a few keystrokes at any point.  I'm unsure how this
functionality would be replicated with 'Favorites'.

Secondly, sometimes I'll add a separate folder or just a few other files to
the project, for reference (e.g. if I'm forking something, maybe I'll keep
some files from the original in there) or other situations in which I'd
like to have quick access to the files.  I like the ability to group
discontiguous files in the file system without actually altering the file
system.

A third I just thought of: sometimes I will have 2 projects containing the
same folder (and other, non-common folders), but the per-project display
settings are different so I am viewing a different subset of the files.
 Not sure if the current per-folder settings can accomodate that.  This one
isn't very important to me but a use case nonetheless.

Just my thoughts on the subject before having actually used TM2 for any
length of time.  :)  Congrats on the bundle system, by the way!  I think
the built in 'Get Bundles' UI, the automatic updating, and the command
dependencies are a very big win.

So...just one more question...when can we expect TextMate 3?

Sorry, I had to.  :)

Brandon
