Using ⌘N will create a new window which isn’t attached to any 
project.

Instead use ⌥⌘N to create a new (untitled) tab in the current 
project. The default save path for this will be the project folder or, 
if there is a file browser selection, the path for the selected item.

Hint: You can specify the default file type for new tabs, for example if 
you mostly create HTML files then put this in the project’s 
.tm_properties:

	[ attr.untitled ]
	fileType = 'text.html.basic'

Not directly related, but you can probably remove all those settings 
from your .tm_properties files.

TextMate (now) assigns a project folder automatically based on the first 
folder you open. If you wish to change it, you can use the file 
browser’s drop-down menu (at the top) to select “Use «folder» as 
Project Folder”.
