where p is the pathname of a folder, what appears in the project browser is that folder plus (hierarchically down from it) all its contents.<br>
<br>
But when I open a folder using TextMate, directly, what appears in the project browser is just the contents of the folder; the folder itself is not in the project browser.<br>
<br>
How can I make the former (`mate`) behave like the latter (TextMate itself)?</p>

<p dir="auto">I think what is happening here is that at one point, you opened <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">folder</code> and then navigated to parent folder (in file browser) and closed the window.</p>
<p dir="auto">The problem is that TextMate stores “state” for each folder, this includes file browser location.</p>
<p dir="auto">So now when you open <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">folder</code> it restores the state, where file browser is actually pointing to a parent folder.</p>
<p dir="auto">I realize in this situation, it will be confusing, and should improve this.</p>
<p dir="auto">For now, try open your folder via <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">mate</code> and then select File Browser → Project Folder (⇧⌘P). Does that bring you back to the expected folder?</p>
<p dir="auto">If you close window and re-run <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">mate</code>, I think it should then behave as expected.</p>
