How do I get textmate to remember what project i had open last and reopen it automatically?

Right now I have to select it from the menu.

not working for me also... Tried both: defaults write com.macromates.textmate NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool NO defaults write com.macromates.textmate OakDisableSessionRestore 0 Nothing seemed to get previous projects and files to open. Very frustrating. – user28478 Sep 3 '12 at 5:57

By default TextMate should open the last open project or document - but it can be switched on/off - maybe it is off by you ??

Here is how to switch the feature on/off: http://manual.macromates.com/en/expert_preferences#oakdisablesessionrestore

22.7 OakDisableSessionRestore

When you launch TextMate it will open the project / document which was open when you last exited. You can however disable this feature by running:

defaults write com.macromates.textmate OakDisableSessionRestore 1

This means that you should run the above line in a Terminal - with a 0 instead of 1

Strange, totally not working for me, though this appears to be the "right" answer. – Eric Apr 9 '12 at 23:13
