Why does the TextMate title bar not show the file path when opened with the "mate" command?

When I open a file in TextMate using the mate command the title bar does not allow me to right click to see the path of the file while files opened within the TextMate app do show the full path. Is there something about the behavior of the mate command that prevents this functionality or is this a bug?

Solution

  • If you wish to have the path visible in the title bar the mate command must include the full path of the file. Using mate with an assumed current working directory (CWD) does not inherently provide mate the full file path.
