show hidden files and folders in project drawer in textmate

Question

By default, textmate does not show all files and folders in the project drawer.

how do I make textmate project drawer show hidden files, in particular all files and directories beginning with a dot?

Answer 1

Click Preferences > Advanced > Folder References,

Edit File Pattern (minimal change to original default):

!(/\.(?!\W*)[^/]*|\.(tmproj|o|pyc)|/Icon\r|/svn-commit(\.[2-9])?\.tmp)$

as well as Folder pattern (minimal change to original default):

!.*/(\.(?!\W*)[^/]*|CVS|_darcs|_MTN|\{arch\}|blib|.*~\.nib|.*\.(framework|app|pbproj|pbxproj|xcode(proj)?|bundle))$

This only applies to new project folders. For an existing one, you need to edit the pattern after right-clicking on folder reference and choose Show Information.
