TextMate frozen attempting to open a large file

Question

I attempted to open a large javascript file with TextMate and it is now frozen. I have tried closing and reopening TextMate but it continues to freeze due to the recently opened file. Is there a way to reset/clear the recently opened files in TextMate?

Answer 1

If you open TextMate from the Finder with a double click and hold shift pressed, you will get this dialog:

"Disable" will do exactly what you want, "Restore Documents" will continue to restore them.

Answer 2

Try setting this parameter:

defaults write com.macromates.textmate OakDisableSessionRestore 1
