Thanks for this video. How do you toggle the 2 side-by-side panes?

[@OdatNurd]

The items for that are in the "View > Layout" menu; you can choose the items from the menu or use the key bindings you see there to trigger them that way.

can we have the folders tree just like in a windows explorer? so not only specific but general... also if I click on a file from the tree, I'd like it to open additionally, not closing the previously open files

[@OdatNurd]

You can open as many folders as you want, but remember that for every folder that's open Sublime has to gather the list of every single file that's inside of it and keep that in a catalogue in memory. So if for example you opened the root of your c drive, your usage of memory for Sublime would explode out into the GB as it slowly tracks every file that exists on the disk. Single clicking files in the sidebar opens a preview that's will be replaced if you click on the second file. You can double click the file to open it permanently if you want to open several.

[@craigdanielmaceacher]

How about workflow combo with Merge? I haven't really figured out how to use them together as much as I might be able to?

[@OdatNurd]

Thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't thought of videos regarding the two together, but that seems like a great idea.

[@KonstantinosKonstantinidis1993]

Thanks for your video! Do you know if it's possible to prevent Sublime from updating the workspace file? Alternatively, is there any way to store a fixed set of opened files that I can re-open later? For example, if I accidentally close a tab, Sublime will update the workspace file and next time I open the workspace, the file won't be opened and I might not even notice. This is completely unintuitive compared to Notepad++ which can store a session of a specific set of opened files. In Notepad++, the stored session will never change unless I explicitly overwrite it.

[@OdatNurd]

The workspace files are specifically there to allow you to recover back to the last state that you were in. There's no way to stop Sublime from updating them (other than to not use them I guess, but that's also not what you want). I think the closest you could get to that would be a plugin that stops you from closing files you've opened, though that seems like it would a reciple for a window that gets overcrowded over time.

[@khomo12]

Great!

[@marcozambello4406]

Good. Just one question: how to reload all files (in different paths) in a project if the mapped disk is not available? (os : windows) thanks

[@OdatNurd]

I'm not sure that's possible in the general case. If you start Sublime and files that it has open don't have any unsaved changes and also don't appear on disk, it will close the tabs for them. I don't think there's a way via a plugin to determine what tabs existed prior to that happening.

[@widiudb3313]

Thanks, Dad!

[@midvok3918]

The only thing I find annoying is that when I exit Sublime (without closing the Project first), the next time I open the Project/Workspace it's always cleared and never remembers the previously open tabs. I have the `"hot_exit": false`, because I don't want to open the recent files when just opening random files from File manager or want to open another project. However, I think the state of Project/Workspace should be always remembered when exiting the program (at least other IDEs/editors do it that way). So, I wish there was some setting to automatically close the open project before exiting to prevent losing my state when I forget to click "Close Project". Does it make sense?

[@OdatNurd]

There's been some stuff changed about this in the latest builds, but I'm not sure offhand if it addresses the concern that you have here or not. It's a much wished for item to be able to save State and also not recall it for certain circumstances though.

[@NolleRacingTeam]

i have a qwestion how can send a project to my mate. If i safe the project and send it to my mate he CAN open it

[@OdatNurd]

If you set up your project so that the sublime-project file is stored inside of the project folder, you can include it when you share the files, such as including it in the zip file or adding it to source control so that other people can check it out.

[@mauroreisvieira]

Another great video. I use the Sublime Projects a lot, but the big issue, is not possible remove a project.

[@OdatNurd]

Thanks! I agree, I consider it a bit of a weird omission that it's not possible to remove some projects from the current list. I ended up writing a script that cleans older projects up for me when they no longer exist. If you're interested, it's at github.com/STealthy-and-haSTy/SublimeScraps/tree/master/session_cleaner

[@darrellmayenschein6877]

I know you don't use it, but for us beginners using Linux that don't have TCC, would you be willing to do a tutorial on setting up Sublime Debugger?? I've been following your Build Systems playlist, but I'm still a bit foggy on how to implement that package. It's okay if not; I'm just curious :). You make very helpful videos! I appreciate the time and effort you put into these.

[@OdatNurd]

Thanks! We can definitely add that into the list. In fact in a live stream two or three weeks ago we actually played with that package a little bit for the first time.

[@darrellmayenschein6877]

@@OdatNurd Sweet! I'm excited for that. Really? Dang, I'm kinda mad I missed that haha. Did you happen to upload it here? Would you be able (and willing) to drop a link to it? Or should I just wait for the vid?

[@OdatNurd]

@@darrellmayenschein6877 the video might be a bit, but the live stream playbacks are in the Sublime text live playlist. I just can't remember which one it actually was...

[@joukenienhuis6888]

Great video, but it is very irritating and hard to see the action before you are talking about it. I hope it is because of my computer.

[@OdatNurd]

Sorry to hear that; this is one of the videos in which I talk about things as I'm actually doing them, so it's on purpose that you can't see what's about to happen until I say it's happening, if that's what you mean. Or perhaps there is a sync or playback issue?
