Huge code-base and file scanning

#1

Hi,

I’m working with a huge codebase (+20000 files). ST2 seems to scan the directory tree in a bread-first fashion. The issue is when I want to edit a file that is deep in the file hierarchy, and go to anywhere does not find the file. That’s understandable and cannot find much to fix it. The problem is that then, I try to navigate to the file trough the side-bar file navigator, and folders take ages until subfolders and files are displayed. I think that the fact I’m trying to open a folder that is not already indexed does not alter the indexing process. It would be nice to alter this behavior to improve responsiveness.

Another request I have is that when this huge file-tree is unfolded, and I click on “reveal in side bar”, the view is not automatically scrolled to the parent folder of the file I’m editing. I have to fold the root project folder and click again on “reveal in side bar”. Could it be possible to automatically scroll to the parent folder always?

Thanks!
