Project settings file

[bvogel]

I created a project settings file ("project.sublime-project") in my project directory. But I noticed that it's only applied if I open the project through the Project -> Open Project menu. Is there a reason why opening the directory through the File -> Open menu doesn't also apply project settings file?

This is so that you can edit the project (settings) file for that project. If you only open a folder without an active project it will in fact be added to your current project which is either a completely different project or a temporary dummy project you havn't saved.

If nothing could help you, please explain your issue better since I had problems understanding the actual problem.
