Open Folder Problem (video demo)

I’m not sure why, or if it’s a bug, but every time I open a folder in ST, it opens a new window. Should it just make that folder accessible in the sidebar?

For that matter, should there even be an “Open Folder” command? Shouldn’t there be a drill-down Explorer in the sidebar?

This trips up a lot of new users.

Sublime Text is project based.
The sidebar explores project folders; it’s not for arbitrary file system folders.

If you want to add folders to your sidebar use Project > Add folder to project
