Plugin request: Less CSS converter

[atomi]

Well yeah, you don't need to name your file blah.css.less it will work with the file name blah.less just the same.

True. I had them set to that as ZenCoding on worked if you have .css in the filename but with the new sublime-completions formatt i don't need zen for css anymore. Great plugin. Thanks

Thanks. It was totally your idea.

I hadn't even heard of dotless.Compiler before this post.

Cheers.

I'm finding this crashes dotless quite a bit on big less files or if there is an error in the file. Where as dotless always works in the cmd. Do you think there is some memory limit for apps run through sublime?

[atomi]

The plugin is really basic. A lot of it is code that was directly copied from exec.py included in the Packages/Default folder.
I did crash dotless once, but that was because I was trying to import a file that didn't exist.

But, If you'd like you can post the file that is causing the crash and I'll check it out.
Or email it to me if you'd rather do that (pm).

What are some good online tutorials or books to read to learn CSS? I want to re-design my website using a Photoshop template but I need to learn a little CSS first were is a good place to learn it online, or what are some good books?

Off topic a bit but anyone managed to get "Go to symbol" working in .less files?

I can't get this to work under the Automatic setting.. and if i accidentally hit ctrl+b while it's on my .css files.. well.. it tries to compile them, but since it's already CSS it removes all whitespace >.<; not ideal.

To my understanding the "selector" of the sublime-build should be set to "source.less" for it to pick up .less files under Automatic shouldn't it? why isn't this working and how do I make it work?

You can check what the source selector is for the current view by using the keyboaord shortcut :
ctrl+shift+alt+p
