[quote=“facelessuser”]I saw a post earlier today asking about a way to access favorite files that are not found in projects, and I thought that it would be a fairly easy plugin to write.
So here it is: github.com/facelessuser/FavoriteFiles
You can add and remove files via the command palette. And you can access your files via a quicklist with a command.
It keeps a json file in your User folder with all of your favorite files.
I just put it together, so let me know if you find any bugs or if you have any suggestions.[/quote]
I told you you’d find something else to do
The funny thing is, I was just thinking about this myself, yesterday. Though, in my imaginary world, I would be able to name groups of related files. For example, one of the projects I work on is a PHP application that uses Smarty for templating. While this particular application doesn’t use any kind of framework, I have been trying to bend it to my will over the past few years, applying what I’ve learned about structure from other projects (Rails and such). I tend to have a PHP file that is something like a controller, another one that is something like a model, a JavaScript file, a CSS file, and the related Smarty templates. I have these collections for each functional area of the application. I was thinking it would be nice to be able to gather these files together in some settings file under a common name and be able to open them all at once, almost like subprojects but not quite.
I’ll take a look (when I have time) at what you started and see if it might get me part of the way there.
