I get that downloading the list of files is slow (FTP is slow as a general rule) but it wouldn’t have to download all the files. It could just create blank ones to match the structure of the remote machine.

For users that want to work on remote files as if they were local, with the full functionality of Sublime, you should try out expandrive.com. Some users find it fast enough, other find it too laggy.[/quote]
ExpanDrive doesn’t work on Linux. Filezilla has the ability to edit remote files using temporaries too. SFTP is better anyway. Seeing all the files listed in the sidebar is mostly just a convenience, albeit a very nice one.
Also, an irritation I found when trying to download several individual files using the quick panel is that it disappears when the bottom panel is closed, so downloading several files in a row (from multiple folders) is a bit frustrating with auto-close turned on. Would it be possible to delay closing the panel at least until the quick-panel has been closed?
