How to hide the folder tree at startup?

#1

What is the preference for hiding the folder tree at startup?

I can’t think of a preference, but you can use the View -> Side Bar -> Hide Side Bar menu item.

I have this in my user settings, which will define the behavior for new windows:

	"new_window_settings":
	{
		"show_minimap": true,
		"show_tabs": true,
		"side_bar_visible": true, // <-------------
		"status_bar_visible": true
	}

I’m pretty sure the last known state is persisted with the session, although I don’t know what will happen if you have “remember_open_files” set to false…

That’s cool, jbjornson. I didn’t know about new_window_settings. I did do a little poking around for side_bar_visible and found it in a sublime-workplace file which, if I’m not mistaken (and I very well could be), is only created for projects. I don’t see one in directories that I just open (ie, no project file).

i didnt know about this setting either, but i tried it and it doesnt work for me.
maybe it’s related to plugin you have installed?

I checked on the download page and it looks like the setting was removed in Build 2077…oops.
