New files & folders do not appear in sidebar

#19

Same issue here OSX 10.8 and ST2 2217. My SideBar doesn’t sync when project is situated inside a Dropbox folder.

I suppose it’s related to what I wrote earlier:

Hi,

same problem here with ST2 2217 and OS X 10.7.5

Everything worked perfecty until yesterday evening.
This morning the sidebar stopped to autorefresh.
Nothing changed in the project settings, nor do I have symlinked files. The problem affects the whole project tree.

I can use the sidebar to delete files and to create new ones… and they ARE created and deleted correctly. Still, it doesn’t update.
Same story if I create or remove a file using the terminal (either through a script or manually). It doesn’t update.

It had always updated automatically… until today I didn’t even know about the “project->refresh folders” menu option. :smile:

I tried to empty the application cache files and preferences, but to no result.

Hi there,

I’ve also just started having this problem. Am using OSX 10.8.2 & ST2 build 2217.

For me, files that were previously showing up, are no longer showing for some reason. Earlier, they did appear eventually after a good few minutes.

Hope we can get this fixed pretty quickly, as it’s really hindering my speed of work.

Other than that, love the app!

New Files Not Showing in Sidebar
#24

I’m experiencing this as well under OS X 10.8.2, and can confirm that it’s not a package or preferences issue. Steps to replicate:

  1. I removed “Application Support/Sublime Text 2”
  2. I installed the latest ST2 (Build 2217)
  3. I opened a folder (using “subl .”), created a new file within ST2, and saved it as “foo.txt” within that folder.

The sidebar does not show the newly-created file. It does appear if I run the “Project -> Refresh Folders” command. The same goes for deleting and renaming files and folders.

Oh, one important addendum: Installing the SideBarEnhancements package fixes the issue.

fyi - I’m seeing this consistently at home w/Linux Mint 13
but never at work where we use Ubuntu 10

At home it’s ext4 local disk.

At work it’s all NFS.

I’d expect more problems like this w/NFS.

Had the same issue on Ubuntu 12.10 x64 but it was regression in new Ubuntu kernel(3.5.0-22-generic) that has strange issue with Inotify. Downgrading to 3.5.0-17-generic fixed sidebar autoupdate for me.

This is in fact the issue. I resolved this by upgrading to 3.5.0-23.

I am still having this issue on Ubuntu with 3.5.0-24. I love Sublime Text and use it on my mac at home but at work on my linux box this is a major pain.

Which build and version of ST? Also, I find this strange since I’m using that kernel and don’t experience this anymore. I had only experienced this regression on 3.5.0-22.

I’m using Sublime 3 on Ubuntu 12.04 x64, and haven’t Files and Folders sidebar at all. Is it a premium feature?

I have this issue on latest ubuntu 16.04 (64) with ste 3114. I have to reopen folder after each creating new file. How can I fix it?

I’ve just noticed the issue, and it was because the “thanks for trying out sublime text” window was in the background. As soon as I closed it and the file appeared in the project tree. Can you try to see if it works for you too ?

Latest versions have a Refresh option (v3)!
Click on Project (Toolbar) > Refresh Folders (Last option)

I found something that worked for me. I encountered this, or a similar error, in sublime text 3 on ubuntu.
When I installed sublime text from the Ubuntu Software center the history would only update if i opened a file/folder with sublime as sudo from the terminal.
I had to uninstall sublime, and remove the directory ~/.config/sublime-text-3/
with:
rm -r .config/sublime-text-3/
After which I installed sublime from the command line with instructions from the following site:
