Favorite Files

#36

[quote=“facelessuser”]Known bugs:

  1. Windows returns “.” instead of “” for no project, this makes Favorite Files think it has a project. I will fix this later today.

This issue is now fixed.

Version 0.5.1

  • More explicit match for finding project files

This should really do it this time. Man this per project stuff has been a headache. I sure hope we get some method to get the project file path in the future.

Version 0.5.2

  • Rework logic to catch renamed projects
  • Strip tabs from session which can break the parsing

Version 0.5.3

  • Catch project rename when when opening or removing items from list (will only catch after a file has been saved).

I plan on submitting this to package control by the end of the week. @phillip.koebbe, if you have any outstanding issues, please let me know; actually, give me whatever feedback you can so I know if this solution is acceptable. I think this covers all scenarios now, but I want to know how useable the solution is from other people before I decide to leave per project on by default.

I am now catching project renames when opening favorite files or removing them. This catch is only triggered after a file has been saved, I have purposely opted not to refresh during file open commands etc, because I think it would be too annoying. I only refresh when toggling between global to per project. If you rename a project and have saved a file, Favorite Files will alert you that it thinks the project name has changed, and it will revert to the global list. Toggling back to per project will create a list for the new project name.

Feedback has disappeared for this, so I have decided to disable the “Per Project Favorites” setting until I get some good feedback on this feature. It is still there, but you have to enable it via the settings file if you want to try it out.

Version 0.6.0

  • Disable “Per Project Favorites” by default
  • Update documentation
  • Prep for official release

I will be requesting inclusion into Package Control soon.

Sorry, been kind of busy the past few days. I’ve been using it, and it seems to work fine. I’m not using it as extensively as I will at other times due to the nature of my work. When I add new pieces of functionality, as I’m currently doing, I don’t need it quite as much.

Again, I appreciate your work on this. If I run into anything, I’ll certainly let you know. I guess you could almost go by the adage, “No news is good news.”

I usually do, but the “Per Project” feature was such a quirky and ridiculous workaround, I wanted to make sure its quirks were not too annoying for people to work with. I might enable it then if you haven’t been having any frustration with the refresh method or anything.

Am absolutely loving this plugin, fantastic idea and great implementation. Would it be possible to add a view of the favorite files to the sidebar, similar to the “FOLDERS” heading but under something like “FavoriteFiles”?

Not currently. There is no API handle to do this. It would be cool if we could, but we can’t.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this plugin !

I use Notational Velocity (resoph.com/ on windows) => A live search in favorites files and I delete these two software… :smile:

Link a Group to a directory and refresh group (to add automatically new files to group) will be a great feature too.

So you just want a group to link to a folder and show you all the files? This is pretty doable. You can kind of do this already in another plugin I am working on github.com/facelessuser/FuzzyFileNav.

You can crate bookmarks to folders in the settings file, and then just bring up a bookmark panel. It is still in beta and things are subject to change, and probably will.

Yes, it is almost that but the fuzzy search doesn’t search inside a file instantly (it does on two softwares).

It a great plugin too, I hope sublime text to allow modify sidebar for favorites folders in the future.

You can use the ST3 branch: github.com/facelessuser/FavoriteFiles/tree/ST3.

There might still be some issues, but basic functionality works. If you find any issues, let me know.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me in ST3 (3047) public beta :cry: (doesn’t show up in command palette)

Did you install it from Package Control? Package Control will not install the ST3 version. You have to install the ST3 branch manually.

@indianwebdevil, FavoriteFiles, along with the rest of my supported plugins, are only supported on ST3. You can try the old ST2 branch though: https://github.com/facelessuser/FavoriteFiles/tree/ST2.

@facelessuser Thanks it worked.

Glad it worked! I left the old branches around so I could unburden myself from supporting the old Sublime stuff without being a jerk and cutting off the ST2 users.
