Description

Sublime Text 3+ Package, It does NOT WORK with ST2, DOES NOT; Use Sublime Text 3 Please.

Provides enhancements to the operations on Sidebar of Files and Folders for Sublime Text. http://www.sublimetext.com/

Notably provides delete as “move to trash”, open with.. and a clipboard.

Close, move, open and restore buffers affected by a rename/move command. (even on folders)

Provides the basics: new file/folder, edit, open/run, reveal, find in selected/parent/project, cut, copy, paste, paste in parent, rename, move, delete, refresh….

The not so basic: copy paths as URIs, URLs, content as UTF8, content as data:uri base64 ( nice for embedding into CSS! ), copy as tags img/a/script/style, duplicate

Preference to control if a buffer should be closed when affected by a deletion operation.

Allows to display “file modified date” and “file size” on statusbar.

Installation

Download or clone the contents of this repository to a folder named exactly as the package name into the Packages/ folder of ST.

Troubleshooting Installation:

If you have problems with the installation, do this:

• First please note this package only adds a context menu to the “Folders” section and not to the “Open Files” section.
• Open the package folder. Main menu -> Preferences -> Browse Packages.
• Close Sublime Text.
• Remove the folder “Packages/SideBarEnhancements”
• Remove the folder “User/SideBarEnhancements”
• Navigate one folder up, to “Installed Packages/”, check for any instance of SideBarEnhancements and remove it.
• Open ST, with Package Control go to : Remove Package, check for any instance of SideBarEnhancements and remove it.
• Restart ST
• Open ST, check if there is any entry about SideBarEnhancements in Package Control(in sections: “Remove Package” and just in case in “Enable Package”)
• Repeat until you find there no entry about SideBarEnhancements
• Restart ST
• Install it.
• It works

F12 key

(Please note that from version 2.122104 this package no longer provides the key, you need to manually add it to your sublime-keymap file (see next section))

F12 key allows you to open the current file in browser.

url_testing allows you to set the url of your local server, opened via F12

url_production allows you to set the url of your production server, opened via ALT+F12

With absolute paths

• Right click any file on sidebar and select: “Project -> Edit Projects Preview URLs”

• Edit this file, and add your paths and URLs with the following structure:

  { “S:/www/domain.tld”:{ “url_testing”:“http://testing”, “url_production”:“http://domain.tld” }, “C:/Users/luna/some/domain2.tld”:{ “url_testing”:“http://testing1”, “url_production”:“http://productiontld2” } }

With relative paths

Imagine we have a project with the following structure

Project/ < - root project folder
Project/libs/
Project/public/ < - the folder we want to load as "http://localhost/"
Project/private/
Project/experimental/ < - other folder we may run as experimental/test in another url "http://experimental/"

Then we create configuration file:

Project/.sublime/SideBarEnhancements.json

with content:

{
    "public/":{
        "url_testing":"http://localhost/",
        "url_production":"http://domain.tld/"
    },
    "experimental/":{
        "url_testing":"http://experimental/",
        "url_production":"http://domain.tld/"
    },
    "":{
        "url_testing":"http://the_url_for_the_project_root/",
        "url_production":"http://the_url_for_the_project_root/"
    }
}

…

You can create config files some/folder/.sublime/SideBarEnhancements.json anywhere.

F12 key conflict

On Sublime Text 3 F12 key is bound to "goto_definition" command by default. This package was conflicting with that key, this no longers happens. You need to manually add the keys now: Go to Preferences -> Package Settings -> Side Bar -> Key Bindings - User and add any of the following:

[
        { "keys": ["f12"],
            "command": "side_bar_open_in_browser" ,
            "args":{"paths":[], "type":"testing", "browser":""}
        },
        { "keys": ["alt+f12"],
            "command": "side_bar_open_in_browser",
            "args":{"paths":[], "type":"production", "browser":""}
        },
        {
            "keys": ["ctrl+t"],
            "command": "side_bar_new_file2"
        },
        {
            "keys": ["f2"],
            "command": "side_bar_rename"
        },
    ]

Notes on configuring the Open With menu:

Definitions file: User/SideBarEnhancements/Open With/Side Bar.sublime-menu (note the extra subfolder levels). To open it, right-click on any file in an open project and select Open With > Edit Applications...

• On OSX, the 'application' property simply takes the name of an application, to which the file at hand's full path will be passed as if with open ..., e.g.: “application”: “Google Chrome”

• On OSX, invoking shell commands is NOT supported.

  //application 1 { “caption”: “Photoshop”, “id”: “side-bar-files-open-with-photoshop”, “command”: “side_bar_files_open_with”, “args”: { “paths”: , “application”: “Adobe Photoshop CS5.app”, // OSX “extensions”:“psd|png|jpg|jpeg”, //any file with these extensions “args”: } “open_automatically” : true // will close the view/tab and launch the application },

FAQ

Q: Why the menu is not shown on Open Files?

• It should be mentioned that the package's context menu is only available for files and folders in a project (section Folders in the side bar), and not on the open files listed at the top of the side bar, due to a limitation of ST.

Q: Can the package stop “show preview in a right click to a file”.

• No, ​I'm sorry, can't figure out how to prevent it.
