text-editor sublimetext auto-update sublimetext3
JaTo picture JaTo · Sep 2, 2013 · Viewed 16k times · Source

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make it so that sublime text 3 automatically updates the sidebar when i add a new folder/file to the current project in finder (osx).

Right now, I have to manually go to Project -> Refresh Folders

My user preferences are probably not the issue as they are very basic:

{
    "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Solarized (Light).tmTheme",
    "font_size": 18,
    "tab_size": 2,
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true
}

If anyone could help that would be great as I have tried googling, searching for an answer to this but havent found anything that works.

Thanks in advance.

I recently began experiencing this issue and it turned out to be DropBox related. Once I removed DropBox and restarted my machine the folder refreshing began working as before. Also, DropBox was affecting several other apps, specifically SourceTree and Transmit as well as Sublime Text 3.
