sublime text 3 sidebar autoupdating not working

Question

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

Answer 1

I had this problem after reinstalling Sublime Text 2 and symlinking.

A workaround I found was binding the refresh_folder_list command with cmd+s, since that's usually when we see the sidebar updating.

For this to work you'll need to install run_multiple_commands plugin.

Then you'll have to update your User Keymap telling it to refresh folder list every time you save. The syntax is fairly simple.

I also ran across Synced Side Bar after fixing the issue. I am not sure if this is a solution but sounds promising.

Hope this helps.
