Opening folder using dock icon does not open sidebar

#1

Just switching from ST2 to ST3 (I know, so behind), and am having trouble with opening folders as projects in ST3 when the folder is opened by dragging and dropping on the dock icon.

In ST2 if I dropped a folder on the dock icon, a new window would open, and the folder’s contents would be shown in the sidebar. See: https://screencast.com/t/pRKUSXyzt

In ST3 when I do the same thing, the folder is opened/added to a new project in a new window, but the sidebar is not shown.

This seems counter to the behavior in ST2, and different to what’s described here, and seems to have been released in Build 2091.

I looked through preferences and searched the forum to figure out a way to have the sidebar shown by default when opening a folder as a project, but have not found a way to make this happen.

What am I missing? Can this still be done in ST3? Thanks.

Installing the SideBar Enhancements package and restarting ST3 seems to have given me this behavior back. Just replying to myself in case anyone else has the same question in the future.
