After the most recent update closing a project (either via the menu or via a keyboard short-cut) produces an empty ST window. This happens regardless of the presence of other opened ST windows.
Please let me know if this happens to everyone (again, Linux).
Main Menu > Projects > Close Project doesn’t close a window on all ST builds on Windows 10/11 as closing the last file doesn’t by default.
For me the behaviour changed with the last update, almost certainly (there is a small chance of some funny coincidence). Playing with “close_windows_when_empty” has no effect on this, by the way.
Well, closing a window also closes its project.
It therefore makes sense (to me) to have a command to close a project without closing its window.
Maybe this change in behavior is related with a fix for not closing windows accidentelly when switching between projects.
To me the current behaviour is counter-intuitive: having several windows corresponding 1-to-1 to several projects, closing a project creates a new empty window. But that is, obviously, a matter of taste.
All I want to know is whether others are experiencing the same new behaviour, and if they do, then whether there is a natural way (not involving, say, API listeners) to return to the old one.
Thank you.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been using Sublime since 2016, primarily on Linux, and using Project: Close from the command palette or the associated menu item has never closed the window; it just removes the project from the window and leaves it empty.
If you want to close a project and also close the window with it, as mentioned above you can just close the window instead.
All right, then I had the “wrong behaviour” till this update. I’d prefer to get it back though: as I said, starting with 5 open windows/projects and closing one project, I would rather stay with 4 windows/projects than with 4 w/p + an empty window.
Closing a window right away is, certainly, a possibility, but it will also close a non-project window (say, if I close it by mistake). Not a big deal, but I got used to “close project” (and even assigned a dedicated short-cut to that) precisely in oder to avoid such situations.
Thank you both for the clarification!!
I do not “close” the thread though: if anyone experienced the said change of behaviour after the last update and knows how to get back the old behaviour, do let me know, please.
Hi! Thank you, that’s what I though too; more precisely: checking whether this is a project and closing the window if it is one (maybe even displaying a pop-up with a question otherwise).
