Copy to other folder on save

#1

Hi!

I’ve tried to google for this but I could not find anything that would help me with what I want. I just started to use Sublime 2 and I am blown away of the power in it. I use Netbeans now and theres a feature I really like there that I wish to have in Sublime. I have my project in a folder in my dropbox folder. When I hit save the files are copied to my localhost folder and I can review the result in my browser. I have version control and I just want to be able to copy a project to a specific folder on save. With what I’ve seen that should not be a problem but I just gotten started using Sublime and this is kind of a show stopper for me if I don’t get it to work.

I’m on OSX 10.8.5 if that does matter and I mainly do PHP.

Thanks in advance! :wink:

I’d use a folder action.
See e.g. maclife.com/article/howtos/h … _automator.

I only managed to get the folder action to fire away when a file is added and not when its saved. If you got an automator flow I’d appreciate some input on how to make on that works according to my first question.

Oh, my bad. I guess they only work with new files… That’s lame.
I did find this: stackoverflow.com/questions/6476 … ated-files
but at a certain point I’d just write the plugin in Sublime. Just make an EventListener that has an on_post_save function.

This is a great plugin which does what you want.
github.com/bcharbonnier/SublimeFileSync

Well, it could have some features added, but it works.
Be sure to checkout the ST3 branch if you’re using version 3.
