Menu entry: "Edit Build System"

#1

This would be a dropdown right below “Tools -> Build System” that simply contains all the custom build systems, and opens up that file. I find myself needing to figure out where they are stored a bit too often. That’s all!

OR perhaps, it is an entry under “Tools -> Build System” at the very bottom below “New Build System…” which edits the currently selected entry, or is grayed out for automatic or non-user entries.

You can find this under Tools > Build System > New Build System… right at the bottom.

No, I understand that. I want to edit one that has already been created without finding it in the user folder.

Apologies, I misunderstood. An easy way to view an existing build system is through the command palette’s View Package File. It also works for build systems not in the user folder.

Had to reference this forum thread just now. I still feel an “Edit Current Build System” menu entry would be nifty, perhaps right under “New Build System.”

Consider this scenario: You make a new build system, save it, close it, but it is invalid, and silently fails for whatever reason. You have to edit it, but… how? The only way is to consult this forum thread you made 8 months ago. What if there was another way…
