No new file dialog win 7

#1

Hello,

I just recently downloaded ver 2.0.2 build 2221 on a windows 7 machine. When I try to open a new file or folder there is no dialog box. A new unnamed file opens. To name it I have to then close it and a save as dialog appears.

Is there a setting I need to toggle? I looked a the defaults and didn’t fine anything useful.

Thanks in advance!!

ST simply creates an empty buffer that you can save if you want. There are plugins that allow you to name a file, then open that file automatically. Though I don’t know of any that opens a File Dialog box like you are expecting. You can try something like github.com/skuroda/Sublime-AdvancedNewFile. There are likely others, those are just two that I know of. You also don’t have to close the file to save it. You can save it by pressing ctrl+s, as you would with other editors.
