Sidebar Icons - Way of targeting a specific filename?

#1

[code]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

scope ??? settings icon file_type_gitignore [/code]

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask. I’ve been hunting around the internet, trying to find the answer to this, but I don’t think I’m asking the right question of google.

Anyway. I’m trying to target a specific filename, of a file in the sidebar, to add a special icon to it. I want to be able to add special icons to things like .gitignore and bower.json, packages.json, while keeping regular .json files kinda dull. Is there any way of targeting a specific filename?

Any hints would be appreciated.

Furthermore, being able to do something like the following would be great.

<key>filename</key>
<string>*.psd</string>

here is for the json

[code]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

scope source.json settings icon file_type_node [/code] so make a folder call "Theme - Default" in ur packages folder and save the file as json.tmPreferences (you can name it anything u want as ST only check whats inside the file not the file name it self) ,about the dotfiles so it targets all the hidden files am still hunting that too.

How about targeting by filename rather than extension?
For example, setting a certain icon for JS files and then a separate one for gulpfile.js?

Not possible.

I don’t know if it still relevant, but I found the way. You need to create a syntax file and add the target name to a file_extensions. For example

%YAML 1.2
---
# http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/syntax.html
name: Log
file_extensions:
  - log
  - log.txt
scope: text.log
hidden: true
contexts:
  main:
    - include: scope:text

And then just watch for this syntax in your tmPreferences like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>text.log</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
      <key>icon</key>
      <string>log</string>
    </dict>
  </dict>
</plist>

That’s actually what A File Icon is doing to add all the different file type specific icons.
