Hi ,
I have this issue for quite a few months and haven’t found a good solution.
Thanks in advance, hope someone could provide some insights.
The problem is when I try to open a folder with many sub-folders and files.
Some of the sub-folders are not opened, I cannot click them and they all have a special icon.
And the sub-folders which are not opened are not always the same if I open the same folder multiple times.
You can right click and select “Reveal Link Source” to jump to the canonical path to those dirs.
Yes, using ‘Reveal’ does pop up the real folder.
But it 's outside Sublime.This does not really help
The menu entry Reveal Link Source scrolls the sidebar and expands any necessary folders to show the canonical path for the link you clicked on. If the original source is not part of your project, the first occurrence of the folder is deemed the “canonical path.” You should be able to expand this.
From your comment saying “pop up” and “outside Sublime” makes me think perhaps we are talking about different things? Could you take a screenshot of the result of clicking on Reveal Link Source?

First of all, I am using Windows 10, ST3 Version3.2.1 Build 3207
The right click for the un-opened folders only has “Reveal”, not the “Reveal Link Source” as you mentioned.

Below is the result when I click the Reveal, the Windows file folder just pops up.
Do you perhaps have an override on Default/Side Bar.sublime-menu (perhaps as the result of using a package of some sort)?
This is where the item is in the Default menu; note that the first items in the menu don’t match what you’re seeing above:
The screen shot looks like you’ve got something like Side Bar Enhancements installed and it is messing with the side bar menu. @OdatNurd provided a screenshot of what the default install will look like.
Hi OdatNurd,
I did have Side-bar Enhancement package installed.
After I removed it and re-launch ST3, still sampe problem.
And I even tried download a complete new portable version from https://www.sublimetext.com/3
After I remove the Side bar package.
The right click menu looks like this. Still no Reveal Link Source
What build of Sublime Text are you using?
Can you provide the contents of the Sublime Text console?

Is there any update?
I have the same problem and my build is 3211 on Windows 10.
I believe currently the only fix for this is to use a network file system that doesn’t incorrectly report information on files as being the same as other, distinct files.
Hi there, just to add a bit to this discussion, I’m using build 4113 and I have the same type of problem, however for another reason: I’m using Next.js as a NodeJS framework, and it runs a bunch of stuff on the background, including softlinking some folders, I guess (pages/api/[APIROUTE], for example).
This kinds of break the flow of my development process, since now I can’t quickly get inside that folder to change source files. Hoping this gets sorted out someday, I’m sure it had the best intentions but changing this behaviour based on configurations would be awesome.
I had the same problem in 4113. Different directories with identical content ST defines as linking one to another. But these are two different directories.
