I am processing a big images dataset and I'm trying to reorder the files in classes, while at the same time keeping the original directory structure.
To do this, I make a second directory structure with symlinks to the files in the first one.
Everything works as it should but for one small detail: the symlinks created via os.symlink() do not show the image thumbnail, while if I make a link of the same file (e.g., via right click & send to Desktop) I do see the thumbnail.
I wanted to check how the two link files differ (note, the link files themselves, not the linked file), but if I try to drag the os.symlink-generated file in a text editor it opens the linked file instead (while this does not happen with the .lnk file generated via right-click).
What's the difference between the link files? Is os.symlink making something different than a .lnk file? If so, is there a way to get the thumbnail? And if there's no such way, how can I make a .lnk file instead?

I'm new to godotengine and want to make a project and upload it on github. I just get confused that those *.import files which are created automatically on adding a new assets and *.tres files which we make to save our tileset maps or something else are needed to be uploaded?
thanks.
Keep them. Include them in your version control system. They are text based (basically INI files) and fairly small, and so play well with version control.
*.tres files
The *.tres files can - and often exist - without a file that was imported. If an *.tres file is missing… You are screwed.
and *.tres files which we make to save our tileset
It is not mandatory to use the "save" option on your TileSet. If you add a TileMap, give it a new TileSet and save the Scene, the TileSet is saved in as part of the scene file.
Saving it to a *.tres file will allow you reuse it (on different TileMaps, potentially on different scenes). And it also means it can be modified independently (which is good for version control).
Once you saved it to a *.tres file, that file IS your TileSet, it describes what sections of what textures is what tile. As I said, if the file is missing, you are screwed. You would have to do that again.
What tile is placed where is part of the TileMap data, part of the scene.
*.import files
There a partial here: Godot: what are .import files, and should you commit them to git?. I'll elaborate further.
The *.import files include import configuration (what you set in the Import panel). Know that they must exist along side the imported file. If an .import file is missing Godot will re-import with the default settings (which is not good if you changed them) and recreate the *.import file.
It is also worth mentioning that the *.import files reference files in the .import folder (.godot/imported in Godot 4.0). But there is no need to include that folder. It is a read only cache, it contains duplicates of the resources in a binary format convenient for Godot (and thus not good for version control). With the original file and the *.import file, Godot reconstructs it.
See Files generated on the import process:
Importing will add an extra .import file, containing the import configuration. Make sure to commit these to your version control system!
How do you make a specific folder that has subfolders to be uneditable in Sublime text? ? I know it's possible but how ? Like i have some old projects that I want to use as a reference to study my old code, but i"m worried that I mistakenly edited some parts of that specific module / file, when I'm mindlessly touring around my code.. How do I do it ? like making a specific folder to be uneditable in sublime text that only modifying it can change it . I mean I tried installing this one package : https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Toggle%20Read-Only
But it still gives me a prompt whenever I want to changed something from a file
Your best bet is to make sure that your source code is covered by some sort of Source Control, such as git or Subversion; this is just always a good idea in general and unrelated to your particular question. Having your code under source control means that when you edit a file (accidentally or on purpose) you can see exactly what you edited or throw those edits away and go back to what you had if you want to. If you also push your code to an external server, such as GitHUb (if you use git) then you also have a cheap and easy off-site backup of your code as well.
That said, if you want to make files uneditable, that's more the job of your file system than the tools that you're using to edit the files (in this case Sublime Text).
All file systems and operating systems should have the concept of a read-only file, which sounds like what you want. A file being marked as read-only stops you from accidentally modifying it; depending on the software that you use, edits are either impossible or will need to be confirmed.
In your case, you can do this in a couple of different ways. If you only want to protect a couple of files, then you would do a Right click and choose Properties; in the bottom of the General tab there is a check box you can check to make that file read-only:
If you have many files, you can do the same thing by editing the properties of the folder that contains the code instead:
When you do this to a folder, the property set works a little differently; since you're modifying the folder as a whole, you need to click the box twice to change it from a square (shown above) to a check mark. When you apply the change, you will be asked if you only want to make files inside of that directory read-only, or all files in that folder as well as all folders under it; choose as appropriate.
Sublime will let you open read-only files and will also let you modify their contents, but when you try to save you will get a warning dialog telling you that the file is write-protected; you need to confirm if you want to actually save changes or not; (other software may not prompt with such a dialog and may just fail):
If you choose to save, you will remove the read-only attribute and make the file normal again.
If you want to make a file completely un-editable so that you can't even accidentally change the file, you can achieve that with a simple plugin in combination with making the file read-only (see this video if you're not sure how to apply a plugin):
import sublime
import sublime_plugin
import os
class ReadOnlyListener(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def on_load(self, view):
if (os.path.exists(view.file_name())
and not os.access(view.file_name(), os.W_OK)):
view.set_read_only(True)
EDIT: The internal View Package Files command will open package resources from sublime-package files transparently and give them a filename that represents where they would exist on disk if they were not in the package file.
The plugin from the original answer would stop you from being able to use this command by noting that the file is not writable (because it does not exist on disk) and make the view read-only, which stops the file content from being displayed because the view can't be modified.
This is rectified in the edit above by only taking action if the file actually exists on disk (the View Package File command already makes files it loads in this manner read-only if they do not exist on disk).
This makes an event listener that checks every time you open a file to see if the file is writable, and if it's not it makes the view read-only. This distinction is Sublime specific; regardless of the underlying state of the file, you just can't make any changes to such a file at all. That doesn't stop you from saving the file even if you haven't made any changes, which would have the same effect as the above.
I save several projects in a same folder by manual click Project -> Save Project As...
and I used to use cmd + ctrl + p to open Switch Projectlist to switch between projects
and everything's works fine.
but today, I accidentally remove my Switch Project list in by click Project -> Open Recent -> Clear Items, so my Switch Project list is empty now...
I know I could add them back through reopen ALL my projects. due to the number of projects is pretty a lot, that will be kind of annoying to add them back one by one.
I wanna know if there's a smarter way to do that for me.
maybe import all my *.sublime-project files from folder or something.
thanks
Short of manually opening every project, I don't think there is any way to do something like this directly. There isn't a command or plugin endpoint that I'm aware of that lets you open a project by name or filename, so it's not possible to create a plugin to do the work, and Sublime doesn't have the ability to pre-load the list of packages directly either.
That said, it is possible to manually update the list of recent projects, but whether or not that is more or less work than opening all of the projects is something to consider.
If you use Preferences > Browse Packages from the menu or the command palette, a file browser will open on your Packages folder. From there go up one directory level and go inside of the Local folder, where you will find a Session.sublime_session file.
Sublime saves it's state into this file when you quit it, and uses it to restore state when you start it again. Here you will find all of the saved information, such as the windows and files that were open and so on.
Changing this file will change the data that Sublime loads, so you can modify the session file to set up the data that you want. You need to make sure that you modify the file while Sublime is not running or your changes will be ignored and clobbered away. Also it's a good idea to make a backup of the file before you start in case things go pear shaped.
Down near the bottom of the file you will find a top level key named workspaces, and inside of it a recent_workspaces key:
"workspaces":
{
"recent_workspaces":
[
"/home/tmartin/local/src/OverrideAudit/OverrideAudit.sublime-workspace",
]
}
This is where the list of recent projects is stored for use in the menu and the quick switch project command. Particular things to notice are that the entries are naming sublime-workspace files, and that the paths are absolute.
NOTE: On windows, the filenames stored in the session file are in a format like /C/Users/tmartin and not c:\users\tmartin; on that platform you need to make sure that you adjust the paths accordingly. As long as there is already at least one entry in the list when you look at the session file, you can easily see how to construct the paths that you need.
Despite the name of the commands and menu items, what you're actually switching between is different workspaces. Every sublime-project is associated with a sublime-workspace file, which acts as a dedicated sublime_session file for that particular project. This mapping is one-to-many in that you can have multiple workspaces for the same project file, allowing you to reference the same paths in multiple windows but have different window layouts.
While Sublime is not running you can edit this file to add in the full paths to all of your workspace files; when you start Sublime up the list will be populated (every sublime-workspace file knows what sublime-project it is associated with).
What remains is whether or not it's quick to come up with the list of files in a way that you can easily paste them into the session file.
NOTE: I know about the Filereader API however I don't want to read the file unless it's clicked on the app. Let me explain.
My project tree files are located at __dirname + "/content/project"
I'm working on an IDE and I'd like to be able to drag and drop a file (or files) into the file tree. (can be any file type .dll, .sh etc:)
Screenshot
So say I was dragging application.exe from my Desktop and dropped it into my file tree.
I'd like to be able to essentially copy that file from my desktop and paste it into __dirname + "/content/project".
I don't know if this is even possible.
Put another way, how can I copy one file from one location, to another location via drag and drop; without reading the files contents?
I spent many many hours the past few days looking into this and it looks as if it's not possible (at least currently).
My best option is to use the FileReader API. So when a text file is dropped, detect it's file type and if the app supports it say a text file I can save the file with the same name and type in the folder; If it's an image I can convert it to a dataurl/base64.
Kind of sucks but best I can do for now.
Just like Search result can feed the listbox (which opens new temporary tab),
is there a way to:
simply select files from one directory and feed the listbox?
select files from multiple directories and feed the same listbox?
Just to rename listbox's temporary tab and you could have favorite list of items over which you could perform more actions. This would increase productivity tremendously!
Regarding #1:
After you select the files activate:
Menu > Show > Only Selected Files
Regarding #2:
It's probably not what you were after, but you can use DiskDir / DiskDir Extended to add files (using a packer functionality, so you create an 'archive' file with extension .lst which contains a hierarchical list of the added files. You can then change source folder and then add more files. Later you just click on the .lst file and it looks no different then your normal file / folder list. Unfortunatelly you cannot rename the files, but you can launch them, with an extra confirmation.
UPDATE
Similar functionalitybut with 'source' renaming functionality limited to one file only (?): Virtual Panel, (File System Plugin, accessible through the Network Neighborhood 'drive'). It can launch files without a confirmation window. Rename 'source/target' file when you use it's own subbar (located here: %%COMMANDER_PATH%%\Plugins\WFX\VirtualPanel\EN\VirtualPanel.bar, make sure that you also have installed the AskParam addon and have paths in the VirtualPanel.bar right (both to AskParam.exe and VPBatch.exe). 'Regular' rename will change the file name only in the virtual panel.
