Hey guys, cool editor. I think it would be good to refactor the menu a little,- as for now the menu-entry "Edit" gets cluttered very fast. I think sub-menus would help a lot! scrolling down, especially on a Desktop with 22", seems a bit contra-productive.

@Anachron Currently in progress, we're hoisting out a new top-level Search menu to help alleviate that: adobe/brackets#7488
Sub menus are a bigger engineering item that we'd like to bite off eventually, but won't get to quite yet
Anachron
@Anachron
@peterflynn That's cool,- just wondering if you will also refactor other menus? What is stopping you from sub-menus? Also, what's planned for the next (39) release? I just came back to brackets after like 6 months, and I am not sure how you did it, but it works a lot faster and more smooth.

@Anachron AFAIK, it's the shell implementation which is stopping them from adding submenus. They'd need to implement and test at least 3 completely different versions (Windows, Mac and HTML, maybe even Linux in case they get Native Menus until then). Here are the things planned for Sprint 39: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/brackets-dev/ng4shUMsl1s And yes, the performance is much better now, but it were small steps :)
Yes, I have seen it, it's actually a cool thing, even while it's not published or open-sourced yet. But it's not the main target of a split view, so at least the first version will be just a normal split view, similar to the ones in other editors.
Btw, you can easily join the group by clicking "Join group"

@Anachron
Split-view like in Sublime Text, for example? As for me, it's totally fine. Is there any plans on grouping and custom layouts too?
Btw, I'm not an Adobe guy or much related to Brackets, I'm just a user who contributes sometimes ;) So if you're looking for more information, better wait for one of them.
SAPlayer: yes, the Trello backlog definitely needs a good scrubbing. For these items, and any others you find, add a comment stating that it's already done (even partially done)
Marcel Gerber
@MarcelGerber
On GitHub and in brackets-dev threads I saw multiple people having problems to understand the "projects" in Brackets. Because of that I wonder if we should update the Getting Started content to contain some informations about this topic? What do you guys think?
Anachron
@Anachron
When will drag & drop file/folder support be added to Brackets? How do you handle file changes, do you have a watch-command?
Marcel Gerber
@MarcelGerber
The watchers are implemented natively, but that's all I know.
Marcel Gerber
@MarcelGerber
Out of curiosity, do you guys get such console messages sometimes as well?

SAPlayer - I get them all the time ... just ignoring it :)
File watchers are implemented but they might easily stop working without user knowledge (an extension can cause this very easily if it works with Node domain code) - probably some sort of notification icon somewhere would be appropriate when file watchers are offline.

@SAPlayer Regarding the user stories you mentioned a few days ago, notice there's an "Almost Done" label on them -- that usually indicates the main feature has landed but is still missing some polish and/or needs unit tests
@SAPlayer I like the idea of adding something small to Getting Started about projects / "Open Folder"... I'm not sure how many people will read it, but it couldn't hurt. Do you want to put up a PR with a proposal?
@peterflynn But at least the two I mentioned look like they're already done - they've got unit tests, they're working quite fine and there are no recent comments on Trello. I won't say anything if they stay open, but I don't see a reason.
@peterflynn I may look into this deeper on afternoon (it's 3am in Germany) - but just saying, English is not my native language
Peter Flynn
@peterflynn
@SAPlayer Yep, good point. I started doing a cleanup pass on all those "almost done" cards a while back, but it got bumped by some more urgent stuff. At one point @jadbox we going to do a bigger backlog cleanup but I think he eventually stopped working on that as well. Too many higher priorities :-) We'll definitely get that stuff cleaned up eventually though...
