[Feature request] Resursively close files from command palette [Don't fixed]

[Kristinita]

1. Request

It would be nice, if will be possible to close files recursively from command palette.

2. Justification

I think, that working in command palette — is better. This saves time in comparison with navigation in the sidebar. About more reasons see here.

3. Desirable behavior

For example, I have folder RootFolder:

D:\RootFolder
├───FirstSubfolder
│       FirstFile.txt
│
├───SecondSubfolder
│       SecondFile.txt
│
└───ThirdSubfolder
    └───Subsubfolder
            ThirdFile.txt

FirstFile.txt, SecondFile.txt and ThirdFile.txt open for me in Sublime Text. I open tab with FirstFile.txt → Ctrl+Shift+P → CloseFolder: Close Folder Recursively → all files in RootFolder, include SecondFile.txt and ThirdFile.txt close for me.

Thanks.

Good idea. Will work on it.

FirstFile.txt, SecondFile.txt and ThirdFile.txt open for me in Sublime Text. I open tab with FirstFile.txt → Ctrl+Shift+P → CloseFolder: Close Folder Recursively → all files in RootFolder, include SecondFile.txt and ThirdFile.txt close for me.

Hey just noticed that there is something wrong here. CloseFolder can't go back in hierarchy. So when you give CloseFolder command from FirstFile.txt, all files in same directory as FirstFile.txt and everything below it will be closed. (eg > RootFolder/FirstFolder/AnotherFolder/someFile.txt) .. Everything inside RootFolder won't be closed.

Added the Command Palette option in new release v1.1.0

@aviaryan ,

CloseFolder can't go back in hierarchy.

My feature request about go back in hierarchy( .

Thanks.

[aviaryan]

@Kristinita Well that's not possible because there is no way to define a fixed point of how back we should go in the hierarchy. Suppose, if we go unlimited levels back, we would end up closing all open tabs. (when you have just one folder in project) This is obviously something you don't want.

[Kristinita]

@aviaryan , I save my projects, for example, in paths D:\Project1, D:\Project2 and so on. Is possible to configure the fixed points.

Thanks.

I guess I should close this issue now as this feature can't be implemented under the scope of the project. Though the command palette addition of the command is really cool. So thanks for the report @Kristinita .

[Kristinita]

@aviaryan , the problem not solved. I think, that will be better reopen issue — perhaps, other developers add this feature.

Thanks.
