Project Manager

A package for saving your projects for fast and easy access, similiar to the one in Sublime Text.

Installation

apm install project-manager

or find it in the Packages tab under settings

Usage

All commands can also be found in the Packages menu

List projects

ctrl-cmd-p (mac) / ctrl-shift-alt-p (win & linux) or Project Manager in the Command Palette.

Save project

Save Project in the Command Palette and write the title you want to save the project as.

Edit projects

All projects are saved in a .cson file which you can easily reach by searching for Edit Projects in the Command Palette.

Settings

Editor settings:

Atom allows some editor specific settings which can now manually be added to the projects.cson file under a settings object. The settings currently available are setSoftTabs, setSoftWrapand setTabLength. After making a change to the settings they can be updated by searching for Reload Project Settings under the Command Palette.

List icon:

This changes the icon displayed next to the project title in the list view. The icon is class-based, so you can either use the classes already provided by Atom like icon-squirrel or make your own class (target :before). The GitHub octicon font is available to use, and most, if not all classes, just replace octicon- with icon-.

Example

'Project Manager':
  'title': 'Project Manager'
  'icon': 'icon-squirrel'
  'paths': [
    '/path/to/project-manager'
  ]
  'settings':
    'setSoftTabs': true  # Enable or disable soft tabs for this editor
    'setSoftWrap': true  # Enable or disable soft wrap for this editor.
    'setTabLength': 2    # Set the on-screen length of tab characters.

Atom Settings

Close Current: Closes the current window before opening the new project
