Auto Open Notes

A Sublime Text Package

Description

When a new window is opened with a single folder:

1. A .sublime.autoopen file is looked for in the folder. If it exists, each file listed in the file is then opened.
2. Otherwise it'll look for a notes.txt, notes.md, readme.md, readme.txt, then readme files in that order in the root folder then a wiki folder and opens the first it finds.

The files and folders looked for by default can be changed in the package settings.

To Use

Try having a notes.txt or readme.md file in a folder and opening that folder in sublime.

mkdir ~/tmp
echo hello world > ~/tmp/notes.txt
subl ~/tmp

OR

Put the files you want to be opened when this folder is opened into a .sublime.autoopen file, like:

# .sublime.autoopen contents
my_other_note_file.md

The sweet flow...

Combined with the Open URL plugin ... create a projects.txt file that you put lines in for each project folder. Then just open this projects.txt file, put the cursor over a line, ctrl+u to "open url" to that folder, and bamn, the folder is opened and the appropriate notes/readme file is opened automatically.
