sublime text 3 sidebar autoupdating not working

Question

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make it so that sublime text 3 automatically updates the sidebar when i add a new folder/file to the current project in finder

Answer 1

I just fixed this issue and I think the reason is because I use dropbox to sync my ST3 settings.

Somedays before I restarted with 'reopen windows when logging back in', and found sublime opened earlier than dropbox finished its initialisation, which caused some settings couldn't load properly.

The result was when I used subl . to open project, I found the side bar not working properly. At the first beginning, I just closed ST3 windows and re-run subl, but it didn't work.

Finally I quitted ST3 (cmd+q), and made sure dropbox was properly loaded, then subl again. This time it worked.

Hope it helps.
