[FEATURE REQUEST] Option for refreshing browser if files/folders are updated, but do nothing with them.

Open furioursus opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Currently we have three options for how to handle files/folders:

  • Ignore
  • Process / Compile
  • Copy (Without Processing)

In most instances, this is probably all that's needed, but I'd propose that for CMS users who have a static location set for their template files (often at the root folder, not in a source build or anything) that there be a fourth option that just instructs the browser to refresh.

A simple view of my project directory:

./
./config <== CMS configuration files
./templates <== CMS templates
./source <== Source Files
./node_modules
./web  <== Document Root

Currently if I set config and templates and web all to ignore, then making changes to those files will not make anything change in the browser. This isn't the end of the world and a simple refresh can be handled manually, but it would be helpful if CodeKit had the option to refresh the window if anything in those folders were refreshed, much like how BrowserSync and others will.
