unexpected behavior for listing of files

Open barunio opened this issue 14 years ago • 0 comments

PeepOpen doesn't reliably show recently opened files at the top of its list. Instead I get a seemingly random list of files that isn't of much use. Here is a concrete example of the unexpected behavior that you can reproduce:

Open actionpack-2.3.5/ gem folder in Textmate Command-T and open "helpers/form_helper.rb" Command-T and open "helpers/active_record_helper.rb"

Now, if you hit Command-T, the previous file you were looking at -- "form_helper.rb" is nowhere in the list.

I use Command-T in two different ways: (a) when i know the name of the file off the top of my head and want to get to it fast -- PeepOpen works great for this. (b) when I want to quickly switch between the most recently viewed four or five files I've had open without having to remember what they are named -- PeepOpen fails for this use case

Is this a bug or intended behavior? Will it be changed?

Edit: I noticed on the PeepOpen website that it prioritizes recently modified files. But oftentimes you'll open files that you just need to look at rather than edit. Or you'll modify a file, and switch to a couple other files before you finish modifying it (and therefore before you save your edits). It's very frustrating in those situations to not have that recently opened or recently-changed-but-not-yet-saved file quickly available near the top of the list.
