Automatic Open of Dependant Files

Post by rickhellewell »

Feature request:

When opening a file, also open any dependant files ... the 'includes', 'css' files, etc. They should be open in their own tabs.

This will be much faster (and more convenient) than having to open each file manually.

Thanks....Rick (new registered/paid user)

I can not recall if somebody else asked for this feature. If we get more votes, we will consider it.
Besides, how exactly do you imagine this?
For example, if you open one file, it has an include - php file. This included file then is opened automatically. What happens if this automatically opened file also has some includes?

Kind regards,

That's exactly how it should work. Opening up an index.php, which has an 'include' statement, should also open up the file specified in the 'include' statement. The open of 'index.php' should also open (optionally, if specified in the options) all dependant files....any includes, css, whatever. Much more convenient, rather than having to manualluy open the include,php, styles.css , etc. that are specified/referenced in the file you are opening (ie index.php).

I come from a Dreamweaver environment, and this is one of the useful features of DW that I miss in Rapid PHP.

Thanks...Rick....
