Unchecking show files fails to hide files after cold start

[emiel]

Version 4.0.0-rc23 (4.0.0-rc23)

1. Start Caret
2. Ensure Show Files is enabled (View -> Show Files) -> Show files checked, files are visible
3. Exit Caret
4. Start Caret - files are visible
5. Attempt to hide files (View -> Show Files) -> Show files unchecked, files are visible

In the last step the files are still visible even though we've chosen to hide them.

Hi Emiel,

The checkbox getting unchecked seems like a bug. The other behavior is by design – a little strange I admit. We are changing that in the next version.

In order to hide the files, you need to either click Show None or click Show Files twice consecutively. The idea is that the first click on Show Files focuses the files sidebar.

Ah I see. The checkbox getting unchecked made me think that File/Outline/None were individual toggles. 🤦‍♂ They should thus behave like a combo box (only one selected).

Still a bug there I guess. Thanks for the quick reply.

yes, have the same pb, strange idea of the 3 show item menu (files, outline, none) and 3 differents shortcuts, can't it be a single short cut and a loop in the choice?
