A plugin of SublimeText 3 : Let the FOLDER of a new untitled file be as same as the folder of current activated file.

NewFile.py

# NewFileAtCurrentFolder

import sublime_plugin
import os.path

class NewFileListener(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
    def on_new_async(self, view):
        if not view.window().active_view():
            print("NF: no view")
            return

        newView = view.window().active_view()
        index = view.window().views().index(newView)
        lastView = view.window().views()[index - 1]
        if not lastView:
            print("NF: no lastView")
            return

        fileName = lastView.file_name()
        if not fileName:
            print("NF: no fileName")
            return

        basePath = os.path.dirname(fileName)
        if not basePath:
            print("NF: no basePath")
            return
        print("NF: "+basePath)
        newView.settings().set('default_dir', basePath)

Thank you!

This is what I need. Thank you. :)

Not sure why they changed it. This is much better, thank you!

In case anybody is wondering where to save this file.
Just drop the NewFile.py file into your Packages/User folder within your Sublime folder.

For Sublime 3 this is my location (where <your_name> is, your name):
/Users/<your_name>/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User

Very helpful - thank you!

Thanks for this.

@RonanC Thanks!
