Sublime Text 2 is a text editor for OS X, Linux and Windows, currently in beta.

OSX Window should stay open even if no tabs.
Also on Linux it displays the path of the file on the top, in osx this is not so, would be nice to see it as well.

Transient view
1. Sometimes the transient view width is too small to see the content (eg. Package control - you cannot see the full description) - can we increase the width and maybe expand the row height to show all content?
2. With some plugins (eg. SFTP), the synct operation takes some time, and needs a confirm (Yes/No) in the end (in a transient view) - the problem is that if you switch away from sublime's window you loose the transient view and have to start all over again - can the transient view stay on screen when sublime's window looses focus?

Please make it possible to download stable versions *from* dev builds to stable
It should be that you can optionally download "dev" builds, but if a stable build is released afterwards, the update should go fetch that until there's a new "dev" build available.
There doesn't seem to be any way for me to get 2060, so I'm stuck with the old dev build until there's a new dev build.
That's silly.

Westward Group Abrasive Tools sale in Paris: Amateur Telescope making
For grinding my 6" mirror, I used aTile on Plaster Tool. instead of the second 6" glass that I got with my grinding kit.
Using that kind of tool offers several advantages, despite the little effort in making the tool. Since I never ground a mirror on a glass tool myself, I will give a short summary of what people say, who tried both:
Advantages:
• You can save your second blank to make another mirror.
• The channels in the tool minimize the danger of seizing.
• You can grind faster and more efficiently by using less abrasives.
• For big mirrors, the weight of the tool can be reduced.
• Even distribution of the abrasive across the tool.
• No trapped air-bubbles.
Disadvantages:
• You have to make the tool yourself, which might be bit of an effort the first time.
• Cleaning the tool is more difficult.
• Unbeveled tile edges are a potential danger for scratching the mirror.
• Plaster or cement particles coming off the tool can cause scratches.
BUT!
Most of the disatvantages can be eliminated by taking precautions, while the advantages are tremendous!
Required material:
• Dental plaster; or plaster of paris; or any kind of cement preferably without sand and as fine as possible. Dental plaster cures very fast, which makes it the best choice.
• Slow (2-4 hours applying time) curing epoxy glue. I made good experiences with white Porcelain epoxy. Of course it should be waterproof.
• Porcelain tiles cut in small squares (~2,5 cm) . Porcelain is best, because it is very hard. If you can only find big tiles, then cut them yourself with a tile cutter.
• Masking tape and aluminium foil.
• Carbo grinding stone. The kind that you use to sharpen carpentry tools. (Buy a cheap one!)
Required Skills:
• NONE!
Procedure:
First you cover the mirror face with thin plastic kitchen foil and create a mould by wrapping aluminium foil and masking tape around the blank. The side which later on will become the mirror face looks up. Take care that there are no air bubbles between the plastic foil and the mirror.
To avoid that the plaster leaks out while pouring, you should put masking tape around the plastic foil-covered blank before attaching the aluminum-foil. On the upper side of the glass, let the tape overlap 1 cm and fold it down, so you get a sticking outer rim. On this rim you can easily attach the aluminum foil strip. To get a firm foil strip of the required mould broadness (min. 1 1/2 blank thickness), you can fold a length of foil until it matches the size.

Built In FTP
It would be great if sublime had built in FTP. That's the only thing keeping me from moving from dreamweaver Sometimes it's not possible to work locally or once you are done working locally you need to publish the file and it would be much easier if it was possible to do that directly from sublime.

default file name for "save as"
the default file name for an existing file when you press "save as" should be the current file name, not the first line of the file.
also, i cannot replicate, but in one file when i press save us, the default name is: "#---"
maybe if you look in your source code of your program, you can find that.
i am running
v2.0.1 build 2217

Events on_new and on_deactivated in wrong order when creating a new file
1. on_new for the new buffer
2. on_deactivated for the old buffer
3. on_activated for the new buffer
I think that it should fire them in this order:
1. on_deactivated for the old buffer
2. on_new for the new buffer
3. on_activated for the new buffer
As far as I can guess, the on_new event is being triggered from a routine which then modifies the buffers and tabs. So my question is: Can/will you change/fix this order (soon)?

.sublime-project file should override package and user settings
I'm using PHP_CodeSniffer and I would like to use different standards for different projects and I noticed it's not possible to set "phpcs_additional_args" because of the config file processing order.
It would be very helpful if the project settings can override everything: package settings, package user settings as well.
