Prompt if need elevated permission to save on Windows (and Linux if that also doesn't work)
This has already been added for OS X, but not for Windows (at least Windows 7 x64) and possibly not for Linux.
ST should automatically ask for admin password, if not already running as admin, when saving to a folder that requires admin privileges.
Created this new topic as other ones are already marked as completed.
Here is link to previous completed suggestion: 27820-prompt-if-need-elevated-permission-to-save

I can confirm that this does not work in linux.
I want to point out, as in the original topic, that if the file does not exist, but the write permissions of the directory require root (or admin for windows I suppose) that it just gives an error instead of elevating privileges to write to the directory.
and if the file doesn't already exist, it displays a dialog saying that you don't have permission to save in this location, with the option to save in My Documents folder instead...
This basic issue is a year old. It has been fixed for Mac and marked as completed (Apple is all that counts?). This has got to be a joke. I paid 60$ for a text editor that is not taken care of at all. Last update has been half a year ago and I keep running into basic issues. Really......
Support for Linux would be awesome!
+1 for Windows support please.
This would be awesome, still stuck with "sudo vim" for stuff I want to edit with superuser permissions.
Linux++
+1 for windows
As a workaround on Linux, you can try something like this:
What I do, and is really not comfortable, is: change files/folders permissions to me, edit/save, return them to apache. Maybe my situation could be improved, hw, it was the only solution I was able to do.... (just working with linux for a month :-/)
Just created a plugin solving this problem on windows and linux https://github.com/azubr/Superlime
it does solve the problem!
Good job! lol
Many Thanks for the plugin azubr. I think is not the best solution but It works three years later. Great work.
Thanks for the plugin azubr, works great.
