OS-centric Project Manager files?

Short and descriptive example bug report title

Summary

I use Sublime Text 3 heavily both on my personal and work projects. I have the settings synced via Dropbox because I do the same kind of work in both projects.

Anyway, something cool that popped up would be to have OS-centric project mananager files like the keybinders that have (OSX) and (Windows) in their files. I say this because obviously, Windows 10 and unix-like systems have different file structure. So when I bring up projects on my Mac, I get the Windows projects and vice-versa which is not fun.

Environment

ProjectManager:

    version: 0.7.2
    installed via Package Control: True

Sublime Text:

    channel: stable
    version: 3126
    platform: windows
    portable: yes
    architecture: x64

May be you can try using the use_local_projects_dir option?

Hi @randy3k ,

I just tried that. It did not work. Nothing, to my knowledge, changed.

You may need to classify the projects into the different Projects Folders. There should be two folders,
Projects - {YOUR WINDOWS MACHINE NAME} and Projects - {YOUR LINUX MACHINE NAME}.

I can confirm that seemed to have work. I must have missed those folders the first time.

I can now view projects filtered by their OS (computer name, really).

There is another (manual but more flexible) solution if you are using the just released version 0.7.11.

First, classify the Windows/Linux projects into different folders. Then tell dropbox how the folders should be synced. (i.e., do not create and sync Project - Windows to Linux and vice versa).

Then specify both folders in the setting projects_path. If the Project - Windows doesn't exist on Linux, Project Manager will ignore the path to the Project - Windows on Linux. On the other hand, ignore Project - Linux on Windows respectively.
