This is only going to work on linux .. wmctrl doesn't exist on windows

It worked fine to me. Thanks. (Sublime 3)

Thank you, Egel!

This crap was so obnoxious. Especially if you have tons of files open and you have some scripts that are modifying the textfiles in the background. Meaning it's doing tons of counts on the incremental counter in the BG.

Made it unusable and frustrating.

Awesome, it works on my laptop running Darwin.

It's a very simple procedure:

  1. Copy the script
  2. In ST3, open "Tools --> Developer --> New Plugin ...."
  3. Paste the script in the new file created.
  4. Save changes. Put ANY name just adding ".py" extension.
    You're done.
    You can check in the console if the plugin has been loaded by ST3 using the console. For example I used "killer.py" and you can see in the console:
    reloading plugin User.killer

killer.py is incorrect when typing, but the response is correct.

>>>import sublime_plugin
>>> sublime_plugin.reload_plugin('User.killer')
console output:
reloading plugin User.killer

Has anyone gotten this to work on macOS? I've installed wmctrl using brew but I'm still getting ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

For anyone trying to make this work, it looks like this will only work on Linux machines, not windows. What this program seems to be doing is running commands to try to get Process Ids (based off the window name) to determine which window to close. Of course those commands are going to be sensitive to the operating system. If you're using Linux, you'll probably need to install wmctrl.

If you're getting the error ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '', this is probably why.

Instructions by mrParabol should work if you meet the system requirements.

There is actually a windows solution, though maybe not quite as elegant. I got rid of that pop up using auto hotkey in Windows. It's been awhile, So I don't remember the specifics so you'll have to do some research on auto hotkey to implement this but AHK is super simple and easy to pick up - you should probably be able to do this in 10 to 15 minutes with no prior knowledge. But basically you can set sections of AHK code to only run when a certain window is active, you can do that by title or EXE or both. And basically what I did is while the main sublime window was active I did a check every probably one or two seconds to see if a window with that pop ups title was active and would use a click command to automatically click the x or cancel or whatever it was. There may be a function in autohotkey that will wait for a new window to pop up, and then you can get the title of that window rather than pulling from a loop but I'm not 100% sure on that one. I know the loop way will work the other one I'm not sure if even exists. But again the auto hockey website lays everything out very well and has all of its triggers very well explained.

Works on Ubuntu 20.04 with build 3211, but only from second pop-up onward. The first one is show around the 5th save time. I can live with this.

Seems your plugin doesn't work anymore.

I suspect the reason it's not working is because you don't have the wmctrl prerequisite installed.

sudo apt install wmctrl should resolve your issues.

Confirmed NOT working on Mac OSX 10.15.7 (see edit)

  1. first you need wmctrl. I did brew install wmctrl and it installed over a HUNDRED dependencies, but it worked. If you dont have brew then just know its trivial to install, google it.
  2. follow instructions in the post by cardaba commented on Sep 15, 2017
  3. View the console to make sure it didn't throw any errors. Select sublime text -> View -> Show Console
  4. Save a document and look for errors in the console

EDIT: This is extremely flaky and does not work most of the time. Despite installing wmctrl, I still get errors regarding ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

As others said, there is a code that prevents the pop up to show, but also prevents any pop up to show (tried to delete a folder, i couldn't because it was always closing). It was the code here that closes everything and i can't do anything

Thanks egel, but at the moment it's working in Linux - maybe because of this error:

killer.py", line 17, in seek_n_close sublimePid = int(cl("""wmctrl -lp | grep "%s" | awk '{print $3}'""" % sublimeMainWindowTitle).decode()) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '741430\n741430'

Here is a working windows version: it works by closing the dialog box the moment it appears. its instant more or less, I never see the box anymore.

Windowkill.py

`import sublime_plugin
import ctypes
import time

TARGET_CLASS_NAME = "#32770"

class DialogBoxKiller(sublime_plugin.EventListener):

def close_dialog_boxes(self):
    EnumWindowsProc = ctypes.WINFUNCTYPE(ctypes.c_bool, ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_int), ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_int))
    
    def get_window_class_name(hwnd):
        buff = ctypes.create_unicode_buffer(256)  # Assuming class name won't be longer than 256 characters
        ctypes.windll.user32.GetClassNameW(hwnd, buff, len(buff))
        return buff.value
    
    def enum_windows_callback(hwnd, lparam):
        class_name = get_window_class_name(hwnd)
        if class_name == TARGET_CLASS_NAME:
            ctypes.windll.user32.SendMessageW(hwnd, 0x0010, 0, 0)  # 0x0010 is WM_CLOSE
        return True

    ctypes.windll.user32.EnumWindows(EnumWindowsProc(enum_windows_callback), 0)
    
def on_pre_save_async(self, *args):
    time.sleep(0.1)  # Brief delay to ensure dialog has time to appear if it does
    self.close_dialog_boxes()

`

FYI this also works with SFTP.
