First, thank you for adding the ability to automatically create the plugin or theme folder from the WordPress menu. This was a huge help!

Of course, I’m never satisfied, and I always want more 🙂

I’d love for Pinegrow Web Editor (Desktop) to be able to package and save the projects, themes, or plugins we are working on like the WordPress plugin does. It’ll save us a bit of digging around and could also help eliminate the issues with extra files that macOS users get when creating plugin/theme zip files from the UI rather than the command line.

I’ve always thought this is an odd omission from the desktop version.

They’ve always stayed away from managing files, and I can appreciate that. The recent issues with hidden macOS files in WordPress plugin/theme files could potentially trip people up, which is what made me think of it.

Well, that and I’m lazy so I’d rather not dig through my files if I don’t have to.
