So, the file's "Date Modified" will change. This is usually not the desired results.
Sublime Text 2.0.2,windows 8
Can you describe exactly what you are seeing and the steps you take to get there please?
thx. I just viewing the code,and won't change it.
before "View in Browser"
View in Browser
I didn't modified the code in sublime,nor ctrl-s
sublime shows the file was saved
after
Ah, ok. Yes, currently the file is saved so that it can be opened in a browser, as the browser must have some file to point to. It would be possible to save to a temporary file and view that instead, but that would have negative side-effects to the ability to view files on a local server environment (https://github.com/adampresley/sublime-view-in-browser/wiki/Viewing-on-a-Local-Server). So I'm not sure that is the correct course of action.
Well, I don't know how to make sublime plugin. I think if it can just read the file path, and view in broswer. Regardless of whether the file was saved. Actually a coder always ctrl-s. I don't know if it will affect on local server.
"Regardless of whether the file was saved" There is no way to load a file that isn't saved yet. At that point, unsaved, it will be in Sublime's buffer memory. Is your concern that the date/time stamp on the file's modified attribute is changed? If so why?
If you are simply trying to make changes to a file, not save them, and view it in the browser, you won't be able to do that with your existing file. You can, however, copy the file's contents to a new tab (buffer) and run View In Browser. That will save the contents to a temporary file and open in the browser.
Good

Yeah, sometimes I sort files by the date/time stamp, so that I can find the latest modified file. (Actually I have worried about the date/time stamp changed will affect the svn or git, but it doesn't.) And, I feel weird if the date/time stamp changed while I didn't do any modify. Am I a little bit OCD? 😔
Sorry for confused you, maybe I can't make myself understood. The auto-save is good and reasonable, but not for unmodified file, although it just change it's date/time stamp. It will be better to not deal with them.
p.s. I'm in China, maybe the other side of the earth. You may be sleeping now. The github is amazing, and I'm a newbie here. Anyway, nice to meet you 😃 .
I have pushed an update that will only save the file if it is marked as "dirty", meaning if it has modifications.
