Brackets: Live Preview opens in new browser window, tab cannot be moved to old browser window

[Mark-Simulacrum]

Whenever I open the live preview, I expect to see the tab open in my already-running Chrome instance. Instead, I see the live preview open in a new instance. Have not found anything in the Troubleshooting section of the wiki referring to this.

This happens with no extensions installed, and when using & not using the custom server option.

@Mark-Simulacrum This is by design. Brackets needs to start Chrome with the remote debugging flag (and a few others), so it's not possible to open it in the same window as most people use for their day to day browsing. Closing.

@redmunds Could an option be added to open in the current window? I'm not sure if Brackets can check if the flags were enabled, but this option would be very helpful to me. A documentation of the flags/changes required for Chrome would be required for this too.

@Mark-Simulacrum If you really want all your tabs in 1 window, then try this: Launch Live Preview from Brackets, then open a new tab in that Chrome window to prevent Brackets from closing it. Then open whatever tabs you want in that window. I do not know if any of the Chrome flags used by Brackets expose any security vulnerabilities, so do this at your own risk.

I see. Well, I will see if that is what I want to do, I suppose I could just go with the Live Reload extension for now (which is what I was currently doing).

The first time I used LivePreview, I opened without an extension or markers alone when I do it again I get only Skype (and I have many others), if they can not show any marker, if shown the Grafting of Skype?

How I can make you hide it and not show anything?

I beginning to wonder if this is issue with mac users? I can't get it to work no matter what i do.

@Mark-Simulacrum
I'm using sublime text. Can you tell me how to enable live-reload?

[Mark-Simulacrum]

Sorry, I don't have anything in cache for this right now -- I've since switched away from using Brackets or Sublime Text, so I don't have any current knowledge to share about them.

In the latest version, I just enabled 'Enable Experimental Live Preview' and it opened in the same browser windows which I was using. It's working for me.
