Opening Files in Atom

Hey there, I'm forgoing Workspaces to get comfortable in Atom, but the file names mentioned in the video are not what's in the Teacher's Notes zip file. Can you add a note to teachers notes that clarifies exactly which file we should be accessing? I'm watch the Do While video, looking in the Loops folder around section 3 or 4 (since the preceding challenge was 3), but I cant find it.

I have exactly the same problem - did you manage to find a way here?

Yes! But it wasn't pretty. Basically, I pushed through by starting new files each time. But there is a plus side (besides that extra practice I guess): The files in the first two sections (lops, arrays) of JavaScript Loops, Arrays, and Objects is disorganized, true. But in Objects onward and into the following courses the files are organzied (however you do have to keep track of what video or challenge you're on bc Treehouse still isn't including that info in Teachers Notes).

Hi Cat,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Well, I guess the advantage really is that we are getting used to our text editors :)

Cheers and good luck with it all
