Creating a New Project in MavensMate

How to select metadata types

MavensMate and Sublime Text are a great combination for developing in Salesforce and moving config between orgs. For installation instructions there's a great resource here:
https://www.xgeek.net/salesforce/sublime-text-3-mavensmate-for-salesforce-development/

However, I sometimes end up in a bit of a loop when trying to create a new project and select the metadata types that I want. So, for future reference, for me and others, here are the steps to create a project in MavensMate and select your metadata types:

  1. From the Hopme tab click on the Menu and 'New Project'. Fill in the blanks and remember to add Security Token to Password
  2. Close MM. Start MM. Open above Project
  3. Menu - Project - Edit Project
  4. Advanced Tab - Select Metadata Types to index. Click 'Update Subscription' then 'Refresh Index' and 'Update Project' at top right.
  5. Click 'Refresh' on the 'Project Metadata' tab
  6. Tick the boxes and click 'Update Project'
