ST3: Crawldb not available

#1

upon opening two Sublime Text3 Windows with different projects, the second one always gets an error
“indexing: crawldb not available, indexing abandoned”
Is there any way to open and index two different projects in different windows at the same time?

Are you passing --multiinstance on the command line? If so, don’t do that.

i wasnt, but the problem is still the same, i am using two Launcher using the portable version on Linux

sublime_text --multiinstance --project ‘[Path1]/H0.sublime-project’

sublime_text --multiinstance --project ‘[Path2]/H9.sublime-project’

still only one can access the crawldb

When you say ‘portable version on linux’, what do you mean, exactly? There is no portable version for linux on the download page.

Don’t pass --multiinstance on the command line.

You must have only one instance of Sublime Text running. To work with multiple projects, just use multiple windows.

Ah ok is there anyway to open a second project through an existing instance by using a shortcut.
That would be really helpful

If sublime_text is already running, then running sublime_text foo.txt from a terminal should pass foo.txt off to the already existing instance. If this doesn’t occur, then there may be a dbus related error (if this is the case, try passing --debug on the command line)
