[2107] Preferences being deleted when changing colour scheme

#1

Title says it all really but I shall elaborate…

// While you can edit this file, it's generally best to put your changes in // "User/Base File.sublime-settings", which overrides the settings in here.
As instructed above, I have been putting my specific settings into the Base File settings within the User folder. But I have noticed that these settings are not being saved when upgrading (the app) or when I change the syntax colour scheme. For example, mine went from this:

[code]{
“color_scheme”: “Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Made of Code Zander.tmTheme”,
“font_face”: “”,
“font_size”: 15,
“spell_check”: true,
“draw_minimap_border”: true,
“highlight_line”: true,
“match_brackets_angle”: true,

"draw_white_space": "all",
"draw_indent_guides": true,
"trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true,
"save_on_focus_lost": true,
"default_line_ending": "system"

}
[/code]
to this:

{ "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Django (Smoothy).tmTheme" }

Is there something I can do to prevent it this from happening again?

Your post mentions two separate issues:

  • User settings being erased when changing color scheme.
  • User settings being erased when upgrading.

For the record, I’ve never seen either of these happen - I don’t think I’ve had any other reports of them either. Do you have any funny business going on within your Packages directory, such as symlinking them to Dropbox or something similar?
