Set custom location for "User" directory

[firefusion]

I'd like to be able to set a custom location for the "User" directory that sits in AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text\Packages\User so that i can sync my themes, snippets and prefs with other computers via DropBox.

You can use the --data command line option. You'll need to add it to every shortcut you use.

You can also add it to the "Open with Sublime Text" context menu with this .reg:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text\command]
@="X:\\PortableApps\\Sublime Text\\sublimetext.exe --data \"X:\\PortableApps\\Sublime Text Data\" \"%1\""


Of course, you'll need to change the paths.

I use it with dropbox, it works well, the only file that sometimes has conflicts is Auto Save Session.sublime-session
