Multiple Sublime Instances For debugging

#1

This is maybe an oddball request, but I’d like to have one Sublime Instance running a stable version of the plugin I’m working on (or not running it). I’d like to switch Windows to an instance where I can test the plugin. I’d really prefer to not use another editor for my coding :smile:

Right now I’ve been doing package disable and enable when the code really breaks, but that’s of course terribly inefficient. Am I missing something really obvious?

I just have the plugin file open in a tab and do good old ctrl+s and it restarts

Hey, so yeah I do that, but I just STUMBLED on this:
docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/ … stall.html

“Portable Version”

Sweet. This totally solves my issue. I can have a stable dev sublime, even run my stable plugin. I can save to the test folder (which can hold the git repo as well) and test files / features using the other instance.
