Portable Sublime

[jps]

I've added support for a --data command line parameter in the latest beta (20080619). To use it:
* Copy the folder C:\Program Files\Sublime Text to the USB key, or install it there.
* Copy your Application Data\Sublime Text folder to the USB key, so it resides at something along the lines of E:\Sublime Text Data (Optional, but do this if you want to keep your current settings)
* Run Sublime Text off the USB key with --data "E:\Sublime Text Data" on the command line

Let me know if you run into any issues!

That'll teach me to make changes late at night... will fix for the next beta.

This should be fine in 20080623

When I right click on a file and select "Edit with Sublime", I'd like it to use my custom Sublime Text Data folder.

Is there a way to do this?

The context menu entry is set via the registry key "HKCR\Shell\Open with Sublime Text\command", if you edit the path referenced there it should be fine.

Context menu works, thanks.

I have another problem now. When I launch sublime with the --data option, if sublime is already running, it'll create a new empty tab called "Sublime Text Data", modified and unsaved.

I still have the same problem with the latest beta: if Sublime is already running, and I launch it again with the --data option, it'll open a new file with the data folder's name.

Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

This is the command I am using with WinSCP:
"X:\PortableApps\Sublime Text\sublimetext.exe" --data "X:\PortableApps\Sublime Text Data" !.!
where !.! is substituted with the complete file path

It's an issue with sublime; command line arguments aren't yet handed properly when passed to a second instance.

This is now fixed in the current beta.
