[quote=“qgates”]Kaniken’s post suggests that the problem is connected to Defender and/or the AV program in use. ST’s indexer scans all the project files to build its database for symbol lookup so that you can jump to func definition etc… It seems to work on several threads to achieve its ends quickly and works with most languages. Perhaps a good workaround is to configure the AV/Defender to skip any files requested for opening by sublime.exe. How you do this will depend on your AV, and I’m not sure with Defender; I use neither.
It may be that either or Defender 8.1 is blocking sublime more vicously than Defender 7 or [/quote]
I just found that indexing also doesn’t work with my online back up program. Basically ST3 is useless for me right now It’s not like i am going to turn off AV and backup to edit files.
My theory is that ST3 goes haywire if external processes briefly need to lock files.
I downloaded 2.0.2 and it works fine, but I suppose ST2 doesn’t do indexing at all?
