Added new dictionary, ST3 no longer opens

#1

Hello,

I tried to add a Spanish dictionary by placing a file “spanish.dic” intoPackages > User. I then went to View > Dictionary and selected the new dictionary and ST3 closed. Now when I try to open the app it immediately closes again. I have tried removing the Spanish.dic file and then opening the app without any luck. I reinstalled ST3 and still no luck. I cannot currently open the app. Any ideas? I’m on Mac OS 10.12.1 and have the newest version of ST3 installed. Thanks.

I wasn’t able to replicate, but supposedly there is a related issue:

you can try the steps at https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/revert.html to get your ST working again

The dictionary setting is stored in your session file. Inside of your data folder will be Local/Session.sublime-session. This file is JSON. You can either delete it (and lose opened file, temp buffers, etc) or try to edit it and remove the dictionary setting.

The first section of the page http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/revert.html discusses the data folder location. You should not need to revert to fix this, I just wanted to reference the location on that page.

So, if you delete your current dictionary file (the .dic file), and close Sublime Text and try to open it?
Here it does not open and crash for ever and ever, until you undelete it

I just did it again. I am on with Windows 10.
This is the dump file, Sublime Text just did when I reproduced the Issue some seconds ago: (posted it on the issue thread)

Cannot launch Sublime Text Mac OS X El Capitan

works fine for me. Turns out you need to add a custom word as well to replicate it:

"added_words":
    [
        "test"
    ],
"dictionary": "noexist"
