Atomic save causes unwanted file attribute

#1

Hi,

I’m using boxcryptor for my cloud drive (real time encrypting). When ever I save a file within ST3 on that drive, it gets the “hidden” attribute automatically. With ST2 everything was fine.

I figured out that this is caused by the “atomic_save = true” setting, which is new in ST3. I change this flag to false, so that ST3 behaves like ST2 and solve the problem for now.

Is that an boxcryptor issue or why is the file copied with that particular attribute (when using atomic_save) ?

Thanks in advance …

From this Stack Overflow question on atomic_save, I’m guessing that it has something to do with creating the temporary files with .xxx.tmp which would be created as a hidden file I assume and that then overwrites the actual file.

Also this has been raised as an issue with Boxcryptor.

I think its more that boxcryptor should be handling it than a problem with Sublime Text
