Cannot find Packages/Default directory (ST4 linux) - solved

#1

Hi,

The plugin development documentation mentions some example plugins located at Packages/Default/ (https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/api_reference.html#example-plugins)

According to the documentation for package locations, (https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/packages.html#locations) they should be in either my executable path /opt/sublime_text/Packages/ or my data path ~/.config/sublime-text/Packages/

But I can see these anywhere?

It should be located in the installation directory of Sublime Text under <executable_path>/Packages/Default.sublime-package as a zip-archive. You can (copy and rename the file to Default.zip and) extract it to see the contents.

Or withtin Sublime Text, you could use “View Package File” from the command palette and then type Default/ into the input field to directly open a specific file from that package.

Thanks for clearing that up! that worked.
I was looking for a directory rather than an archive but it makes sense now.
