Can't edit preferences on the Mac

[mlaster]

I’m trying to set git_binary to point to my installation of git.

I choose Sublime Merge -> Preferences -> Preferences

I then select git_binary from the drop down list

I replace “null” with “/usr/local/bin/git”.

However there doesn’t seem to be any way to actually save the change. I hit enter, and nothing. All I can do it hit escape and that cancels the change.

Is the pref backed by a flat file somewhere I can edit manually until the UI is fixed?

@mlaster Did you try actually writing out the quotes when you entered “/usr/local/bin/git”? I suspect it is expecting a valid JSON value there so if you want to replace the value null with a string you need to quote it.

Ah, that was it. It isn’t really obvious from the UI that I need to do that.

Yes, the preferences still need some optimization.
