On Mac, Sublime always a new instance (when opening via Joplin)

#1

I’m not sure if I should post this here or to the Joplin forum, but I’m starting here first.

Whenever I open a markdown file Sublime via Joplin on Mac, Sublime opens the file in a new window. What’s weirder is that I think that these windows are separate instances. When I try to drag one of the tabs from the new window onto an older tab, nothing happens. Also, they each have their own separate icon in the dock.

I have the “always open in a new window” setting set to false (I’ve also tried setting it to “always,” as well as “never”), and that doesn’t help.

What issue could this be? Is there a command line argument which Joplin should pass when opening a markdown file in Sublime?

I’m guessing Joplin is running the main executable (sublime_text) instead of the command line tool (subl).

Yes. I switch to subl (and it fixed the tab issue), but now I’m getting a memory leak issue. Sublime is using up to 1000 mb of RAM.

That sounds unrelated. Can you be more specific as to how you trigger this memory leak? Does it happen if you launch Sublime Text outside of Joplin?
