What version of ST are you using?
Which syntaxes are involved?
What I’d try to do in this situation is:
delete %APPDATA%\Sublime Text\Cache folder.
It’s safe to be deleted, will be re-created.
rename/delete %APPDATA%\Sublime Text\Index
Maybe a currupted index db file causing trouble.
@deathaxe the version I use is build 4126.
Syntaxes - mainly C plus a few perl and bash scripts. There is also a Tools folder that contain some C# code.
I did what you said, renamed both Cache & Index folders and sarted Sublime again. It created new folders and now the situation is as shown below:
Unfortunately the behavior is exactly the same as before:
I’m not asking for the index status to check if it’s idle, I’m looking for the full status including how many symbols and files were indexed.
“Index “project_name” is using 20070198 bytes for 287271 symbols across 827325 locations”
This is what Indexing status tells me for this project.
Could you be experiencing this issue perhaps: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/5294?
@bschaaf, the short answer is no. At least I am not aware of it. I have only loaded project directory + opened few single files from other locations i.e some notes.
However, I have sublime configured in two columns layout and in both I have plenty of files opened. Now I closed all of them and guess what - RAM usage dropped to ~400 Mb. Next I closed and reopen Sublime - RAM usage ~ 200 Mb.
So looks like that was the problem.
Sounds like you just had a ton of files open then. Unsurprisingly that takes a lot of memory to do. Fwiw 800k files with a 200MB index is fairly large.
800k files? The whole directory only has:
$ find . | wc -l
22641 files. And this includes .git own files.
What is that 200Mb index? That is index file for the whole project?
Thank you.
Sorry it’s locations not files. Yes ST indexes the folders you open to provide goto-definition/goto-symbol and auto-complete.
