[SOLVED] or tripled LaTeX snippets

#1

I’m currently running ST3 without any LaTeX package activated. Yet I have doubles or sometimes even triples of a lot of LaTeX snippets. Like when I type item, then three itemize snippets show up. I have an idea for why that is. I guess that the default LaTeX package is in a zipped archive somewhere. But at some point I may have extracted it using PackageResourceViewer (in Packages/LaTeX). And also, I have tried to customize the snippets and then saved it under Packages/User/LaTeX. Does this seem correct?

It that seems correct, then the question is: where should I save save customizations of default LaTeX snippets to ensure that the originals are ignored?

You can either directly edit the snippets in the LaTeX package or delete the content of snippet, but let the file stay there to disable it and edit the snippets in the user directory.
In contrast to package control packages to extracted content of build-in packages is not overwritten with updates.

Aside from that you may only want to keep the files you have edited and delete the other ones, so that you always have the newest version of that.
