Sublime 3 causes endless Dropbox update

#1

Hi,

I have Sublime folder synced across computers using this technique: firedevcom.tumblr.com/post/31718984123 (tumblr seems to be down at the moment of writing)

But with Sublime 3 Dropbox is constantly syncing 1 File/2 Files, as soon as I quit Sublime it stops immediately.

Here are the latest events from Dropbox:

You renamed the file 069188.log to 069190.log.	8 mins ago
You added the file MANIFEST-069189.	8 mins ago
You edited the file LOG.old.	8 mins ago
You edited the file CURRENT.	8 mins ago
You deleted the file MANIFEST-069186.	8 mins ago
You added Auto Save Session.sublime_session and 6 more files.	11 mins ago
You edited LOG.old and 35 more files.	11 mins ago
You deleted Auto Save Session.sublime_session and 3 more files.	11 mins ago
You moved 069185.log and 2 more files.	11 mins ago

Is there a way to somehow lower the log level for Sublime or just tame its file-changing behaviour?

That does not work for Sublime Text 3. You should store only Installed Packages and Packages in Dropbox, the other folders are just for the instance of Sublime Text on that machine, and will confuse other instances if they are synced.

I am syncing those two folders between three machines, Mac and Windows, and that works like a charm.
