what packages do you have installed? what’s the output from Help -> Indexing Status?

I don’t think index_exclude_patterns can be set on a project basis:

also slightly related:

you can enter sublime.log_indexing(True) Enter in the ST Console (View menu -> Show Console), but it’s possible that it doesn’t have any affect atm:

I’m on build 3156, the latest one at this point in time on macOS 10.12.6.

Get into this issue as well after I put a 3MB .php dictionary file in my project…

Since I passed to 3.2 the indexing steps always on my feet.
Even when it’s completed, Sublime will start to reindex everything when closed and reopened (happened on the same project a couple of times in the last days; but last try didn’t start to reindex).
But note that my projects are reached via NFS, so that might contribute to the problem.

I am also having random crashes, quite often, since the 3.2.
While I can count with two hands how many times SublimeText crashed in the last 5 years, with versions < 3.2. :slightly_frowning_face:
It might be as well related to NFS volumes; something changed there.
Very often I try to unmount those volumes but macOS will give me an error telling me that files are currently used by Sublime; while in the last years there was no problem and Sublime <3.2 was just marking the file as unsaved.
