Sublime Text 4 build 4189 for macOS - files do not open in the editor

#1

Hi!

Since build 4186 I see following issue - any file that is associated with SublimeText cannot be opened from Finder. If I double-click on a .txt file (associated with SublimeText):

focus changes to SublimeText window and nothing happens. If I right-click (Cmd+Click) on the file in Finder and choose ‘Open with SublimeText’ - same issue. There are two working ways to open files in SublimeText right now:

  1. File -> Open in SublimeText
  2. Drag and drop file from Finder’s window to SublimeText’s window

Before build 4186 it was perfectly working.

Does it work after downgrading to 4180? I can’t reproduce this issue on my end.

Yes, absolutely, as soon as I downgrade to build 4180 it starts working fine as before without any changes in configuration.

The Sublime Text 4 was installed from Homebrew, after the upgrade it started to produce this issue, so I manually downgraded using the sublime_text_build_4180_mac.zip to confirm build 4180 works. Then I decided to upgrade back to 4189 using ‘brew reinstall sublime-text’ and automagically the error has gone even on 4189… No idea what is going on here, but it maybe was some hiccup related to Homebrew.

Anyhow, the issue is solved.

There is no official brew tap for Sublime Text, so this was most likely an issue with the third party installation method.
