I’m moving laptops (a clean setup rather than transferring) and would like to export my ST4 configuration so that I can import it to the new device. Is there an easy way to do this?
I can see forum posts about earlier versions of ST but wasn’t sure if the same advice was relevant.
Thanks!
As a lazy way without explanation, you can run
from pathlib import Path; Path(sublime.packages_path()).parent
in ST console. And copy the directory it shows to the corresponding path on your new machine.
Which only works in case the target machine uses same OS and same architecture, in case dependencies are involved. Otherwise it may easily happen a compiled library to not work on the new PC.
Wouldn’t PC takes care of that? Or it only checks whether a dependency’s directory exists?
Thankfully, same OS and architecture, so it appears to have worked.
Thanks for the help!
Various error messages in the code indicate it might have problems doing so. One of them explicitly points to https://packagecontrol.io/docs/syncing.
Ideally it would reinstall incompatible packages or dependencies automatically however.
