Sublime Text 4151 - can't open old projects

[recantha]

I did the auto-upgrade to 4151 and now when I go to the Project menu, despite the projects being listed, clicking to open one does nothing. Any ideas? Is there a cache or something I need to clear, or is it “just broken”?

What OS/version are you using? Sounds similar to Sublime Text 4151 upgrade breaks the app on macOs 10.13.6?

[recantha]

Sorry, yes, that would be helpful wouldn’t it. Windows 11, up-to-date.

[bschaaf]

Do you see any errors in the console (View > Show Console)?

[recantha]

Let’s see…

“Ignoring invalid workspace filepath.sublime-workspace”

[bschaaf]

That means the workspace either reading the workspace file failed or its invalid JSON.

It was definitely working before the upgrade. I guess I could downgrade…

[recantha]

Downgraded to 4143, still happening. This is unhelpful. All my snippets have stopped working, too.

[recantha]

Ahhh… Looks like all the project files have actually been deleted. Because they were stored in the Program Files folder of Sublime Text. I guess the upgrade deleted everything and started again? Just a guess though.

[bschaaf]

Program files is not a place to store personal files. When updating ST deleted everything in that folder to replace it with the new version.

Oh, fair enough. I was thinking it was just an easy place to keep and backup from. I have learned my lesson! Thanks for explaining.
