SublimeText 3: Where are the packages

#1

Hi everybody,
I just installed SublimeText 3 and added my license. I need to find (out of curiosity) the packages directory. I searched online and found a couple answers, so I looked in the following directories:

  • /Users/aziz/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/* : Nothing there, except in the Cache folder which contains .cache files
  • /Library/Application Support/ : No Sublime Text 3 folder there…
  • /Applications/Sublime Text.app/* : Nothing there…

So where are the packages?

Try going to “Preferences -> Browse Packages”. I don’t know the OS X path off the top of my head though so I can’t give you that. Hopefully that helps.

I asked the same thing to myself today, I’m on windows and the folder is empty, I Wanted to disable the packages by deleting the folders of the languages I don’t use. Also I have some personal hacks into core default/* folder, but is empty now.

This is a change in ST3. Packages are run directly from .sublime-package files rather than needing to be extracted. You should be able to override any particular file by creating that folder with a file named the same. For example, if you want to override “Default/Default (OSX).sublime-keymap”, you would simply create that file in the packages directory. I personally think this is acceptable, and sometimes better. This will prevent users from “accidentally” modifying some default package (or installed package). I wrote the the PackageResourceViewer plugin to help view/edit the “sublime-package” files.

Could you explain the process of updating a file in a package?
For instance, how could one edit the math_config.js which is in /js folder in MarkDown Preview package?
Assume I don’t have your amazing package PackageResourceViewer (Really amazing!).

You would create the same path structure in the Packages directory. This is really all the plugin does. It just auto opens from the zip file, and knows when where to save the file if changes are made.

Great work there skuroda. your plugin was really really helpful.
i spent a whole day trying to figure out how to get my code inside of the paperscript tag to also have javascript highlighting. it was all white.
the solutions i came accross mostly said i had to access the HTML.sublime-package directory, unzip it, add paperscript to a line of code then zip it back up. i couldn’t access the HTML package directory with several programs i tried, until i found your package.
i installed it through the package control, accessed the HTML.sublime-syntax file with the command packageResourceViewer: Open Resourse
then added text/papersript to the code;

 javascript_mime_type: |-
    (?ix)(?:
      # https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/#javascript-mime-type
      (?:application|text)/(?:x-)?(?:java|ecma)script
      | text/javascript1\.[0-5]
      | text/jscript
      | text/livescript
      | text/paperscript

i saved it. i got my paperscript colored. ST3 windows
