Update from 3? to 4173 destroyed session

#1

Hi there,

I’ve found other issues regarding this (this among them), but nothing that exactly pertained to my issue.

On MacOS, updating to 4173 (after finally purchasing a license) destroyed my session file, completely overwriting even the one in the Sublime 3 folder with blank defaults. My last backup is 4 months old, which is… honestly not great.

I guess it’s too late to recover anything? According to the search, this has happened at least once before. I made full copies of my library folders. Are there any logs I can provide to prevent this from happening in the future?

What version did you update from? (the old version should still be in your trash) Sublime Text 3 (build 3211) does have some bugs that can lose the session that have since been fixed.

As for recovery we do make a backup session file when updating, but that one is also affected by the session saving bugs I mentioned.
