Update loop Sublime Merge / macOS Catalina

#1

OK this is still occurring:

Popup: update is available -> OK -> downloading -> installing -> enter mac password … repeat ad infinitum.

I’ve seen previous advice to deinstall/reinstall - if that’s the recommended solution then please could you provide details on how to do so?

OK a de/re-install fixed this.
Here’s what I did (macOS):

  1. run existing version of sublime-merge
  2. right click sublime-merge icon in the dock, then select Options -> Show in finder
  3. quit sublime-merge
  4. in the finder window, highlight sublime-merge (and any previous versions), right click and ‘Move to bin’
  5. visit download link and reinstall
