I would like to edit my default settings in Sublime Text 3 (beta build 3059) to not ignore the Vintage package - via Preferences > Settings - Default. I am running Sublime Text on Windows 7 Pro x64.
The Vintage package's documentation says to edit and save the default settings file to enable Vintage mode:
When I click the Settings - Default menu item, the default Preferences.sublime-settings file opens with expected content; but I cannot edit it. For example, deleting or backspacing to remove "Vintage" in "ignored_packages": ["Vintage"] does nothing.
I thought maybe the default settings file was marked readonly and tried to check it: C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Default\Preferences.sublime-settings does not exist. C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Default does not exist either.
To work around this, I tried to save the default settings file that Sublime Text opened for me - to see if that would create the Default directory and Preferences.sublime-settings in it. Instead Sublime Text gave the following error:
Unable to save C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Default\Preferences.sublime-settings
Error: The system cannot find the path specified.
Has anyone encountered this issue with Sublime Text 3 (specifically in trying to enable Vintage mode or otherwise) and worked around it...or found an authoritative explanation for it?
I reason that next I could try to add the missing Default directory myself, create an empty Preferences.sublime-settings text file in it, and try again to save the default settings file that Sublime Text opened for me; but this is starting to feel kludgy.
