osx - How to restore Sublime Text settings and preferences and undo the symlink created in Dropbox? -


how can restore sublime text settings , preferences , undo symlink created in dropbox? cannot access sublime text 2 preferences on machine after creating symlink in dropbox.

these commands ran on primary machine:

cd ~/dropbox ln -s ~/'library/application support/sublime text 2' sublime-text-2-settings 

these created "sublime-text-2-settings" in dropbox root directory.

then on second machine, ran following commands:

cd ~/library/application\ support/sublime\ text\2/ rm -r packages ln -s ~/dropbox/sublime-text-2-settings packages 

this from: https://github.com/rowno/rolandwarmerdam.co.nz/blob/master/app/_posts/2013-01-09-sync-sublime-text-2-settings.md

now, sublime text 2 on both machines being rendered in total black , white color scheme, black sidebar too, it's impossible view files. also, cannot access preferences on either machine making impossible move forward.

  • how can undo symlink?
  • how can access preferences on primary machine?

i spent hours customizing preferences , adding packages , hate loose all.

resolved (by brute force).

  1. unlink symbolic link (unlink /path/to/sym/link) (on both machines)
  2. copy + paste - packages folder in ~/'library/application support/sublime text 2' sublime-text-2-settings on primary machine.
  3. reinstall sublime text on secondary machine.
  4. restart sublime on both machines.

aaand, in action!

though #3 , #4 didn't have in particular order. seems main problem packages folder got moved on primary machine , replaced symbolic link on second machine. symbolic link missing packages folder since had moved on primary machine before symbolic link created.
