jhorikawa Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Hello all, I have a question regarding to how I can use Sublime Text as an external scripting editor for VEX / Python on macOS. I have tried editing houdini.env as follows but Sublime didn't open when I clicked the button "External Editor" on scripting window. EDITOR = "/Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/Sublime\ Text" I suspected it's because of the space in directory's name but if I change the name of the application then it screws up the Sublime Text app itself so I cannot do that. I've also tried following but nothing worked. EDITOR = "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/Sublime Text" The reason why I think it is due to the spacing on directory's name is because when I tried to set the external editor to Atom which has no space on any directory to it's bin file, it launched ok when I pressed External Editor button on scripting window in Houdini. EDITOR = "/Applications/Atom.app/Contents/MacOS/Atom" But I would really like to use Sublime Text for editing the script instead of Atom, so my question is... how can I escape the space for the file path on houdini.env on macOS? I'm using Houdini Indie 17.0.352 macOS Mojave 10.14.1 Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durzisitro Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hi buddy, I tired with the loophole codes, it worked for a while before crashing on the line at breaks. Regards, Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
