I managed to get sublime text 3 working as my external code editor on a Mac.
However, it doesn't work on linux.

I have in my houdini.env file:

EDITOR = ‘/viz/home/jeroen/sublime_text_3/sublime_text’

When I press the “edit text with an external editor” button, it launches sublime text 3, but the temp file it loads is empty.

Any ideas?

Linux: CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
Houdini version: 16.5.473

thanks

Hey, there,

Did you manage to solve this? I have the same problem.

I got it working, it was an easy fix.

Just pass the “-w” flag as such:

VISUAL = “/usr/bin/subl -w”
