@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe Is it currently cleaner to use the "details" tag to collapse?

@maboloshi it looks much cleaner. While you're at it, you should also merge the "Thanks to ..." sections.

However, my browser can't search inside collapsed sections, so I have to expand them before I can search for a hash or some hex bytes.

🤣 OK I'll add indexing and expansion later

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe I modified it a bit. How about now?

@maboloshi I would prefer the ToC to be more compact, something like this:

	Sublime Text	Sublime Merge
Stable channel	win linux mac	win linux mac
Dev channel	win linux mac	win linux mac

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe OK, No problem. 😎

Rather than mentionning xxd is in Git for Windows and mess up with environment variables, this works too and is cleaner in my opinion

• Get MSYS2
• Replace find /i with find -iname

Works without much changes, xxd is already part of MSYS2 default packages

Nobody uses Git for Windows when it comes to bash executions except noobs, MSYS2 is much up to dates for this.

 pacman -F xxd
msys/bash-completion 2.11-2 [installed]
    usr/share/bash-completion/completions/xxd

For Git for Windows users: why I need MSYS2?
For MSYS2 users: why I need Git for Windows? You noobs?
For geek users: why I need any of above while OP has provided a single xxd.exe?

PS：xxd.exe extracted from git for windows

Because he seems to suggest

• Open CMD.exe (because find /i) is Windows
• Make the necessary actions so that typing xxd in CMD.exe works (which is not the case by defaut, xxd has to be in a a path set by the env variable PATH, that is dirty to do)

Thus why suggesting to

• Use bash of Windows Git ( find /i) won't work unless you change it to find -iname
• Use bash of MSYS2 ( find /i) won't work too unless you change it to find -iname

Not sure why he changed the Windows procedure, before you just had to load a CMD.exe, exec the script, job done

You just need to download xxd.exe and put it in the same directory as sublime_text.exe or sublime_merge.exe or in the system folder C:\Windows\.

The bash scripts for Mac fail as written, because md5 prints a string that includes the filename. Quiet mode only prints the checksum so the command should be md5 -q.

Back in the history, once did exist -q. 🤣

Sweet! Now SM 2069 has the same result from license check function as ST. It's a good time to merge the patterns for SM and ST. I hope they won't change to 281 again (like they did before).

It's strange. It came back to 281 again in SM 2072. I wonder if it's a mistake that has happened too many times.

Now they reverted to 0 (instead of 281) in SM 2073. Let's see how long this ping pong game lasts.

281 for 2074 btw.

@n6333373 yup, 281 is back for another round of applause. @maboloshi it feels strange to have the patch before SM 2074 showing up in the official download page.

SM 2075 switch from 281 to 0 again. Just like a swinging pendulum 😅

yes, I implements a pendulum

yes, I implements a pendulum

@n6333373 wow, I've just realize that SM 2070 uses neither 0 nor 281. Is this the first version that uses 1? What a mess!

does anyone have the address to patch for Both ST/SM running on Linux M1 ?

@MarcoHarris you can use this for ST 4126 https://gist.github.com/JerryLokjianming/71dac05f27f8c96ad1c8941b88030451?permalink_comment_id=4202408#gistcomment-4202408
No need to patch anything!
For SM, you can buy a patch at a cheap price (less than $100).

SM macOS 2074 (M1 ARM64) doesn't work. It writes that app is corrupted. I patched app with Hex Fiend and re-signed it.

Thanks! The patch for Sublime Text 2077 is working. I tested it on Arch Linux.

Thanks! 🙏

@tukusejssirs On my Arch it shows that the checksum is wrong. Which way did you use. Please give me a hint.

sublime-merge 2077-1

@Lyahi, I installed SM the official way. Make sure you installed build 2077 (either using smerge --version command or Help → About Sublime Merge).

Then I simply followed the instructions. I ran commands one by one just make sure everything executes successfully.

You might have forgotten to cd /opt/sublime_merge. Another option would be to use absolute paths (in all command but cd replace sublime_merge with /opt/sublime_merge/sublime_merge.

Also, you need to have xxd installed. All those xdd commands needs to be run as root, as /opt/sublime_merge/sublime_merge are usually owned by root.

---

@maboloshi, I suggest to change your BASH code to something like this. Although your code works, I still think making a backup wouldn’t hurt and running xxd requires sudo, as files under /opt are owned by root by default.

Actually, @maboloshi, I don’t think we need to check if /opt/sublime_merge folder exists, but if $file exists, as the script does not really care about the folder itself nor other files under that folder. I changed that in my suggested code above.

Actually, md5sum already checks if the file exists, therefore checking for file existence is not needed at all. Removing that condition from my suggested code above.

Also I think that mentioning that one needs a dummy licence is a good thing. You might want to add that to Note[s] as the fifth point. It seems to be required by both ST and SM. I added a dummy licence in the suggested code above.

@tukusejssirs Does the status remain unregistered after patching the file? In my case it does and I don't know if this is correct.

@Lyahi, in Help → About Sublime Merge, it says Registered to Unlimited User License. Also in Help, there is an option to Remove License. Therefore my patched SM binary is ‘licensed’. 🤷‍♂️

How did you install install your SM? Did you follow the instructions carefully? What is the checksum of your file (md5sum /opt/sublime_merge/sublime_merge)?

@tukusejssirs I am installing from SM.

@Lyahi, you have exactly same package installed as I have. Both checksums match mine.

Aargh! 🤦‍♂️ I have installed a dummy licence previously, therefore my patched SM worked as expected. The licence can be anything, you can replace anything in the string below except for ----- BEGIN LICENSE ----- and ----- END LICENSE ----- (and I think also newlines are required). You could also use @rufoa’s dummy licence.

Note that you need to restart SM after adding licence unless you enter the licence via UI or SM is not running when you add the licence.

Even @maboloshi states that [t]he license can be any string, although only in MS Windows instructions for ST 4126 and ST 4134

@tukusejssirs My English is very poor and I probably didn't understand something.
Thanks for your help. After entering the license correct license.

Best.

SM 2075 switch from 281 to 0 again. Just like a swinging pendulum 😅

SM from 2075 to 2077 use 0. Does this pendulum hit a brick wall?

@tukusejssirs You don't need a dummy license. You can type anything (or nothing) into the license input box. It doesn't matter.
