st3 switches to default theme upon launch

[montchr]

Every time I launch ST3 after a day or so, it loads Default.sublime-theme instead of the one I've previously selected in Themr.

Hm, that's kind of odd. I'll need more info before I can debug this issue.

What version of Sublime Text are you using?
What operating system are you on?
Are you using an up to date Themr?
Which theme are you selecting?
Does it happen only after launching Sublime or also if you leave it open?

[montchr]

What version of Sublime Text are you using?

Stable Channel, Build 3065

What operating system are you on?

Mac OS X 10.10.1

Are you using an up to date Themr?

I installed via Package Control a few weeks ago, so it should be up to date. v2014.12.01.00.16.19

Which theme are you selecting?

Spacegray – Light and sometimes regular Spacegray.

Does it happen only after launching Sublime or also if you leave it open?

Only when launching. It's been open today since I opened this issue and I haven't seen a problem.

[benweier]

That's even more odd. I've been using the exact same set up for a while with no problems. This is likely to be from the changed settings event so short term solution I'll add an option to let you disable it.

I have a feeling it has something to do with a plugin that reloads the Preferences file periodically, but I'm not sure which plugin is doing this.

If it helps, my console log is below. The most relevant stuff is at the bottom.

I've noticed this happening after the theme that I'm using is updated. Not sure if this is an issue with ST itself, Package Control or Themr.

[benweier]

@montchr I can't nail down where the issue is occurring. Your plugin list doesn't appear to be loading anything particularly odd, although I've tested Themr against the plugins I haven't used before - Auto Wrap, Markdown, Modific, Wrap Plus, a couple others.

I did notice that Spacegray is among your list of plugins that were updated and this also answers @kelchm comment. Themr includes a feature that resets the theme setting to default when it detects that the theme is invalid - either through a bad filename or if the theme is disabled. This feature runs at launch and when the settings file is changed.

Your issue reports that this happens every time you launch Sublime so I was working with the assumption that it may be another plugin altering the theme setting for some reason and Themr is detecting that and resetting the theme. If it's only happening when your theme is being updated then Themr is working as intended but I will add an option to disable this feature.

[benweier]

You may now add "themr_watch_settings": false to your preferences to disable the theme reset function.
