Add SettingsUI

[mfuentesg]

• I'm the package's author and/or maintainer.
• I have read the docs.
• I have tagged a release with a semver version number.
• My package repo has a description and a README describing what it's for and how to use it.
• My package doesn't add context menu entries.
• My package doesn't add key bindings.
• Any commands are available via the command palette.
• Preferences and keybindings (if any) are listed in the menu and the command palette, and open in split view.
• If my package is a syntax it doesn't also add a color scheme. (not a syntax package)
• I use .gitattributes to exclude files from the package. (will add)

My package is a visual settings editor for Sublime Text 4. It opens a two-pane panel that lets users browse and edit Preferences.sublime-settings through typed widgets (toggles, dropdowns, color scheme / theme / font pickers) instead of editing raw JSON.

There are no packages like it in Package Control.

Sorry, I just updated PR to include only the required changes instead of many changes in s.json file :)

That's pretty ambitious. Superficially I'd expect for a graphic UI at least some kind of preview screenshot in the readme :). I tried to run it locally here (stable version 4200), and I saw a flash of something that looked like a UI and then it crashed...

[mfuentesg]

Oh is it? Sure, let me attach a screenshot :). Actually I would like to have this built in st, but for now it sounds reasonable haha.

[mfuentesg]

Hey @braver , I have added three screenshots using my self theme. Please, let me know if you have any log of issue on your st. Since I wasn't able to reproduce it :)

[braver]

Thanks, but I meant more in the README for future users of the package.

I'll have a look at trying to get it to run, or hopefully capturing a crash log 🤞🏻

Note that your package directory is not writable. Packages are delivered as a zip so they can safely be replaced when upgraded etc. If you want to write anything do so to the user's packages path. To get paths to files, or contents of files, inside your package use the API (sublime.find_resources(), sublime.load_resource() etc.).

Sublime loads any python file in a package's top level directory as a "plugin". There should not be an __init__ file in that top level directory.

More info about both topics in https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/packages.html.

Sublime doesn't seem to capture any logs before the crash. I've tried removing all my settings. And I've tried regenerating the schema. No luck so far.

[mfuentesg]

Sure, thanks for the insights. Let me take a look to the API.

Can you please chaeck again @braver any other comment is welcomed :)

Sorry, it still crashes immediately. Without a debug mode I can't help test and verify this package.
