[Kafkalasch]

[Senumar]

Yep, same here ☹️

[gustavohellwig]

I have the same problem. In my Mac is not working. Sometimes when I click at Tool/Color Highlighter/ Highlighter Style/ and change it, it does work, but that works only once.

[XanxusVerVR]

me to i have same problem

[mo0kid]

Also have same issue. I can only get to work if I disable and re enable highlight-all, fill. Seems that a self.redraw() is what it's taking to make it work. Context menus are greyed out.

Package Control installation on Build 3216 in Sierra 10.12.5

Check your console with control + ` and see what error colorHighlighter is throwing. I had this problem when ImageMagick wasn't installed properly, so I just had to point colorHighligher at the convert command

I have the same problem. Nothing happened when I click or move over the color text.

I have this issue. I opened up the console per coagmano's instructions and found "Unable to open /Users//Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/Color Highlighter/ColorHighlighter.sublime-settings" However, this file is actually located at "/Users//Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/Color Highlighter/ColorHighlighter.sublime-settings". That is, there is actually a folder "User" between "Packages" and "Color Highlighter". Furthermore, this file correctly opens to be edited when I choose "Sublime>Preferences>Package Settings>ColorHighlighter>Settings--Default" from the dropdown menus.

So it appears the plugin needs to be edited to load the settings file using the correct path.

@JessRiedel could you maybe try the new alpha version at #366?

[JessRiedel]

I'm a novice and haven't manually installed a Sublime package before, but I downloaded v8.0 as a zip file, unzipped it, and dragged the contents into /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages. After this, "ColorHighlighter-8.0" appeared when I select Preferences>Package Control: List Packages, but it just says "No descriptions provided. Unknown version.". Also, new greyed-out commands appeared in the right-click menu ("Insert color with color picker", "Covert color to the next format", "Convert color to the previous format"). However, nothing worked, and pulling up the console revealed these errors.

Because it seemed like the 0 was being interpretted as an extension, I renamed the name of the unzipped package folder from ColorHighlighter-8.0 to color-highlighter. After this, the right-click menu had only one new command (Insert color with color picker) and it was not greyed out. But choosing that command did nothing, and this was the error in the console.

Most likely I'm making an obvious mistake because I've never done this. I can't devote any more time to it unfortunately.

[willrowe]

I believe the directory must be called ColorHighlighter. I'm not sure if that's what causing these particular issues, but it would cause some issues if not named correctly.

[Monnoroch]

@willrowe is absolutely correct.

[JessRiedel]

Didn't help.

I am now experiencing this problem. It happened literally overnight. When I started Sublime Text 3 back up Color Highlighter stopped working. I have removed the package and installed it several times with no avail.

My console output is below.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "set_setting_command in /Users/myUsername/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Color Highlighter.sublime-package", line 125, in run File "set_setting_command in /Users/myUsername/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Color Highlighter.sublime-package", line 212, in _set_setting File "settings in /Users/myUsername/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Color Highlighter.sublime-package", line 32, in __init__ File "settings in /Users/myUsername/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Color Highlighter.sublime-package", line 96, in __init__ File "settings in /Users/myUsername/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Color Highlighter.sublime-package", line 116, in __init__ File "settings in /Users/myUsername/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Color Highlighter.sublime-package", line 132, in __init__ File "settings in /Users/myUsername/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Color Highlighter.sublime-package", line 191, in __init__ AssertionError Unable to open /Users/myUsername/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/Color Highlighter/ColorHighlighter.sublime-settings

Any help is appreciated as this is a very useful tool in my workflow.

Thank you.
