.R icons not showing up.

[jackolney]

I can't seem to get .R icons to appear in the afterglow theme (see screenshot). I am running the latest version of ST and Afterglow (v2.1.2).

I did wonder whether it is my preferences, as I was never sure how ST knew to look in the folder ./Packages/Theme - Afterglow/ but if I add that to the beginning of the theme path, then the whole interface screws up. No other version of the theme appears in my Application Support folder.

{
    "color_scheme": "Packages/Theme - Afterglow/Afterglow-monokai.tmTheme",
    "theme": "Afterglow-orange.sublime-theme"
}

Any ideas on a fix for this would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, this is disconcerting. I'm going to dig some more into this. Could you provide some more details on your set-up? It looks like you're running OS X--is it El Capitan? I'm assuming you're using Package Control, though you installed this fork of Afterglow manually.

[jackolney]

Yep, I'm on the latest version of El Cap on one of my machines and the latest public beta on another – .R icons do not show up on either. I do use package control, but you are correct, I did install this fork of Afterglow manually.

Here is the entire contents of my user preferences file if that is of any help. I just can't figure it out!

Sorry this is so annoying! I've done a couple of fresh installs (once on Windows 7 and once on OS X Yosemite), and I couldn't reproduce it. My hypothesis is it might have something to do with having previous installed Afterglow on your machine. If you'd liked to try to help me figure it out, would you mind trying the following:

• Close Sublime Text.
• Move the folder "/Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/" to a safe place, so that you can restore it later. Note you should replace $USER with your username.
• Once you've removed the folder "Sublime Text 3" from "Application Support", restart Sublime.
• Then install this fork of the Afterglow Theme manually, and activate the theme like you've done before.

I think you should see the R icon:

If you quit Sublime Text, and replace the folder "Sublime Text 3" in "Application Support" with your original one that you saved in the second step, you should go back exactly to where you were.

I totally understand if you don't want to try this out! I'll keep messing with this (though ETA might be a little while), but I just thought it might be helpful to have two of us on the case!

Firstly, thanks very much for all the help – I figured that this was a pretty popular theme so maybe it was some config error on my part.

So, I closed ST, deleted the folder in Application Support. I then reopened ST (which populated the folder again), I then cloned Afterglow into the packages folder. I get an icon next to .R files, but now it is not the right one...

Bizarre, right?

[vikjam]

Haha, my mind is blown! I think that's the icon Afterglow used to use before I changed it.

Just to be sure, did you rename the folder to Theme - Afterglow in /Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages?

[jackolney]

Haha, well perhaps this is a sign of progress, if nothing else! Yep, i used git clone https://github.com/Yabatadesign/afterglow-theme/ "Theme - Afterglow" so I was definitely calling the correct folder.

So presumably this indicates that some other junk is preventing any icons from being shown adjacent to .R files.

My only hunch is that the line "theme": "Afterglow-orange.sublime-theme", isn't describing the exact location of the theme folder. I'm guessing that this is some JSON trickery and ST knows that any folder starting with "Theme -" contains .sublime-theme files. Is that correct? But I'm also guessing that if the path was wrong, then ST would throw an error?

[vikjam]

Here's another theory. I think it's a capitalization issue! I made some changes to the repository (perhaps a bit hastily). After you pull the changes (or download the updated zip), let me know how it goes!

[jackolney]

Sucess!!

What was the fix? Just changing file_type_r to file_type_R?

Bizarre, that it was causing an issue on only my machine though? Thanks for fixing it!

[vikjam]

Nice!

I just made that small change and renamed the R icon files. I'm still need to figure out why this works, but do you mind if I close this issue out?

[jackolney]

Great -- sure, I think we're all finished here anyway.

Thanks, again.
