Questions and answers

  • What is the purpose of the ".SUBLIME-SNIPPET backup" file?

    The ".SUBLIME-SNIPPET backup" file is a backup file created by the Sublime Text editor. It is generated when you create or modify a snippet file (.sublime-snippet) in Sublime Text. The purpose of this backup file is to provide a copy of the previous version of the snippet file in case you need to revert back to it. It ensures that you can recover your original snippet if you accidentally make unwanted changes or encounter any issues with the modified version.

  • How can I create a ".SUBLIME-SNIPPET backup" file in Sublime Text?

    To create a ".SUBLIME-SNIPPET backup" file in Sublime Text, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open Sublime Text and navigate to the package where your snippets are stored. You can find this location by going to "Preferences" > "Browse Packages".
