This issue should be fixed in 08d213e (one of the commits from PR #26.)

The solution was to convert to UTF-8 and store the temporary file as binary.

That indexing error definitely doesn’t sound related to this plugin.

I was referring to indexing: crawldb not available, indexing abandoned

Ok… That’s good to see the tests pass I guess. Suggests something is different between our Sublime Text setups affecting it.

Could you paste in your preferences file? Might also be worth checking any other plugins you have installed but I’m not sure how’s best to check them without uninstalling them 1 by 1 which I’d understand if you didn’t want to do that.

(re ps: cheers, guess I never tried 😊 I’ll log it)
