[Version 4] SublimeLinter.sublime-settings is NOT generated/created after upgrading or even clean installing SL4

Using ST 3 dev build 3157, SublimeLinter 4, SublimeLinter-eslint 4.0, ESlint 4.18.1 in win10x64

I had SL 3.10.10. The settings I had were the following SublimeLinter (old).sublime-settings.

After upgrading to SL 4.0 no SublimeLinter.sublime-settings file is generated: Even if I remove SL and SL-eslint and re-install them, the file is not automatically generated.

Shouldn’t the settings (at least some of them) be migrated from the previous settings, on upgrade? Or, after removing+reinstalling SL4, shouldn’t a minimal SublimeLinter.sublime-settings file be created?

Should I manually copy the settings from SublimeLinter (old).sublime-settings to a new SublimeLinter.sublime-settings file? (removing ‘user’ and un-indent one level)

From the upgrade info message:

Default settings are no longer copied to the user settings.

To migrate your settings, first remove the “user” level and un-indent/flatten everything a level. Check the default settings to remove settings that don’t exist anymore:

• mark_style
• error_color
• gutter_theme_excludes
• passive_warnings
• show_errors_on_save
• tooltip_fontsize, tooltip_theme, tooltip_theme_excludes, tooltips
• warning_color
• wrap_find
• python_paths

You can keep the “linters” settings block if it contains customizations that you need. It’s also safe to remove it otherwise.

If you use the ${project} settings token you should change that to ${folder}.

There is no need to populate your user settings with anything. Your old settings doesn’t seem to contain any customisations, so you can probably keep it as is?

I misunderstood in the following phrase the ‘new settings’ part as ‘the migrated settings’, instead of ‘the new default settings’:

Your old settings will be backed up to SublimeLinter old.sublime-settings. You may want to compare them to the new settings and check if you want to migrate anything.

So, keeping it as it is, works fine. Thanks for replying, @braver, and to all involved for making this great new release!
