Hello,
I have sublime Text 3 and I can't edit the Browser.sublime-settings file. I set chrome as my default browser, but as I couldn't change "%Local AppData%" to my actual route "C:\Program Files (x86)" It isn't working.

How can I go through this?

Thanks in advance.

PS: It's working with the other browsers, and I'm using windows 8.1.

Are you editing your own user version of the View In Browser.sublime-settings file (described in https://github.com/adampresley/sublime-view-in-browser/wiki/Configuring-Browsers)? If so can you paste it in a comment here so I can look at it?

thanks @adampresley. My bad :/ I didn't know I had to copy the default [View In Browser.sublime-settings and paste them to the user [View In Browser.sublime-settings]. So I could overwrite the "%Local AppData%" to my real chrome file location.

Now It's working :) , I appreciate your help.

This is a really old post but for anyone trying to get this working, this is how I got around it. If u want to use chrome then you set up your user preferences file as mentioned above (changing the default path to chrome to be something like C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe and the selectedBrowser at the bottom to 'chrome').

In sublime under 'Preferences->PackageSettings->View in Browser->Settings-Default', change the bottom section from "browser": "firefox" to "browser": "chrome64"

won't let me edit "Settings-Default", if I browser to the folder where it claims to be stored it's not there / right click > open containing folder takes to c:/.

to work, left it all as supplied then added this as the only contents of the settings-user:

{
"browser": "chrome64"
}

and it worked

Dangit.. Still not working for me.
I tried everything detailed here.

Made the following file in the Packages\User folder:

View In Browser.txt

Edited everything related to Chrome so it will point at the right program location.. and I still can't get "Open in Browser" to work with it.

@captaininbox Thanks, that solution worked for me :)

{
"browser": "chrome64"
}

in "View In Browser.sublime-settings"-file.

  1. Ctrl + `
  2. I found the following error:
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\sublime\Data\Packages\View In Browser\ViewInBrowserCommand.py", line 137, in getWindowsUserShellFolders
   return_dict[name] = value.encode("ascii")
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe1' in position 26: ordinal not in range(128)
  1. I opened the file ViewInBrowserCommand.py line 137, I changed:
    value.encode("ascii") for value.encode("utf-8")

It worked!
