Change color does not work

[cilia]

'Change Color' is greyed out under the 'Notes' menu, and there is no 'Notes: change color' in the command palette.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling PlainNotes but still does not work. Anywhere to check what the problem might be?

Are you saving your notes with a .note extension? Changing colour only works with that.

[cilia]

@fk128 yes, the files have .note extension.

Closing existing .note files in Sublime, then uninstalling and re-installing PlainNotes, and finally re-saving the .note files using 'Save as' seem to fix the problem. Strange.

[fk128]

Does this happen every time you create a new note?

[cilia]

No, this only happened once recently after I kept Sublime running for a long time and it crashed. After the crash, the coloring disappeared for both PlainNotes and PlainTasks.

Same here with ST build 3114 on Ubuntu 14.04. I followed the instructions from cilia without luck.

I'm a total newb on Sublime Text packages so I don't know the root cause of this issue, but it appears the syntax setting for the .note extension is changing to something notes.py doesn't expect.

In notes.py:NoteChangeColorCommand.is_enabled(), you can see that the 'Change Color' command will be enabled if the active window's syntax ends with "Note.tmLanguage". Running the following command in the console shows me that my syntax is set to 'Packages/PlainNotes/Note.sublime-syntax':
window.active_view().settings().get("syntax")

However, if I change the syntax setting to 'Packages/PlainNotes/Note.tmLanguage' then the 'Change Color' command returns:
window.active_view().settings().set("syntax", "Packages/PlainNotes/Note.tmLanguage")

This is at best a work-around, as the syntax setting goes back to 'Packages/PlainNotes/Note.sublime-syntax' when a new .note file is opened.

Perhaps notes.py:NoteChangeColorCommand.is_enabled() should be modified to enable the 'Change Color' command if the syntax setting ends with "Note.tmLanguage" OR "Note.sublime-syntax".

Hello @baringmo, I made the change and updated my local copy of the notes.py file with your suggestion of add window.active_view().settings().set("syntax", "Packages/PlainNotes/Note.sublime-syntax") in an or sentence and now it works.

I'll observe the behavior in order to see if there are any side effect.

Thank your for the tip!

@carlosprados Hey, I´m using windows, where can I find the file notes.py?
