Really, REALLY dumb question about build.settings

Hey everyone!

I’m nearly done with my first app, but I need to get into build.settings in order to finish up. However, (Here comes the dumbest question on the forums) I cannot get into them. I don’t know what I am supposed to open build.settings with. I’ve written everything else, but the one thing I could not find the answer to is how to get into and edit build.settings. I know this question is really dumb, but assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

build.settings is just a text file.  You can open it using any old text editor.  What you probably can’t do is double click on it and have the operating system recognize it and pick an app for you.  What ever you use to edit your .lua files can edit your build.settings.  You probably have to just do a File->Open command to open the file.

I’d figured that based on what I knew about it, but Lua Edit would not open the file correctly. I downloaded Sublime and it works much better. I don’t know why it didn’t work on Lua Edit, but it works now. Thanks!

I don’t know what Lua Edit is, but it sounds like it only wants to edit Lua files and I could see where the programmer(s) of the editor could reasonably expect to only edit .lua files.

Sublime is my personal editor of choice.
