At present only one editor is available for customizing. But there is a situation when different editors are required for usual files and e.g. files from FTP.
More detailed description of the problem:
In editing files from FTP and from archives TC is waiting for the editor process to finish, and then checks if it has changed the temporary file (to decide whether repack/upload the changed file or not). But if one use a multi-document editor this approach doesn't work: in most cases the editor process is already running with several documents, and opening a new document doesn't create a new process, so TC does not ask for repacking/uploading the changed file when the document is closed.
So, my suggestion is: to make settings for different editors for these 3 situations, so that the user could use his favourite multi-document editor for usual files (when watching for changes is not necessary), and some single-document editor for files from FTP and/or archives. These options could be implemented without user interface, just via wincmd.ini setting, e.g.:
Editor - a usual editor
EditorFTP - editor for files from FTP
EditorArchive - editor for files from archives
(For example, I personally use EmEditor 5.0. It is multi-document, but allows to run it as a single-document instance with the /sp command-line key. So I could specify:
Code: Select all
Editor=emeditor.exe
EditorFTP=emeditor.exe /sp
EditorArchive=emeditor.exe /sp
).
