"Define other" Viewer/Editor Doesn't Retrieve File

Post by *Bandung »

This bug relates to the "view" and "edit" functions. If I change the default edit app to Vim.exe for instance, and I have a file stored in the Storage Card, Total Commander will not get the file because of the space in the path

"\Storage Card\My Documents\file.txt". It tries to grab
"\Storage" instead.

The default editor and viewer exhibit the correct behaviour. They will load a file whose path contains spaces.

I tried to change the registry entry for viewer for example, which is located at...

HKCU\Software\Ghisler\CeCmd\Viewer\Configuration\Viewer

to include the following...

"\Storage Card\Program Files\Vim\Vim.exe" "%1"

rather than ...

"\Storage Card\Program Files\Vim\Vim.exe"

Unfortunately, It still tries to find a file named \Storage.py rather than the one \Storage Card\myfile.py as an example.

This bug exists in version 2.0 as well.

More precisely TC calls external application with several parameters, one for each part of path delimited by spaces.

So the effect of opening "\Storage Card\My Documents\file.txt" file is
like opening three separate "\Storage", "Card\My" and "Documents\file.txt" files.
