cm_Edit

[pd]

cm_Edit commande uses Notpad to edit selected files.
Does anyone knows if it is possible to change that into Textpad.
Thanks,

[Raymond]

Main menu: Configuration - Edit/View - Editor
Then you can set your favorite editor.

I know that option. But in toolbar I have an icon which opens one jurnal file (txt) and I would like to open it with Textpad. In command option there is cm_Edit (Notpad). How to change that to Textpad.

How to change that to Textpad.

Hello,

Command: cm_edit
Parameters: %P%N (or another file of your choice)

This will use the editor set in configuration.
If you have set the filename only as command Total Commander will not use the editor set in configuration but instead the program which is associated with text files which is notepad by default.

You may try to set the parameters to %L. Some editors support it directly. Otherwise you'll have to use Lst2mlt or a similar tool.

It's only the description that say's 'cm_edit (notepad)'. If you've changed the editor as lefteous has mentioned, there would be Textpad opened instead. If you would like to see instead 'cm_edit (Edit(Textpad))' you could alter your totalcmd.inc in the program directory.

c:\SPSS\Spss_12.jnl cm_Edit

I am sorry but I don't know how to use %N%P parameters
Can you please show.
Thanks!

Hi!
It's simple. Right click on the button, select "Change" and in the context menu insert %N%P into the "parameters" field. Thats it.
BTW: your command line looks a bit strange to me. Is this really pointing to a valid executable? Maybe I just don't know the program, of course.

It was realy simple. I just remove cm_Edit and associate *.jnl extention with texpad and it works.
Thanks for tips!

Just a quick sidenote:

Txplink4: "This little program can be renamed to NOTEPAD.EXE, or any other program that you would like to substitute TextPad for. It just runs TextPad 4 (TEXTPAD.EXE) instead."

c:\SPSS\Spss_12.jnl cm_Edit

To your knowledge: the internal cm_??? commands have always to stay alone in the command line.

Additional parameters has to be set in the Parameter line. So if you would need a button to edit just this Spss_12.jnl you'll have to make a button this way:

Code: Select all

Command: c:\Program\textpad\textpad.exe
Parameters: c:\SPSS\spss_12.jnl
Start path:
Icon file: [select an Icon file you like]
Tooltip: [Here you can insert a text that is displayed if the mouse is over this button. If it's empty the command line is displayed (if this option is enabled)]

Previous command worked with notpad, I did not and will not change my current command. It works just fine.

To your knowledge: there are exceptions of this rule.

Which??

Additional parameters has to be set in the Parameter line. So if you would need a button to edit just this Spss_12.jnl you'll have to make a button this way:

Code: Select all

Command: cm_edit
Parameters: c:\SPSS\spss_12.jnl

Does it work for you? My experiences: cm_Edit doesn't support any parameters but it opens ever the file under cursor.[/quote]

True, it does not. I have edited my example. I use textpad, too. But I use the programm name instead of cm_edit and forgot about it.Sorry.

Sorry for giving a wrong solution. It's cm_List which supports a filename as parameter not cm_Edit.
