F3 - Ultraedit with read-only flag...

[AlexF]

For Configuration -> Operation -> Edit/View - Exyernal viewer, I specified

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\uedit64.exe" "%1"  /r

However, when pressing F3 over file, I see Ultraedit error "filename \r contains an incorrect path." (same if '/r' is specified before "%1").

Suggestions for fix, please?

[petermad]

Try without "%1"

It looks like a bug in Ultraedit, for me (UE 2022.1.0.112 (29.1.0.112) 64-bit ) /r doesn't work at all, so write to support@idmcomp.com or to idm@idmcomp.com

Do that work for you from command line (cmd.exe) ?

"C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\uedit64.exe" "C:\Temp\test.txt" /r

For me doesn't work neither on Win 7 nor Win 10

Its definitely an UltraEdit problem.
TC can call the configured Editor with additional parameters.
Tested with PSPad.

Indeed!

Another idea


See https://www.ultraedit.com/wiki/Command_line_parameters

"You can open one or more files as read-only by adding the /r flag immediately following the file name(s)."


There is no example shown for /r,
but for "Opening to specific line / column number" there is this example shown:
uedit64 d:\projects\juce\juce.h/5/2



That's why I guess the syntax for read-only should be
"C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\uedit64.exe" "C:\Temp\test.txt"/r
or
"C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\uedit64.exe" "C:\Temp\test.txt/r"



I have no UE here, maybe someone want to check that out w/o the space between filename and parameter. . . .

No luck, doesn't work either

"filename \r contains an incorrect path."

D'oh... Apologies, I presumed this wasn't an Ultraedit problem.

Update: bug confirmed by vendor.
