Got a similar issue since TC 11 beta7 with a dedicated text editor [without Choice Editor]:
User case:
F4 editor settings: AkelPad, a relative path to the
AkelPad.exe:
Code: Select all
[Configuration]
Editor=Plugins\app\AkelPad\AkelPad.exe
Issue: AkelPad cannot open file(s) with a message similar to the one in the title.
Workarounds found:
[1] F4 editor settings: Same as above with input parameter "%1" added:
Code: Select all
Editor=Plugins\app\AkelPad\AkelPad.exe "%1"
Issues: None. Not affected. AkelPad works as intended.
[2] F4 editor settings: absolute path to the exe (either literal or with variable):
Code: Select all
Editor=l:\iteral\TC\Plugins\app\AkelPad\AkelPad.exe
Editor=%commander_path%\Plugins\app\AkelPad\AkelPad.exe
Issues: None. Not affected. AkelPad works as intended.
Other editors: notepad.exe; notepad++.exe (I always rename it as
npp.exe):
F4 editor settings: any way to set a path to the exe (either relative, literal, or with variable)
Code: Select all
Editor=notepad.exe
Editor=Plugins\app\Npp\npp.exe
Editor=l:\iteral\TC\Plugins\app\Npp\npp.exe
Editor=%commander_path%\Plugins\app\Npp\npp.exe
Issues: None. Not affected. Everything works as intended.
Conclusion:
Explicitly, something has been changed in this regard in TC 11 beta7 that in certain cases can provoke unusual behavior where things have been working for years with no issues.
Edit:
Out of curiosity, if I change the custom npp.exe name back to the standard one (
notepad++.exe), it becomes affected exactly in the same way as AkrelPad does:
Affected:
Code: Select all
Editor=Plugins\app\Npp\notepad++.exe
Not affected:
Code: Select all
Editor=Plugins\app\Npp\notepad++.exe "%1"
Editor=l:\iteral\TC\Plugins\app\Npp\notepad++.exe
Editor=%commander_path%\Plugins\app\Npp\notepad++.exe
