I kow about that annoying EditWaitTime. This is the first thing i switch off. So that is not really a solution for me. But for the time being, I do switch it on, so I can use your program :-) Thanks for the clarification.
ChoiceEdit solves this in a way, it stays resident, until the called editor is closed.
BTW, please support my wish, it would solve even this problem:
Feature req: re-upload changed file to the ftp server
I switched to Linux, bye and thanks for all the fish!

I just retried ChoiceEditor, find it is identical with F4Menu, just stays resident for SDI, and do NOT stay for MDI.

I tried it too, and you are right... :oops:
So, I can live with this now, just have to get used to the new method. Thanks again.

Sorry, last time I misunderstood your meaning
Actually, that's TC's issue too, because TC is not an unicode app and doesn't support unicode filename, by LB_GETTEXT, F4Menu gets "Fran?ais.lang", not "Français.lang", so it can not open such file. When TC convert to Unicode, this issue will be resolved.
Maybe, I can do some workaround to resolve partial problem.

TC sends unicode filename to editor, I use Bred3 and AkelPad, all works fine.

Yes, these editors can work for F4, but the sent file name is NOT unicode, just a 8.3 ansi file name.
for instance, "Français.lang" is sent as "FRANAI~1.LAN".

I use a workaround to make F4Menu work with unicode file names,
just a workaround, and in some particular cases may does not work :)

It's really necessary?
Please use Total Commander shortcut key F4 to launch F4Menu. You can set it by Configuration -> Options -> Edit/View -> Editor for F4.
I mint the behaviour not the message :D

I would like to be able to use it from 7zip or Universal Vierwer or ..

Swap the foreground and background mode hotkeys, and you're set.

Outside usage would really be nice, just like ChoiceEditor:
1. It allows to only start the Exe which then shows the menu. Choosing an entry starts the editor without a file.
2. It accepts files to open on command line.

Yes. Understand. But why F4Menu cannot find that file.

Oh, F4Menu_v0.142 works better, it finds files "Ελληνική.lng" and "中文.lng",
but cannot find "Français.lng" or "Slovenský.lng". It is very strange.
If exists "1.txt" cannot open "μετα.txt" and opens "1.txt" instead.
If delete "1.txt" then file "μετα.txt" opens OK.

Exactly, I use ChoiceEditor with hotkey instead New(Context Menu); and also I use it from UniversalViewer's toolbar

As I mentioned before, just a workaround, hehe,
I find clipboard can get unicode filename from TC, maybe I'll use clipboard to do it, in this way, and F4Menu can also support TC 6.x
