min. TC 7.56 to 8.01: File not found error

[LvlLord]

Hello,
I just found an error with the handling of external editor (viewer + x may also be affected).
As default the editor-Path will be saved without " in front and back.
This may lead to an "File not found" error, when there is a file with a part of that filename.

For example:
My editor is (C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe). When there is a file C:\Program (without extension), I will get the error.

Workaround:
When the double quotes are added in front and in the back, the call will work.

Sorry but I can't understand where is a bug. If you specify path with spaces, you should enclose it with quotes. If you use %1 in editor's command line to specify path to a file, you need to enclose it with quotes to get it working with paths with spaces. Quotes are necessary to enclose any parameters with spaces.

Simply open Windows Run dialog and try to call your editor w/o quotes, same error.

Hello,
the bug is, that the path is inserted without quotes by TCmd, when you search for the alternative editor (with the ">>" button).

I know that a path with spaces should be included in quotes, but I expect, that a selection of an external editor should then include the quotes when needed.

Ah, got it. Yes, I can confirm that it doesn't work if there is a program Program.exe (it may be used by trojans).
TC must double-quote paths with spaces.

Hello,

I am using TC (x64) 8.01 and I have the samme problem.
When I want to the functionnality of the "F4" button, it's tells me that the file is not found (the path of the program).
I can make a short cut on the menu bar, but it is not opening the file I want to edit.
I try to add " before and after the ling like: "C:\Prog....exe" but it is not helping.
It has worked until recently but not anymore

Do you have an idea to solve this?
I try yo uninstall and reinstall notepad++, but it doesn't help!

Works fine here with TC 8.50 b12
Browse in the Configuration dialog to the exe and TC automatically adds the required "" around the path.

I am editing some critical data, so I will wait for the defintly release.
I try to uninstall and reinstall TC (8.01) but it is still not working.
I don't understand, because it was working last week!

Did you add the quotes in Configuration/Options/Edit-View or in the 'menu bar' you were talking about?

Do you have access to the file? Can you edit the file when using explorer and context menu?

[christophe]

Thank you for your answer White

Did you add the quotes in Configuration/Options/Edit-View or in the 'menu bar' you were talking about?

In the Configuration/Options/Edit-View. In the menu bar notepad++ is opening normally.

Do you have access to the file? Can you edit the file when using explorer and context menu?

Yes, I have access to the file and can edit it when using explorer and context menu.

The problems started after a notepad++ upgrading.

Could the following be the cause?

[christophe]

Yes it is!
both have to run as administrator.
Thank you very much White

Well

I updated to the lasted version though I orginally had no need to do so since all was fine

except until today:

I had to reinstall windows and went for win 8.1 64bit. But now I can no more edit files directly via F4 external editor settings.

Path should be fine:
Editor="C:\Program Files\Notepad2\Notepad2.exe" "%1"
Viewer="C:\Program Files\Notepad2\Notepad2.exe" "%1"


Solution here says: run as administrator...
Well, I tried and did not work besides I do not want to run TC as admin all the time.

So, please tell me what I can do?

So you use Windows 64bit. Do you use TC 64bit or 32bit? And do you use Notepad2 64bit or 32bit?
