Can you copy a path from Editor field to Windows run dialog and execute it from there?
e.g.
c:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe

pangi,

Path to editor in options is OK (I tried several editors)

Try defining it as one of these:

Code: Select all

c:\path\to\editor.exe %1
c:\path\to\editor.exe "%1"

In somer special cases Windows removes the quotation marks from the path to the editor. Pleas open your wincmd.ini (location you can determine by [alt]+[h]elp, then [a]bout ), search for the key:

Code: Select all

editor="File\Location\of\your\editor.exe"

and place a second pair of quotationmarks around it:

Code: Select all

editor=""File\Location\of\your\editor.exe""

That does the trick in my case.

I put quotation marks in options, and its works.

Before:
D:\Program Files\PSPad\PSPad.exe

After:
"D:\Program Files\PSPad\PSPad.exe"
