Calling External Text Editor |

Frederick Chin | Malcolm,
/* This is my editor http://www.pspad.com/en/ Now that HAS a feature list that Tim could emulate */ I can see a scenario where EWB could work with any text editor:- 1. EWB starts or switches to an external editor via a shortcut. 2. Before switching to the external editor, EWB saves all updated source files. 3. In the external editor, it would present me with the latest source file. 4. I make any changes I want with the source file(s) while enjoying the features the text editor has. 5. I switch back to EWB. 6. EWB checks any loaded source file for date/time/size differences. 7. If present, the source file(s) are reloaded 8. I see the changes made in the text editor within EWB.

Matthew Jones | Indeed, this is by far the better way. I'd suggest that EWB should have a "save on
de-activate" mode to make this easier. Delphi does this change detection of course. It is a normal way of working, to allow more advanced tools to be used. /Matthew Jones/ |

Frederick Chin | Tim,
/* I thought that you were referring to a "hosted" solution. Yes, the above can be done and I'll add it to the list of enhancements. */ Great! I use Delphi for everything and minor text editing but switch to the external locally installed text editor for heavy duty text editing work. I am really looking forward to this enhancement.
