In "Project Options -> External Files" I have added local JavaScript files. (I use external JavaScript files with EWB in this way very often).

Unfortunately it seems to be not possible to edit them directly in EWB. And unfortunately, it is so fussy and cumbersome to search for them in the file-system to edit them!

It would be SO NICE to double-click a JavaScript file in EWB Project Manager and have it automatically opened in my preferred JavaScript editor!

Or at least drag it with the mouse to the window of my preferred JavaScript editor!

PLEASE!

PA,

That's how it *does* work.  If you aren't seeing an editor appear, then you should re-check your Windows file associates (Control Panel/Default Programs) to make sure that you have an editor associate with .js files.

For example, I use Notepad++ for editing JS files, and that's what pops up when I double-click on any external JS files in the EWB project manager.

Tim, thank you so much, now it works!

Tim,

is there somewhere a command to open the local project directory?

No, but that's a good idea, so I'll add it to the list.

Tim, thank you!

The idea behind is to do everything from the IDE, without having to use the file explorer in the development process.

So it would also be nice being able to automatically run the application in the default (or any other browser) after the Run command.
