F4 editor and multiple files selected

#1 Post by horst.epp » 04.03.2014, 16:57

If I define an external editor using the parameter %ActivSel%
it works with one selected file but not with more.
Selecting 2 files for example opens the 2nd name but with empty content.

If I make a botton on the favorite toolbar ist works perfect independend of the number of selected files.

This happens with any editor I tried (PSpad, Notepad+++, EditpadLite7)

Using FCXE x64 build 653 donor
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3296)
Everything Version 1.5.0.1371a (x64), Everything Toolbar 1.3.2, Listary Pro 6.3.0.67
FreeCommander XE 2024 Build 905 64-bit donor

NOT Confirmed in FC XE 653 donor in Windows XP SP 3 Pro in Akelpad 4.8.7 (x86) editor defined as external editor using the parameter %ActivSel%. Works fine with ANY number of files.

Please note that we are talking about the x64 version !
I guess your Windows XP is not in this categorie :D

Same happens with Notepad2, but I'm not sure it's FC's fault. I think it might be a question of what command line parameters Notepad2 accepts.

I tried this using Notepad++ (.c files) and NoteTab6 (.txt files) and it worked correctly.

It did not matter if I used the F4 key or the Editor Toolbar Icon.

It also worked with Word (.doc files) with Wordviewer and with Excel (.xls files) using Excelviewer.

I cannot confirm the problem!

A bit off-topic:

I have just noticed that if I select a folder or more, and press F4 then all the files in that folder are opened with my "default" editor (default = for which I put "*" in editor's filter)

If in that folder I have files with a extension for which I have definned another editor, still F4 opens all files with "default" editor.

I think this behavior might be useful when you want to open all files from more folders you select..., but I'm not sure this is not a inappropriate behavior of Freecomander.

I use version 695.
