Editor Command No Longer Takes Parameters

Post by TimeGhost »

I had this set in the configuration for Editor (same as is v2.52):

Command: c:\EMACS22\bin\gnuclientw.exe -q -F
Arguments: ($Name)
Initial Directory: ($FullPath)

Pressing F4 to edit a file worked in v2.52. But in v2.53 beta 1, it no longer works.

I get a message box:
---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Cannot execute external editor 'c:\EMACS22\bin\gnuclientw.exe -q -F'.
(2) The system cannot find the file specified.
---------------------------
[OK]
---------------------------

After playing with it a bit, I figured out to put the Emacs switches into Arguments:
Command: c:\EMACS22\bin\gnuclientw.exe
Arguments: -q -F ($Name)
Initial Directory: ($FullPath)

This works.

So no need for a bug report. Just alerting folks in case anyone has the same problem.
