Altap Salamander Support Forums

I would like to use notepad++ as my default editor (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/about.php) .
For some reason, opening a file in notepad++ from Salamander using F4 gives a problem when notepad++ is already running (I get a file doesn't exist message).
Opening the same file in notepad++ from the command line works fine.
NB the problem only occurs when notepad++ is already running.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, it seems that I do get the same problem when I run notepad++ from the commandline. This means that the problem is not related to Salamander, so I will report the problem to notepad++.

Best regards
Maarten

Have you tried using in the Arguments: box?

I don't know if you need even some more option in order to make it work. E.g I use IrfanView as a viewer with the following arguments: In the Initial Directory: field I recommend to use either $[USERPROFILE] or $[TEMP] or (in rare cases) the program's executable path.

You need to consult your program's documentation to find out the proper parameters to use.

definitly configuration problems.
I am using notepad++.exe v3.8
and configuration as follow:
arguments: "$(FullName)" /*yep! quotes included to support LFN with spaces*/
initialy directory: $(FullPath) /*no quotes in this case*/

Works fine for me and I tried versions 3.8, 4.0.1 and 4.0.2

File mask: *.*
Command: C:\npp.4.0.2\notepad++.exe
Arguments: "$(FullName)"
Initialy directory: $(FullPath)

Notepad++ is not instaled, just unpacked from ZIP archive.
