Text Editor Options

Click on each Object type for which you would like to use an external editor. In addition you should specify which editor you want to use with each object type. If no editor is specified the default is used. To do this choose an object type from the selection next to "External Editor for object type" and then type the command for this editor in the text field. You can also change the default editor if you like

For example: notepad $f will call the notepad editor (under Windows) with the name of the file.

The variables that you can use are documented in the reference manuals.

If you set the "Confirm Save on Exit" option, when you exit the external editor you will be asked whether you want to save the changes to the ProMod-PLUS database.

If you do not set "Confirm Save on Exit" the changes are automatically saved to the database when you exit the editor.
