I have Dev Studio 5.3.4 configured thus:

Default file editor: Edit in Windows registered tool.

This does not work. fex, acx and mas files are configured in Windows to open in EditPlus, but Dev Studio does not. There is no option to "edit in external tool" or "edit in Windows registered tool" when right-clicking a file. Am I missing something?

Interestingly, when I right-click a JavaScript file, I do get the option "Open (In Editplus)"

Francis,

I just install EditPlus and when I right mouse click on the fex I have the option:

Open(in EditPlus)

Lucky you Smiler

For some reason, in my installation, acx, mas and fex files do not have that option. css and js files do. Weird Frowner

Once I add the existing fex to a SESSION folder, I can open it in EditPLUS.
