Default Editor

FileLocator Pro by default uses its built-in file viewer to display a read-only view of a file's contents. However, it is possible to change the default viewer to an external 3rd party editor by specifying the path name and command line parameters for the external editor. Also, FileLocator Pro supports opening files in Microsoft's Visual Studio.

External Editor

To use an external editor specify the full path to the editor application and then, in the field below, any command line parameters to be passed to the editor when it is launched. To pass the file name and line number in the command line use the variables $(FILEPATH) and $(LINENUM).

Common Editor Defaults - contains the preset settings to quickly set the command line parameters for a few well known editors. To use these defaults simply select the editor from the drop down list.
