[Solved] Cant change text editor

Post by JamesAC »

I seem to be unable to change the config editor through the Rainmeter.ini

With no "configeditor=" statement in the file the default, notepad is used. As soon as I add the line with the path for Notepad++ the file is not loaded at all when i click the "edit skin" option :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

EDIT: Just realised this should probably go in the help section.

Just change so all .ini-files opens with notepad++ ?
Much easier..
I don't think, therefore I'm not.

The format is a bit picky is all

ConfigEditor=""C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe""

Notice the double double quotes...
