I have installed the External Editor client on windows XP Pro and configured it to use gvim. First let me say that this is a great product. I am having a problem whenever I close a file after editing it. I get an error message saying that "External editor lost connection to editor process." The only thing I have been able to find is this is from the External editor site:
*If the editor launches, but the helper app complains that it lost its connection to the editor process, this is because your editor detached from the parent process (the helper app). Configure the editor such that it does not do this. Unfortunately, many MDI applications do this and cannot be configured otherwise. Look for a solution to this in a later version of external editor.
Does anyone have any hints on how to "configure the editor"?
On Linux I have to specify 'gvim -f' as the editor. Perhaps this would help on XP as well. Marius Gedminas -- Codeworks is available for Zope consulting -- http://www.codeworks.lt/
