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"? Thanks, Mike

I'm using ExternalEditor with gvim on XP Pro, as you are. I did no special configuration (that I can recall) beyond the simple: editor = h:\vim\gvim.exe in the ZopeEdit.ini Works great. I don't experience any "connection lost" problems. So this message is not much help, except to say i don't think that snippet you quoted from the ZopeEditor site applies here. -- Tim Middleton | Cain Gang Ltd | A man is rich in proportion to the number of x@veX.net | www.Vex.Net | things which he can afford to let alone.

Does an External Editor helper application exist? I have a client I recently did a bunch of zope work for and their HTML designers are getting a little annoyed with <textarea/>. And for security reasons the client wants the FTP server disabled .. as well as DAV ... Even though I explained ipchains/tables to them ... On Thu, 2003-03-06 at 13:52, Tim wrote:

Probably, since they are really MAC gui oriented people. On Fri, 2003-03-07 at 07:38, Jim Washington wrote:

How did you disable DAV? ;-) Chris

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/

Connection lose appears after your editor detaches created by him the tempfile. Gvim probably has options to fix this (-f ?). External Editor works fine with both OS (UNIX and Win32), except on Windows there're some strangeness with WebDAV. But I think it might be Windows DAV implementation issues. -- Regards, Bogdan Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
