[Zope] [Re] External Editor 0.5 Problem win98 Zope

[Charlie Reiman]

That's not it. My ZopeEdit.ini looks like this:

# Uncomment and specify an editor value to override the editor
# specified by the operating system
editor = C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\i686-pc-cygwin\gnuclient.exe
#editor = C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\i686-pc-cygwin\xemacs.exe
#editor = Notepad.exe
#editor = C:\cygwin\bin\vim.exe

Each of these options has worked for me. Her problem is something else.

I did have a problem where after several uses, gnuclient wouldn't start up
but I doubt that is related. Rebooting Windows fixed the problem for a
while. I just upgraded to .5 so I don't know yet if I still have the
problem.

For my money, the ftp access via xemacs is much easier to use than the
ExternalEditor. I'm impressed by EE and it's cool, but it just doesn't work
well for me.
