Options for External Quick Editor

This window is displayed when you press the Options button on the Quick Edit page of the Options window. You can use this window to specify the external text editor that should be launched by AB Commander when you choose the command to open a text file with the external Quick Editor. This window contains the following areas:

Path to External Quick Editor

The path to the application you want AB Commander to run whenever you use the external Quick Editor.

Command line arguments

The command line to be passed to the external quick editor. The following character combination, %1, may be used in this field to denote the full path of the file currently selected in a panel.

Use short (8.3) path

If checked, this option causes AB Commander to substitute the short DOS alias for the full path of the selected object, in place of the %1 specification in the command line. This option is useful if the external Quick Editor application you use does not support long file names. If this option is not checked, the regular long path is used.

Open maximized

If checked, this option causes AB Commander to open the external Quick Editor application in a maximized window.
