This seems very weak for a top-of-the-line file MANAGER.
Proposal: Add SMART editor launch that will use multiple layers of information to select the editor the user desires to open:
- First layer: A new "Editor Assignment" dialog in x2 to set up editors, and the command line prototype, by extension.
- Second layer: Use the Windows-defined EDIT verb, which may not be the default action for this file type, to open the file with the desired editor.
- Last chance layer: When the above fail, open the file in the DEFAULT editor, which can be set up in the "Editor Assignment" dialog by checking a box beside the editor to use as the default.
What's not to like about this needed functionality? This can be extended to the BROWSE function (F3), but the generic editor2 seems to meet most of my browsing needs. Editors are a different story!
OK, let's shoot holes in this idea or let me know if you agree this is a feature you'd like to see.
