The External editors preferences page is accessed by selecting Options, followed by Preferences and finally Tools and toolbars from the main menu bar. Then click on the External editors tab at the top of the preferences dialog.
Magellan Explorer supports easy editing of different file formats through external editors. The edit tool will launch an editor for the selected file(s). To determine the editor to use, the settings configurable on this page are used.
To configure follow the following steps.
Step 1: Select the editor you wish to configure from the drop down menu. You can configure individual editors for text files, images, videos and audio files. You can also configure a hex editor to handle any other format.
Step 2: Enter the full path to the editor executable in the Editor location box, or use the browse button to help locate the editor.
Step 3: Add the extensions you wish to associate with this editor. These extensions determine which editor is invoked when you apply the edit tool on a file. An extension may only be associated with a single editor. To add extensions simply enter the extension, e.g. .txt in the Extensions box and click the + button. To remove extensions from the list of configured extensions simply select the extension and click the X button.
