Having a space in the filepath for the configured editor breaks Script Editor functionality

[valy1234]

For instance, anything with "Program Files" throws an error when attempting to create or edit a script.

I'm not having success in recreating this My own editor setting is editor=C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe Can you copy/paste your editor from #config?

Hi, thanks for taking a look.

editor=C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe

3 things: First, can you verify that NPP is actually installed at that location? Second, assuming it is installed, what is the error it throws? Finally, can you try the latest Test Build at https://github.com/GenieClient/Genie4/releases/tag/Test_Build and see if that resolves the issue? I still can't recreate it having the exact same config

[valy1234]

I'll try the updated one soon and report back. Thanks again.

P.S. Shot in the dark, but could it have to do with running G4 as admin? ('m not currently)

I don't believe it would. I don't run as admin and I've been trying to get rid of anything that might require it (it was necessary for Lich for a while and shouldn't be any more) - but one possibility on that end is if your NPP install is locked behind admin privileges it could require you to be running that way to launch. Possibly.

You can try checking the Security on your NPP Folder and making sure that Users have Read & Execute permission

Tried the newest test build:

This looked good, but it gave me an idea:

Turned this off (it was checked):

Now I can both create new scripts and edit existing ones (in Notepad++) via the Script Explorer dialog box.

I've experienced a similar issue with a DAW where I couldn't drag-and-drop audio files into it when running it as admin. I don't know how this stuff works behind the scenes, but it feels like running a program as administrator can prevent those without admin access from interacting with them in certain ways.

At any rate, the issue seems resolved. Thank you very much for the assistance!

Awesome! Running things with elevated permissions can get weird sometimes when something with less permission needs to interact, but I don't usually see that with the file system. At any rate I'm really glad it worked out!
