The Edit in MMD Composer option appears disabled

[mikeerickson]

I have nvALT configured to allow editing using MMD Composer, however, when clicking on the Edit menu item, MMD Composer is listed but it is disabled. Furthermore, the associated keyboard code doesnt work either. ![Uploading nvALTScreenSnapz001.png . . .]()

I'm experiencing the same problem...

I have the same problem. I bought MMD Composer partly to use it as an external editor for nvALT. I'm running 2.2b101, and both MMD Composer 2.0 and 2.1b2. I'm kind of going over my head in this, but some places I started looking:

• Does MMD Composer need to expressly identify itself as an editor of .txt files (like in the app plist)? It looked like the external editor evaluation included a caveat to look for editor status of an application.
• Does nvALT need to use .(m)md instead? (MMD Composer identifies as an .md editor)
• Is the ODB Editor list for nvALT still used? I didn't think MMD Composer 2 followed that method, so this may not matter.

Anyway, what I've done in the meantime is create the file in nvALT or MMD Composer. If creating in nvALT, open it manually in MMD Composer, and saving it will bring the changes into nvALT. If creating in MMD composer, I manually save into the directory of my nvALT notes.

I'm curious to find out what Brett (accidentally?) did to make it work: https://twitter.com/MMDSoftware/status/301705143697678336
