Changing default text editor to Crimson Editor.

I'm running latest (WAMPSERVER (64 BITS & PHP 5.5) 2.5)

I've changed my editor path in wampmanager.conf to crimson editor, here is what it looks like now,

installDir = "A:/Creator/wamp"
navigator = "C:\Windows\explorer.exe"
editor = "../../Utilities/Crimson Editor SVN286M/cedt.exe" <--This one.


Originally i had just added the path in normal... (A:/Utilities/Crimson Editor SVN2) format.
Then I had tried ../../Utilities/Crimson Editor SVN286M/cedt.exe
This is because whenever i load any conf, ini,or log files from the wamp menu it decides to send crimson editor to a nonexistant dir...

A:/Creator/wamp/A:/Creator/wamp/www/etc.. duplicating the (A:/Creator/wamp) section.


Both times i made this change i stopped services, quit wamp, started wamp, and refreshed just to be safe and make sure changes wouldn't possibly be innactive.


Both of these paths will let wamp exec Crimson Editor, but neither will send CE to the the correct file.


Does anyone know what I have to do to make this work?

Well you look like you have done the right thing

Here is a working example from my wampmanager.conf

editor = "c:/program files/notepad++/notepad++.exe"

So maybe the problem is with Crimson Editor! Its not one I have ever used, I had a quick look and it does seem a little old, last amended in 2008!?

If in doubt, try installing Notepad++, its also free and it does work and is probably as good if not better than Crimson.

Hi,

> editor = "../../Utilities/Crimson Editor SVN286M/cedt.exe"

Complete full path like this:
editor = "J:/Util/Texte/Notepad++/notepad++.exe"

With slash "/" and not backslash
