Open script in editor

[kpassaur]

In the past I was able to right click on a script and then open it in the editor. I installed ver 15 and it runs the script when I choose open with. I forgot how I changed it to open in the editor does anyone know. I searched the forum for +editor +open +right +click but no luck

Try add "-EDITOR" after the path in the target setting of the shortcut:

from

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Macro Scheduler 15\msched.exe"

to

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Macro Scheduler 15\msched.exe" -EDITOR

I guess the same goes for the standard application settings?

I already do that. I am trying to make it so I right click on a script and from the drop down I select "Open With" and have it open in the editor. Currently it runs it, before I updated to ver 15 I could do it.

Regedit:

Code: Select all

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\msched\shell\open\command

from:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Macro Scheduler 15\msched.exe" "%1"

to:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Macro Scheduler 15\msched.exe" "%1" "-EDITOR"

Double click on a macro file (.scp) will now open it in the editor instead of running it.

EDIT: it just opens the editor, not with the script... sorry.

EDIT2: this should work:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Macro Scheduler 15\msched.exe" "-EDITOR" "%1"

And right click and choose "edit" instead of "open" will already do what you want...?

PS. and thanks for asking because I now have put this as my default action when clicking a script Never got around to do it until you reminded me.

Many thanks, now it opens in the editor just the way I wanted.

The regex hack is being reset when I update MS. Could this be made into an option?

[Grovkillen]

I have now found out that the "(Standard)" value is read/written with the key set to "":

Code: Select all

RegistryReadKey>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,msched\shell\open\command,,CURRENT_KEY_VALUE

Should perhaps be added to the help documentation?

Any input on this?
