Settings / Programs will not execute user specified program
Settings / Programs will not execute user specified program
Have specified external programs to be executed under Settings / Programs (Editor and Compare Files in my case), but cannot activate the specified programs regardless of the TargetExt1 extension setting in the FreeCommander.ini file. (tried *, *.*, etc.)
Always get the "Please Define External Program..." error message.

Re: Settings / Programs will not execute user specified program
Hi to all,
I have the same problem. I can set a programm in Settings -> Programs -> Editors, but it doesn't work?!
My settings are (sorry, I can't paste a screen shot):
Filter: .txt (I also test it with: txt and *.txt)
Program: C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Parameters: %ActivSel%
(checkbox is active)
The actual file will open everytime with the editor from Windows.
Or is the problem, that I have installed a 32-bit and my notepad++ is a 64-bit application?
Windows 10, FreeCommander XE 2018 Build 770 32-bit public
I hope somebody can help me. Thanks for supporting me.

Re: Settings / Programs will not execute user specified program
If you have many lines under Settings -> Programs -> Editors than change the order of the lines. Make the line with your editor as first.
Re: Settings / Programs will not execute user specified program
I have only this one line
Re: Settings / Programs will not execute user specified program
For programs defined under Settings -> Programs -> Editors you must use F4 for editing.
Re: Settings / Programs will not execute user specified program
Thank you very much. This was the problem. I used ENTER and not F4.
