Preferred external xhtml editor field cleared prematurely

mrprobert · Today, 03:05 AM

I apologize in advance if this is nonsense ...

My editor preference is set for: C:/Program Files/PageEdit/PageEdit.exe.

Edit -> Preferences and click on the Browse button.
Click Cancel on the Windows Browser window.
Voilà: the field has been cleared.

It seems to me that the field should not have been cleared. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Windows 10, Sigil v2.3.0

You're right.
I have prepared a PR to make it OK in the next release.

This has reminded me, could someone check the shortcut for Preferred external xhtml editor. This doesn't work for me in 2.3.0.

I think it used to work. But that would have before the ability to start PE with the opf was introduced, which is what I mainly use now.

The keyboard shortcut to the editor in me works.
Some time ago I specifically changed the default editor and tested different keyboard shortcuts.

I've come across the path clearing issue on cancel a few times, but never managed to remember to look into it. Thanks!
