Using UltraEdit with iPython

Postby sjzabel » Fri Feb 17, 2006 8:10 pm

Hi I am trying to use UltraEdit as the default editor for iPython.

The problem is that in order for it to work correctly iPython must be able to start UE from the command line with a new file and then wait until UE closes that particular file. Is there a command line option to do this? Preferably I would like to be able to leave UE open and have it return control when just that file closes.

Thanks,
Stephen

It's no problem to run UltraEdit with a new file from command line. Just specify the full file name of the new file although it does not exist. You must have the option Create a new file if file specified on command line does not exist checked at Configuration - Editor - New File Creation (by default it is checked).

But I think, leave UE open and just close the file will not work. I guess, iPyhton waits until the application it has started is terminated. That's the Windows standard when an application calls (not starts) an other application.
