Hi,
I've written an open-sourced collection of Windows Explorer shell
extensions that supports a bunch of different text editors, including
SciTE, and a few other Scintilla-based editors.
It provides a few (IMHO useful) features that aren't that common in other
editor's shell extensions.
The project is available on SourceForge/GitHub at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/editwith/
The only "issue" that I had with SciTE, was that it didn't seem to register
itself with Windows, and so I had to "guess" that it would always be
installed in the 32-bit Program Files directory ... which is obviously not
always going to be the case.
Can anyone suggest a better way to find out if SciTE is available on
someone's computer?
One thing to note is that I load up SciTE's icon from the SciTE.exe file
(if I can find it).
It is faster to load it up from within the shell extension itself ... but
then I would need permission to use/copy/distribute the SciTE icon.
I have so far received permission from 13 commercial/open-source text
editor authors to use their icon within my shell extension ... can someone
here tell me who can give me permission to use the SciTE icon?
If TPTB here feel that the shell extension is a useful addition to SciTE,
then please feel free to copy/fork it ... it's been released under the
Boost License specifically to make that easy to do.
Thanks,
John.
