Hi Jeff.
I started to reply to your e-mail last week but got lost in actually getting
it to work. There is an xml file in the searches directory (configure.xml).
These functions are in that file...
function editCSSFile(strFilename)
{
var myEditor = (typeof cssEditorExe != "undefined") ? cssEditorExe :
"notepad";
var install_dir = ".";
if (ensureLauncher())
{
install_dir = DQSDLauncher.InstallationDirectory;
}
var cmd = "\""+myEditor+"\" \""+install_dir+"\\"+strFilename + "\"";
openDocument(cmd);
}
function editConfigFile(strFilename)
{
var myEditor = (typeof configureEditorExe != "undefined") ?
configureEditorExe : "notepad";
var install_dir = ".";
if (ensureLauncher())
{
install_dir = DQSDLauncher.InstallationDirectory;
}
var cmd = "\""+myEditor+"\" \""+install_dir+"\\"+strFilename + "\"";
openDocument(cmd);
}
If I understand it you should be able to put something like the following in
your localaliases.txt:
cssEditorExe="c:\progfiles\myapp\myapp.exe"
configureEditorExe="c:\progfiles\myapp2\myapp2.exe"
making the appropriate edits as necessary.
PROBLEM: I couldn't get that to work. (Brent, I think you wrote
configure.xml is this correct? Should the !="undefined" actually be
="undefined" in the functions?)
SO: You could always just edit those functions in configure.xml and replace
"notepad" with the full path to the exe.
BUT: Configure.xml will always get overwritten on upgrade.
SO: There are 3 possibilities to overcome this:
1. Make a back up of your configure.xml after making the change. Put that
file in place after any future upgrades.
2. Make configure.xml read-only. Then it "shouldn't" get over written on
upgrade.
3. Put a copy of the changed configure.xml file in your localsearches
directory. I "think" this will cause it to over-ride the main one in the
searches directory. But I am not sure about this one.
I think the Opera problem is based on the fact that deep down in your
registry... somewhere IE still thinks it is the default. I am not sure
about this since I do not use Opera. Maybe some other Opera user can pipe
in. You might try using the SetBrowser tool to help setting Opera as the
default browser everywhere. You can get SetBrowser here:

Sorry it took so long to get you an answer. Let us know which of these
suggestions help and which do not.
Thanks,
JB
