Maybe I'm missing something then - or maybe we're talking about different things. :) What I'm really referring to is the file associations windows allows you to have and that cause a specific program to be invoked when you double-click on a file icon. I do have one for .ly files; having to manually set an environment variable seems counter-intuitive, especially for less technically-inclined users who want things to "just work". I think Lilypond should just look up the relevant association and launch the specified program. > > Most people hate Notepad and install something better. :) > > There is a function called find_editor that tries to find a better > editor and associate that, but there were all kinds of problems with it. > Patches appreciated. -- schnee _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
