Shoot... Jeff below I said If I understand it you should be able to put
something like the following in your localaliases.txt: It should've been
localprefs.js. Sorry.

Subject: RE: [DQSD-Users] Using another editor and browser
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

Subject: [DQSD-Users] Using another editor and browser
Hi All,
I have two quick questions as a new user of this fine search tool.
First, is there a way to open the preferences.js in my own editor rather
than in Notepad.
Second, the default browser option does not seem to be working. I have
launchmode=1; specified in my localprefs.js file and I have restarted
Quick Search, but it still launches IE if no other browser window is
open. If I have Opera open, it will pass the parameters to Opera.
Thanks,
Jeff
