Program options dialog page "Text editor"

This page will only be visible if the advanced setup mode is selected at the bottom of the program options dialog.

On this page you can setup which text editor DFendX should use for opening text files (like DOSBox conf files or ScummVM ini files).

  • Use default editor for file type
    If this option is activated, DFendX will use the editor defined in the registry for opening files.
    (This option is the default value.)
  • If no default editor is registered for given file type use default editor for txt files
    If this checkbox is checked in conjunction with the option above, DFendX will also use the editor defined in the registry for opening files. But if there is no editor defined (for example for prof files) it will use the editor defined for txt files.
    (Default value for this option: on)
  • Always use Notepad
    If this option is activated, text files will always be opened in Windows Notepad.
  • Use custom editor
    By entering the name of a text editor in the input field you can instruct DFendX to always use the given text editor when opening text files.
  • Automatically fix line wrap on openinfg files if needed
    If this option is activated DFendX will check each text file before opening it if the line wraps are in DOS/Windows style and not in Unix style. Text files with Unix style line wraps are shown in some editors (like Notepad) as a single line. Activating this option will fix files automatically id needed so even editor not understanding Unix style text file can handle them.
    (Default value for this option: off)
