Edit file options allow you to configure the editor to use when you select Tools | Edit File to launch the specified text editor so that you can edit the currently active source file that is opened within BugSeeker.
Application
Enter the full path name to the text editor you wish to use when you invoke the Edit File command. Pressing the Browse button icon next to the text field will bring up an application file chooser that will allow you to navigate to your desired text editor's executable program and to select it.
You need to ensure that you enter the correct path to the text editor application you wish to use, otherwise when Edit File command is invoked, BugSeeker will be unable to launch the editor application. Furthermore, you should not specify console-based text editors but rather use only GUI-base text editors as BugSeeker has problems launching console-based editors on some platforms.
Arguments
If you need to pass any command-line arguments to your text editor application you can enter them in this text field. Special symbols $FILE and $LINE may also be entered here. $FILE will be substituted by BugSeeker with the full path name of the file to be edited. $LINE will be substituted with the current line number of the where BugSeeker's text cursor/caret in source viewer is located which is useful if you editor supports jumping to a specific line when a file is opened.
Lines are numbered from zero
BugSeeker numbers lines starting from one. If you text editor number lines starting from zero, check this option so that $LINE substitution argument variable will be also numbered from zero instead of from one.
