Enable editing of auxiliary project files in the IDE editor by default

[RobertoBozzolo]

A file other than standard type can be added to the project at any time. However, if a text file is clicked in the project tree that is not a source or include the external editor opens by default (notepad or so); to have these file opened in a IDE editor window you need to right-click on it and choose "Edit" ("Open" option is the default one and is bolded).

I'd like to have an option added to Envirnoment settings to enable automatic editing of project text files in a IDE editor window.

Hi, I just realized reading workspace description in the help that I can open non-standard (text) files by double-clicking the icon next to the file name 🙂 . I have checked on my machines and this option is valid at least from CVI2009 on (cannot test on older versions).

What a pity nobody replied to this post till now evidencing this feature! 😰

Given this, this 8-years-old suggestion can directly switch from "new" to "already implemented"! 😉
