LIST edit not invoking my specified editor

[Phileosophos]

I've set my preferred editor for the LIST command (on the "Windows" tab of the TCC options dialog) to Notepad++, the default path to which on my system is:

C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe​

When I use LIST to view the contents of a file, however, and press the hotkey to edit ('e'), the file is opened in Notepad. The setting seems completely ignored. Is this a bug?

Nevermind. I fixed my own problem. For the record, I was foolishly assuming TakeCommand would escape the path with quotes if needed. Once I made sure the path was escaped with quotes for Notepad++, that's what LIST launches. I hope that helps somebody else!

I have this (below) and I get Notepad. Quoting it doesn't help.

v:\> option editor
editor=L:\TextPad5\TextPad.exe

I think I get it. It's only used if there's no "edit" association.

Correct. Let me quote the docs for you:

Editor : The pathname of the editing program to run from LIST if there is no Windows "edit" association for the extension. (The default is NOTEPAD.EXE.)
