You can specify the application to use when viewing and editing specific file types. View and edit settings associate file extensions with the built-in Surround SCM file viewer and editor, the application associated with the file extensions in the operating system, or an application you prefer to work in.
If you do not set a viewer or editor for a file type, the application selected in the default setting ('All other files') is used. Following are the default viewer and editor settings for each file type.
| File type | Default viewer setting | Default editor setting |
|---|---|---|
| Binary files | Application associated with the file type in the operating system | Application associated with the file type in the operating system |
| Image files | Built-in file viewer | Application associated with the file type in the operating system |
| Text files | Built-in file viewer | Built-in file editor |
Note: User options apply only to the current user account logged in to the computer. Some user options may be disabled, which indicates they are set on the server and cannot be changed.
1. Choose Tools > User Options then select the View/Edit File category.
2. Click Add.
The View/Edit Settings dialog box opens.
3. Enter the File extensions to associate with the application. Separate multiple extensions with a semicolon.
4. Select View or Edit from the View/Edit list to specify the action the settings apply to.
5. Select how to open the files.
6. Click OK to save the changes.
Tip: Make sure you add both view and edit settings for an application. For example, if you add view settings to use Notepad for .txt and .css files, also add an edit setting for Notepad with the same file extensions. This ensures you use the same application to view and edit files of the same type.
