SVN File Editors

Each type of file is associated with an editor which opens files of that type for editing. The editor can be the built-in one specially provided for the file type (for example the internal XML editor, the internal XSLT editor, the internal XSL-FO editor, etc) or an external application installed on the computer, either the default system application associated with that file type in the operating system or other particular application specified by the path to its executable file. The list of all the associations file type - editor is displayed in the panel SVN File Editors.

The Edit button under the table or a double click on a table row opens a dialog for specifying the editor associated with the file type. In this dialog three options are offered: system default application for the external application associated by default in the operating system with the specified file extension, a particular external application specified by the path to its executable file and the complete list of built-in editors.
