The defined external editor is invoked when the file is double-clicked in the Files panel.
Because the editors are assigned according to file extension, as opposed to media type, one editor can be
assigned to GIF files and another to JPEGs. The selection is completely customizable.
If you have the same file type both defined to Open In Code View and set up in the editor list,
the file defaults to opening in Code view.
When you double-click a file in the Files panel, that file type??™s primary editor runs. Dreamweaver offers the
capability to define multiple editors for any file extension. You might, for instance, prefer to open certain
JPEGs in Fireworks and others in Photoshop. To choose an alternative editor, right-click (Control+click) the
filename in the Files panel and select the desired program from the Open With menu option. The Open
With option also enables you to browse for a program.
To assign an editor to an existing file type, follow these steps:
1. Select the file type from the Extensions list.
2. Click the Add (+) button above the Editors list. The Add External Editor dialog box opens.
3. Locate the application file of the editor and click Open when you??™re ready. You can also select a
shortcut or alias to the application.
4. If you want to select the editor as the primary editor, click Make Primary while the editor is
highlighted.
