Windows context menu "send to" EditPlus has wrong path from ClearCase Explorer


I installed EditPlus 5.5 (evaluation version) on Windows 10 (64 bit).

About EditPlus

During the installation I selected the option of adding EditPlus to the send to item of the Windows context menu.

The send to opens a file in EditPlus from File Explorer.

But I get an error when I do it from ClearCase Explorer

This is the error.
(Note that there is no C:\Program Files (x86)\EditPlus folder. It doesn't exist.)

What do I need to do in order to send a file from ClearCase Explorer to EditPlus?


Solution

  • It is possible the ClearCase Explorer customization does not cope well with paths including spaces in them.

    For testing:

    • uninstall EditPlus
    • install it again, in a path without spaces.

    Try then the Send To / EditPlus from the ClearCase Explorer, and see if the issue persits.
