jEdit Community - Resources for users of the jEdit Text Editor
File Associations, under Windows
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 2 April, 2004 - 06:01
Hey - I use jEdit as my primary editor (I'm a recent convert), and I love it to bits. There hasn't been a single feature that I've needed that I couldn't find in the core application or in a plugin, and it runs remarkably well, for a Java program.

I've been wondering if there's any way to make jEdit the default application for opening a whole bunch of file types, on my Windows machine, without having to do it manually or write a program for it - having to do it one file type at a time would become painfully tedious.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Smiling

Really, it is. Smiling At least on NT based versions.

For each extension that you'd like to associate with jEdit use:
ASSOC .ext=jEdit

then to have jEdit open the file give this command once:
FTYPE jEdit="path to jEdit.exe" "%1" %*

This is rather brute force -- if you have separate icons for your filetypes they may all become the little jEdit icon once you do this, but you can change them back with through the GUI.

Why has this not been answered? Is it really not possible?
 
Not sure...

..... but I think you have to do it one at a time.
