RE: [WDSCI-L] Default Editor by File Type

[Kelly Cookson <KCookson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there any way to have the source member for a DDS display file open
automatically in Code Designer when double-clicked? 

Thanks,
Kelly

If I remember correctly, it is only hardcoded for iSeries members (which
have the sequence numbers, date area).  I think IFS, local, etc do honour
the settings.

The defaults you set are honored by the iSeries project perspective but not

by the RSE perspective. Seems that RSE uses a different mechanism,
hard-coded (?), to determine the editors to list. Too bad it does not use
the other settings already there.

Someone from the IBM team please correct me if needed.
