- When external files are dropped in editor window
- Specifies the action to take when external files are dropped in the EclipseNSIS editor window, e.g., by dragging from Windows Explorer.
The alternatives are to:
- insert them in the script as NSIS commands (e.g., File or WriteRegStr).
- open them in the associated editors.
- ask the user which action to take.
- On startup, check EclipseNSIS editor NSIS file association
- On startup check if NSIS files are associated by default with the EclipseNSIS editor. If it is not, the user is prompted whether to create the association. If the "EclipseNSIS Startup" plugin is activated for startup in the Startup and Shutdown preferences page, then the check is performed upon workbench startup, otherwise it is performed the first time the EclipseNSIS editor is opened.← Back
