Hello,

I tried to use Notepad++ instead of Notepad for script editing, but I could't manage to make it work correctly. Some help would be greatly appreciated

I edited my houdini.env file and added an entry like this:
EDITOR = CPROGRA~1/Notepad++/notepad++.exe

This works, I can open and edit a script in notepad++ when I press Alt + 0 in the Edit Expression window, but modifications are not taken in account.
According to this thread, it would require that the editor works under the current houdini process (the ‘nofork’ parameter in the thread):

Do you know how I have to set the EDITOR env param so that the given editor works?

Thank you,
