RE: Re: difference between LaunchViewer and LaunchEditor?

Done now. Works as expected here. Graph integration still needs some 
polishing work: The current shortcuts are inconsistent and the new items 
for opening are still missing.

I also really think the special handling of extension-less files for the 
"open" action can be scrapped now that double-click uses "edit"/default 
editor. The whole point of the special handling was to be able to 
double-click to view in the default editor, wasn't it (for 
non-Windows-users: special handling was necessary because, as the whole 
file-type-association mechanism is based on file name extensions, 
extension-less files could not be persistently associated, therefore in 
the old scheme, "open"ing extension-less files would always either fail 
or trigger the OS' "Open with..." dialog)?

On hind sight I don't think it's that bad anymore. Alternatively, what 
about PerformShellAction or ShellActOn?

D'Oh! As I wrote, I was working against the WINCVS13b15 tag so I didn't 
see your changes yet... Any ideas on approaching this? Should the 
ShellAction function move back to CvsCommands or where else? Probably 
the result of it should be cast to UINT right away in that case. 
Thinking about it, it doesn't make any sense returning a HINSTANCE even 
for the Windows-only implementation (the docs say it's only of that type 
for backward-compatibility reasons - it's never an actual instance 
handle at all).

What kind of return would you get from the *ix/Mac-equivalent of 
ShellAction? Is there an equivalent at all? Put differently: Is there a 
standard OS-level mechanism to distiguish between different ways to act 
on files/folders, specifically between editing and viewing them (there 
has to be, hasn't it - they probably don't say MS hasn't ever come up 
with anything original for nothing, don't they? ;) ).

Cheers,

Oliver
