<p>Andybak: </p> <hr /> <div>Really nice work, Tim, thanks! I've been through and I'm trying it out. [[User:Martin Dougiamas|Martin Dougiamas]] 09:05, 5 September 2006 (CDT)<br /> <br /> The stuff about changing editors under General -&gt; Editors -&gt; File Associations doesn't work any more if an Eclipse plugin has 'locked' a file type or content type. Not sure how to fix this<br /> --[[User:Andy Baker|Andy Baker]] 06:40, 28 November 2006 (CST)</div>
