Muneeza, I’m not sure what is wrong. Did you modify the ODBEditors.plist file exactly as stated above? Does TextEdit exist in your Applications folder?

I get this error message still. What did I do wrong?

Error
Couldn’t find TextEdit to launch index.html.

Thank you for this information about Fugu’s external text editor. It was just what I needed.

Instead of a nice image of the text that should be included, how about using a Textbox so that all we need to do is copy and paste the text into ODBEditors.plist ?

Thanks for the hint Jessie! You can also change the order they appear, so your favourite editors appear at the top of the list - personally, I'd have TextEdit, Bluefish and vi as my top 3. This doesn't matter so much, but it's worth a mention: A fully correct TextEdit entry looks like this: ODBEditorBundleID com.apple.TextEdit ODBEditorCreatorCode ttxt ODBEditorLaunchStyle 0 ODBEditorName TextEdit If you're not sure of an app's creator code, just Google it! :-)

Hey jvence,

Looks like you have too many “//” in your “/Aplications//TextEdit.app” string. Remove the duplicate / and you should be good. You probably mistyped it while you were editing the ODBEditors.plist file.

This is great but I’m getting permission error:
