    I'm using Synchronet 3.20 that was built with the latest updates as of yesterday.In my login matrix, I have an option to allow emailing the sysop before the user has logged in. I tried using bbs.select_editor(); to allow the user to select a message editor before emailing the sysop. It works in that the selected editor is used, but after the user selects the editor, it shows a message saying there was an error writing user.tab. If a user has not logged in yet, I don't think it needs to update user.tab.~~~Select External Editor: 1: SlyEdit (Ice style) 2: SlyEdit (DCT style) 3: SlyEdit (Random style) 4: FSEditor 5: DCT Edit 6: SyncEdit 7: YAREdit 8: Pico (Pine Composer)Which, Quit or [1]: 1!ERROR writing user.tabThe sysop has been notified. ~~~

    Adding to this, I'm in the same boat, and Nightfox and I have been discussing it a bit via email.

    Is there, and if not.. can there be a way to specify or force which external editor to use before a user is logged in via internal code? For example:

    bbs.select_editor(SLYEDICE);

    .. or some such? I think I've tried just about anything I could find in the JS object model reference in this kind of way with no luck. I don't consider myself a coder though, so I could but definitely am doing it wrong. ;)

    I saw after I posted, sorry.

    Then again, my question was asking if there was a way to force a specific editor possibly via internal code, rather than letting a user that isn't logged in yet make any actual choices.

    ... It works better if you plug it in.

    Yes:
    user.editor = "SLYEDIT";

    But this will only work if there is a user is logged-in.

    What he was asking if there's a way to set the user's editor to a specific editor before the user has logged on. bbs.select_editor() prompts the user to select one, but Accession just wants to set their editor to a specific editor without prompting them to choose one.

    I can add that support, I think. The preferred way to request features is via gitlab. :-)

    I'm fine with it as it is, but perhaps Accession can request it.

    Thanks for the added support! As for gitlab, I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm guessing you need to have an account and be logged in to see any of that stuff (I didn't see anything in regards to reporting bugs or requesting features)? The only real familiarity I have with git itself is cloning and pulling repos via linux command line.

    Well, that would explain a lot. I wasn't even in the right place! I think I was over at the git repository looking for posts from someone, anyone. Felt like I was yelling at the opening of a tunnel. ;)
