View Source Editor

View Source Editor ScreenshotRating: 55 Star Rating

Version tested: 1.0

Description: View Source Editor is a tiny program that allows you to change Notepad from being the default editor when using IE’s “view source” function, and to replace it with the editor of your choice.

If you build, work with, program, or design websites then you’ve likely used IE’s “view source” function dozens of times to look at the code that is generating a web page. IE will typically open Notepad as the default text editor when you do this, which in many cases will prompt you to launch your preferred text editor then copy-and-paste the code into it before honing in on what you are looking for or working with the code.

View Source Editor will help you circumvent this unnecessary step. You will likely run this no-install program just once (or every time you decide to switch text editors), point it to your text editor, and be on your way. Its just a small thing but, as they say, the devil is in the detail!

Compatibility: WinAll.

    Nice and handy little tool. Also enabled me to discover the author’s website, and I must say that freegenius.com has the talent of discovering little (and big) gems. I’m taking this opportunity to express a smile of gratitude for your website, which I check every day through your RSS feeds. Every software I have discovered here is that of quality, and that indeed is a quality in itself!

    I love talent and professionalism (and aesthetics), it is a source of liberty!

    All the best from here in France, to freewaregenius.com and to all!
