I'm using SC on a Macbook with parallels. When I try to open notepad I get an editor error message. I can see the path (C:\SierraChart...\notepad++.exe) when I search the path via global settings, but I cannot open it directly. When I try to open it via "Build Adv Custom Studies" I get the MS Visual Studio path in the "Visual C++ Path" window, but this editor does not open either. When I attempt to change the path by selecting "Browse" and then "Folder" I cannot find the notepad editor folder within any of the NPP folders. The only options visible are "autoCOmpletion, localization, plugins (Config, mimeTools, NppConverter, NppExport), themes, and userdefineLangs".

PLease advise. Thx

Go to your Sierra Chart installation folder and then look in the NPP subfolder. Do you see the notepad++.exe file in there?
