    In SCFG, if you change the internal code of a message editor, SCFG seems to blank out the external editor configuration of users who were using that (user.editor in JS). Would it be able to change their external editor internal code to the new internal code instead?

    What you're describing is by design. Internal codes aren't normally changed after the item is created/configured.

    You're suggesting that if someone edits their xtrn.ini file (either by hand or via SCFG) changing an editor's internal code (why would they do that?), that something then goes through the userbase and changes all user records that had the old internal code (how would it know what the old code was?) to the new one?

    How about SCFG just displays a warning when the sysop changes an editor's internal code?

    Not necessarily by hand (I don't know how users' editor internal codes would be updated in that case).

    Normally I agree there wouldn't be a good reason to do this. I ran into this because I saw that the internal codes I was using for SlyEdit were not the same as what were being used in the stock xtrn.ini, so I changed mine to match. I then saw that I didn't have an external editor configured anymore, so I thought it may have been a bug.

    Also, since it was able to blank out my internal editor code, I thought it may know that I was using SlyEdit - so I thought it might remember the old internal code..

    I suppose this issue can be closed.
