Hi Don,

When you use Project/SaveAs or Save, the generated exw is not created at that
time. A followup with F5 or F6 is needed. Once you have SaveAs the project name,
F5 used later (and used multiple times after changing something in IDE either
with Design or Code Editor) saves the project and also generates the exw.

If you generate the exw via F5, and a project name exists, then that is your
view of the code you just created. If you have not created a project name yet,
then F5 or F6 will create a temporary name for the exw. Unfortunately Launch
doesn't deal with the temporary name. If you didn't use F5 or F6 at all then
there isn't a generated exw.

Lets assume you had saved the project name and then pressed F5, then would
Launch of edita have achieved what you wanted? If so maybe I can change Launch to
work with the temporary exw name (if you pressed F6 or didn't press either F5 or
F6.)

The important fact to consider is that none of the changes you make in the
external editor are known to IDE for the next time you use IDE to modify your
exw.

What kind of changes do you need to do in the exw with an external editor?
Perhaps it is something I can build directly into IDE.
