Bug Description
Hello,
I am referring to this page in the Windows Documentation for bzr-explorer:
http://
as you can see in the screenshot, the example for the "Editor" text field is someone typing in 'gvim' into the editor field
But, this is a very linux-y thing to do, and I am pretty sure you cannot do this in windows. For example, I wanted to set my editor to be Notepad++.exe. I was looking through the documentation on how to do this and came across this, but when i just typed the name of the executable file, bzr threw an error , as shown in the following screenshot:
http://
instead, on Windows, one has to type the full path of the executable in order for bazaar to find the exe file to use as the editor.
So, the point of this bug, the documentation page section that I linked above should have it's screenshot change to this: (I already took another screenshot to reflect what it should be like)
http://
and also, a line in the description of that screenshot (the text below it) should be changed to :
"Configuring your name and email address is important when using a distributed version control system (DVCS) like Bazaar. Here, you can enter your name and email address. If you wish to use an editor other than WordPad, you can enter the path to the executable of the editor you wish to use. For example, for Notepad, enter (in fixed width font) 'C:\Windows\
I would suggest the presence of a "Browse" button next to it in order to make it easier for someone to find the executable rather then typing out the full path, but at least changing the documentation is a start

Recent versions of QBzr already has Browse button. The screenshot is out of date.
