Maybe, but only if you're using wordpad as your default editor for bzr.
You can specify any other editor using bzr qconfig command (or in bzr-explorer run Settings ->
Configuration -> User Configuration).

But then problem occurs if your editor of choice has spaces in the path (so you need to quote the
path) and *all* backslashes in path sould be converted to slashes (e.g. instead of "C:\Program
Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" you have to use "C:/Program Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe").

+1 for using qviewer for this. It helps avoiding many windows-specific problems with %(EDITOR)s.

Ian, do you agree for this change? E.g.:
