Comment 3 for bug 429911

Good point ;-)

Actually the editor was not configured (the field was left blank).
This also had the effect that clicking "Settings,Locations" or "Settings,Credentials" produced the same error.
As soon as I entered e.g. Notepad.exe as the editor, the problem disappeared.
May I suggest that you as default open e.g. Notepad, should the user have forgotten to configure an editor?

BTW I think bzr explorer is a great app :-)

Best regards

Poul Anker Ersly
