Release Notes: 1.14.2

What's New in Release 1.14.2

• Open File in external Applications by niteskum : Brackets now offers support to open file of any arbitary type with external applications. In User Preferences settings, you can associate a file extension to open with the default associated application or open with a specific application.

Usage: For example, Preferences settings for associating svg files to open with Google Chrome and "psd" to open with its default associated application:

"externalApplications": { "svg": "google chrome", "psd": "default" }

The application's name in this settings is OS dependant, for example if you would like to open a file with Chrome you have to use "google chrome" on macOS and "chrome" on Windows in your settings. We use the open npm utility under the hood , and settings that works with this utility will work here.

You may also pass in the app's full path. For example on Windows, this can be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" for the Windows installation of Chrome.

• Automatically associate Graphics file types to its OS default application by niteskum : If an opened project folder has any graphics file of type: ["xd", "jpg", "jpeg", "svg", "ai", "png", "psd"], then with user’s consent Brackets will associate these graphics file types with its OS default associated application and record this under user preference settings under the category “externalApplications”.
