[I am filling this as a bug instead of a feature request as it seems to me to an overzealous case of disabling an existing feature.] In the Navigator, I can open one file with a given editor of my choice with right-click/Open With ->/... but I cannot do so when multiple files are selected. In my example I have a bunch of files with different extensions that are selected and I want to open them all in e's text editor. I do not want to just do an "Open" because that will start different editors (XML Spy, IE AND Notepad) due to the way I have e set up right now. Thank you, Gary
Nick and Eclipse people, editor mgmt is a usability major with the product. I'd like this issue bumped up to group level and high priority for product release. My only other comparable issue, in the refactoring area, has already been largely addressed. Regards, Thomas

Bug 146998 looks like a dup of this one.
*** Bug 146998 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
from bug 149668: "currently if i want to open a whole bunch of files with the 'non-default' editor for a file format, i have to click each individually and select open with>editor. if i have 20 files this totals 60 clicks as opposed to a possible 4 if this enhancement was implemented. i would expect this to work when all selected files are of the same file type or editors not registered to the whole range of selected file types were removed from the open with list." This should be for package explorer and navigator. Thanks.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
