Description Gary Gregory CLA 2003-06-26 14:14:54 EDT 
In Window/Preferences/Workbench/File Associations/Associated Editors/Add...
dialog, you cannot specify which directory the application must start in. This
is quite important for some apps. 

Workaround: In eclipse, none. I use the command line and cd to the proper dir,
start the app from there.

V.3.0.m1.

Thank you for considering this request.

MVM - Don't know if this is more a Core issue than a UI issue.  Please 
redirect if necessary.

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.
