By default vsmStudio uses the standard Notepad editor when you open the Active Log and Secondary Log file directly out of the application.


While the default log viewer is notepad, it is possible to define and link another, preferred Text Editor to open Log files out of vsmStudio. To do so, navigate to Windows registry path: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\VirtualStudioManager\vsmStudio\Settings and locate to String: log file viewer

Modify the log file viewer data by adding the full path to your preferred text editor's executable file, according to the local install location. After restart of vsmStudio, logfiles will be opened accordingly with the linked text editor. 

In this example we used Notepad++, which is also our preferred and recommended log file viewer.


This feature is available from vsmStudio version B2348 onwards.
