Thank you for the wonderful Firebug tool. I have a question about how to use 'Open Editor' to debug javascript in the 'Script' tab. I've configured Firebug to open my favorite text editor via the 'Open Editor' menu (View->Open With Editor- >Configured Editors') but now I need to figure out how to pass the line number to my editor. There's a field in the configuration dialog for launch arguments but I don't know how to set these in conjunction with whatever arguments Firebug can pass. Let's say my editor expects to be invoked as: myeditor.exe -n linenumber filename, is there a way configure the launch arguments to do this, i.e. are there placeholders for filename and line number perhaps? What arguments does Firebug pass to the editor and in what order? If Firebug passes 'filepath linenumber', I could configure it to invoke a script that expects the line number as the second parameter and then calls my favorite editor using its expected argument syntax. Hopefully Firebug will invoke a .bat file and not just an .exe file (haven't tried this yet)? I need to do this anyway since I need to post-process the file name of the javascript file and change the path to not be in \temp (my Javascript files are not local, they are served by a servlet so right now when I 'open with editor' it gives me a copy of the file in C:\temp). Today, after debugging a problem in Firebug, I have to manually find and open the specific JavaScript file in my source code control tree view and manually go to the specific line when I want to make and save a fix, and it would be very nice to streamline these steps. I know I'd still need to reload the page or perhaps restart Firefox after saving the fix but I always do that anyway.
In short, I'd like to know what arguments Firebug is passing to the editor when you 'Open With Editor'. I really hope it includes the line number. It would be nice if the 'Open With Editor' option were included in the context menu if you right click on a line of code in the Script panel. (BTW, I'm using Firefox 2, out of necessity on my project, and Firebug 1.2.1). This quick and easy 'go to line X in my source file' feature would help anyone like me who is developing and debugging a web app (as opposed to local JS files), and needs to be able to quickly edit the source wherever it may be and using the user's favorite IDE. If anyone can help, please post to this forum since I don't check the Google email account frequently.
