All, I can open any text file on my G: cloud drive in Notepad by double-clicking on the file, OR selecting the file (single-click) and selecting File > Open. Same for Word, Excel, Acrobat, etc. Launching te JQt editor, going to G:, navigating to the J code folder, and double clicking on the .ijs file doesn't work.
*However*, if I navigate to the J folder on G:, highlight the file I want to load, then click File > Open in the JQt editor window rather than double-clicking on the file icon, this gets me ANOTHER navigation window. That window shows me the same .ijs file list as before, but this is the regular Windows explorer window rather than the JQt navigation pane. If i double-click on the .ijs file in that Explorer window, OR just highlight the file and click File > Open in the Explorer window, the .ijs file loads! So it looks like the problem is in the protocol used by the JQt file selection process in the nav sidebar of the JQt editor. It doesn't do the same thing that the Explorer navigation window does to open files.
