Thanks, Detlev. That makes sense.

I am in the Others tab - working with Zope skin files. Most open in the editor OK - but the *.cpt files, although actually XHTML files, want to open in Kate (my default KDE editor). I don't have too many so it's not a big deal. It always worked fine in Eric3 - I've just recently moved up to 4.
