Editing files across partitions
Posted: Mon Mar 18, 2013 8:53 pm
BootIt BM's existing functionality gets me "really close", but ultimately unable to achieve this:
I can edit any file on a partition, but I cannot open a file from one partition and "Save As" to a different partition. Nor does the cut-n-paste buffer persist in a manner that lets me cut text while editing a file in one partition and paste while editing a file in another parition.
So that's just an idea I'm wanting to pass along: Maybe the text cut-n-paste buffer could persist between instances of the editor, which would be useful in a several situations for making basic configuration changes that I've already done in another partition. Or (and?) since BootIt BM does already support "Edit File" and "Save As" on nearly any partition, maybe the Save As dialog could permit optionally targeting a different supported partition in addition to a different directory and file name.
