Have a user-definable 'Open With...' in the items view
Most of my files are text files, although they have various file extensions (sql, txt, src, srd, etc). Each time I right-click to open it, I have to go to Open With... and select my text editor. It would be nice to be able to define a default 'open with' application.

If you have a script, you want to run it in windows but edit it in Plastic. That's why you need to be able to override the default system behaviour.

What I miss too is the possibility to drag the file and drop it to an editor to open it. That would do the job for me at least partially.

I don't know Tom's opinion, but for me, it would be great to have more options. Sometimes I want to use different editor than the default one. For example, there is one program, which I use as a viewer/browser (Windows Photo Viewer) and another one for editing (Photoshop). Or I want to see a binary file in an Hex editor...

Tom, please, can you answer my previous question? Isn't the built-in system to open files in the system enough?

"Open" (double click) uses the system's open functionality. If you setup your windows to open the file correctly, Plastic GUI will do it too.
