Does anyone know how to either add back in the EditorConfig Designer as a program to open files with or how to reset the default editors for file types?
After changing the default editor for .editorconfig files to be something other than the EditorConfig Designer the option to set the default editor back to the designer or to open with the designer is now gone.
I know I can probably delete my appdata folder or something like that and reset it that way, I'm looking for a way to do it that doesn't take doing that. I did a quick search in some of the xml files visual studio uses but realized it would take some time to figure out exactly what to do to add it back in myself, thus I'm asking with hopes someone has experience doing this.
One work around I have found is to set the files to open with a text editor with text encoding then hit cancel when it asks which encoding to use. It then opens the designer but it still won't show up as an option to set as the default or in the open with items, which is what I want.
As of now there is no way to manually add the EditorConfig Designer back into the list editors. You can still use the designer by following these steps:
- set the files to open with "text editor with text encoding"
- double click on a .editorconfig file to open it
- hit cancel when it asks which encoding to use
- the EditorConfig Designer will open for the selected file.
