New function within Automation Manager: Editor for “Custom Code”, “Function Libraries” and “Scripts”

It is now possible to edit the source code within the Automation Manager “Custom Code”, “Function Library” and “Scripts” using default editor set for respective file extensions. As ordinary Notepad is unable to check syntax of written source code, it is suggested to use an advanced text editor that is able to detect possible syntax failures.

As Custom Code and Function Libraries need to be written in AutoIT scripting language (*.au3 extension), recommended default editor is SciTE. On the other hand, as Automation Manager Scripts may be written in multiple different languages like Powershell (*.ps1), Perl (*.pl) or Batch (*.bat), it is suggested to define most suitable editor for these extensions (e.g. Powershell ISE for *.ps1 extension).
