Files opening in external editor.

I have a project with python,HTML, and javascript files. The
python and HTML
files open correctly in eric4, but when I click on a
javascript file, it is
opened in an external editor. Is there a simple way to fix
this?

Thank you,

J. David Lee

Which eric4 version are you using? What is the mime type of
javascript files? 
(It should start with text/...)

Detlev,

Thank you for your reply. I'm using eric 4.1.1(r1972), which
is the version in
the Ubuntu repositories. I don't understand what you mean by
mime type in this
context, the files are ascii text, on my local machine with
a .js extension.
Under "Project" -> "Filetype
Associations" I've set "*.js" as
"sources".

Some of the files, when double clicked in the
project-viewer, don't open at all,
and some open in an external editor. It looks like only
those files that start
with a c-style comment are opened.

Thank you,

J. David Lee

Check the file "/etc/mime.types" for the extension
"js". If the associated 
mime type entry doesn't look like "text/x-js"
(i.e. start with text), that is 
causing the problem. However, the behavior has been changed
in eric 4.2 
snapshot.
