I can’t open the Python text editor when I hit CTRL-E while my cursor is active in a number parameter box in an OP. I get Warning text box that says: “You may already be editing C:/Users/…/touchtemp/sine1_parm_numcycles_td_43932_45.py. Kill file and restart?”
Y/N
Hitting Yes throws an Error text box that says: "Couldn’t create temp file “” "
My parameter box (numcycles) is populated with “me.digits+2”, the OP is a Pattern CHOP set to sine wave. I have tried running TD as an administrator.
Encountered this before and after specifying a custom text editor.
TD build is latest 2017.14220. Same issue yesterday using the very previous build. Windows 10 Professional, pretty new laptop, i7, 32 gigs, Nvidia. Non-commercial license of TD.
I did that, didn’t change anything, thanks, though. It was finding the temp dir before and still is now that I’ve changed it. I think a clue might be that it is trying to create a temp file with no name.

Also, why does it think I’m already editing the python file?
Python is the default scripting language in Touch, and unless you specify a different option on the common page of your DAT it’ll assume you’re writing python when launching your external editor.
