Can't choose external editor...followed help topics..advice?

Hello everyone,

I have downloaded and installed CyberDuck last night and everything works well except I'm unable to select an external editor. (I use Text Wrangler). All of the external editors in the list are greyed out.

I followed the help here...

"I can't select any external editor.
Install one of the supported editors and launch it first. Also relaunch Cyberduck if the editor is still not selectable. If that still doesn't work out, please refer to this article."

I have tried this, it didn't work. So, I went to the article referenced...

How to rebuild the LaunchServices
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php? ... 5144430486

This article starts with this statement..."If your "Open With" menu shows applications that are no longer installed, or shows some of them as duplicates, you can use the following Terminal command to rebuild your LaunchServices database:"

Well, my problem seems to be different...it's listed, not duplicated, but it is greyed out.

This was installed on Mac G4 Dual 1GB running OSX 10.3.9

Can anyone help me with a fix so I can edit from CyberDuck using TextWrangler?

Any advice is greatly appreciated:)

Thanks,

Adam

Hey, it seems to have fixed when I opened my texteditor while cyberduck was open. The 'edit document with text editor' icon suddenly lit up. Working fine now. :)
