Local files of different types should be opened in the windows default editor

When opening files within EWM Eclipse, the different types of files should be opened in a local application, or windows default application, instead of opening some of them in the internal viewer. Or at least, the tool should give you this option.

 

For now the "Open Local File" does the following: 

TXT: file is ONLY opened in internal editor window and can be saved from there to local file

PDF: file is opened in internal editor window + opens in PDF external editor tool installed on PC. After it's modified in external editor, saved and closed, there is the question to save the changes to the local file when the file in internal editor is closed. If this is accepted, the local file is updated.

XLSX, DOCX, PPTX: file seems to be somehow opened in internal editor window (but not displayed) + opens in PDF external editor tool installed on PC. After it's modified in external editor, saved and closed, the changes are lost. The not visible file in the internal editor needs to be closed as well. Opening and closing takes very very long.

MMAP: file is ONLY opened in external editor installed on PC (XMind8). Changes can be done and but asks in save as dialogue for the location to save it -> not helpful as local file path would need to be searched each time new.

PNG: file is ONLY opened in internal viewer.

    EWM Ideas review board has evaluated this request. This request is being rejected because this request is subject is out of our control of IBM Engineering as opening files from Eclipse is controlled solely by Eclipse.
