Hi

I've got WSL running fine with a Debian distro, Lilypond working fine, Visual Studio Code doing it's remote thing and Sumatra picking up all the changes in pdf back on the Windows side.

but no point and click.

I tried to hack Aaron Hill's answer from a couple of years ago

https://www.mail-archive.com/lilypond-user@gnu.org/msg129393.html

but no joy (it could be me of course)

Anyone out there got a method for Windows 10 64bit and current VSC/WSL2 etc?

thanks

This is how far I've got:

textedit.reg:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\textedit]
  "URL Protocol"=""
  @="URL:textedit"

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\textedit\shell]

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\textedit\shell\open]

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\textedit\shell\open\command]
  @="C:\\Tools\\textedit\\textedit.cmd %1"

textedit.cmd:
