CCS/MSP430F5529: GUI to view RTOS configuration files (XGCONF using XDCTOOLS in CCS) doesn't work. Files opened in text editor instead

Part Number: MSP430F5529
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-EXP430F5529LP

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Double clicking on an *.cfg configuration file doesn't open the configuration in a GUI as it should. Opens in a text editor instead.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. After a clean install of CCS 7.1.0.00016 on Windows 10 64-bit.

2. Install MSP430 RTOS from the resource center (this automatically installs XDCTOOLS core 3.32.0.6

3. Browse examples to MSP-EXP430F5529LP find TI RTOS empty project with minimal.

4. Attempt to open empty_min.cfg in Gui by double clicking. Opens as text instead.

Do other people have this problem?

    I also installed XDCTOOLS of many different versions separately.

    Brad,

    With the latest XDC Tools the text editor is the default editor. Even if you switch XDC Tools afterwards it will still leave the text editor as the default.

    If you wish to open the GUI editor you can right click on the .cfg file in your project. Select Open With -> XGCONF

    That will open the GUI editor and should remember your preference for the next time you open.

    Regards,
    John
