RE: [TSVN] Problem opening files

I can add one to this: I can not open the subversion configuration file. I
have installed TextPad as default text editor and associated the .txt file
type to TextPad. When I click on the Edit button in the TSVN Settings-->Main
dialog, an error message about non-existant files appears.

I have now looked with a process explorer and found that the editor was
started with the text filename in double-double quotation marks:

  "c:\Programme\Textpad\textpad.exe" -s ""path to app data with
blanks\subversion\config""

Does TSVN add an extra set of quitation marks to the file name? Is it
TextPad's fault?
This might as well explain some of the other people's problems with not
beeing able to open text files. I guess there are some more editors that
register themselves in the registry with an

   "c:\programme\editor\some_editor.exe" "%1" <-- quoted %1

entry in the text file association.
