Ok, the problem was that your temporary file is using Unix line endings, not Windows ones.

I've uploaded v1.3 and rewrote the first post because:

01. The .xys file is now responsible for creating the .ini file (before it was the .exe)
02. All entries in the .ini file support relative paths (Tool, Editor, Temp), the belonging root is <xypath>
03. The .exe now converts Unix line endings to Windows ones internally which should make VIM work as well
04. It tries to delete the temporary file that contains the item names now but there is no guarantee that it won't fail (e.g. Sublime Text likes to put a lock on it)

Beware that you can't use your old .ini file (which should be in the same location as the .exe) and you need to delete it before using the new v1.3 version!

Awesome, that did the trick! I remember having that issue with something else, but I can't remember what it was. A python script or something.

Also, thanks for the improvements! They work great for making the whole thing portable! Pretty good skill flex right there :maf:
