Double-click on a .dtsx file

Double-click on a .dtsx file results in dtexecui being displayed.

Anyone think it would be more useful if it opened it up in BIDS?

-Jamie

Just in case you've not seen this: you can right-click the .dtsx
file and select Edit command which opens it in BIDS.

We debated the default command on double-click, and
decided it should open dtexecui, like double-click on .cmd
files runs them, while Edit command opens it in Notepad.

Also we think that mostly users will use projects to edit
SSIS packages, thus to open BIDS one'll usually click .dtproj file
anyway, not the .dtsx file.

Thanks,
Michael.

|||Fair points, thanks Michael. I can identify with the cmd analogy actually!
