1) Error:
I want to use INI configuration file so I renamed F4MiniMenu-64.exe to F4MiniMenu-64i.exe
After start this file I've got proper (for the first sight) INI file. I started to fill Editors, click OK,
looks like I proper saved all. And decided to relaunch this script from corresponding cont.menu
item in order to make sure that all editors will be applied correctly for proper file extensions..
And I got this:

I tried again and again - no luck. I tried to open Settings - the same.
After kill process - restart main process (F4MiniMenu-64i.exe) - looks like my problem is gone.
2) Error
When I tried to edit one record among editors after I click Modify button I've got this:

+ suggestion - IMHO double click on any records definitely by default should open this record in Modify'ing window.
3) Bug?
Element "Window" with options 1/2/3(Normal/Maximized/Minimized) looks like not always work?
https://github.com/microsoft/XmlNotepad
tried to call this tool with option 2 for editing of XML files and always just got a window in the standard size.
4)There is one question/suggestion.
Now the notion of a default editor is quite blurry - sort of like it's just "the first one in the list among others".
BUT I would like to see more detail on its role and purpose very much.
So, the point is that selecting a default editor and calling it for files should always be distinguishable from using other editors.
Namely, its assignment must be done in a separate settings GUI-item. And when specifying it, it should not require selecting the extensions for which it should be called at all! Because it's our fail-safe editor! Whereas for all other editors, assignment/binding to a specific file extension should be an important and mandatory item!
That is why its setup should be performed directly in the utility "Settings" window, and in the "Configure editors" window - it is necessary only to create a chain of dependencies "extension(-s) => editor".
5) Another suggestion.
In the menu of editors (full or filtered - it does not matter) - should not show right away their names (even if I can set these names myself) - but showing the correlation "extension -> editor". Therefore, a more important and visible representation of this menu should be: List extensions alphabetically as main menu items. And when you expand these items - there is a display/selection of the editors assigned to the extension in the form of additional sub-items. YES, it may happen that we actually see editor X more than once - for several extensions (in different menu sub-items). But that's okay in this case.
When we look through all the Editors options or want to add a new editor, it is important for us to understand for which extensions we ALREADY have an entry, isn't it? After all, you may want to open the same simple VBS file, either notepad.exe or very-special-tool.exe. And to see in the general menu just the entries of the available editors in the form:
notepad.exe
very-special-tool.exe
does not add insight into of which files they are intended to open.
6) Suggestions. What about LANGuage pack? Definitely such wonderful tool should be able to communicate with users on their mother-language:)
7) Suggestion: Update all screenshots on github))
