I know what you mean ;-)

Right.

sensible-editor sounded like a good idea but it doesn't work.
The code that gets executed when pushing the buttons basically does
  $application + "some text" + bibtexkey
That might work for the (running) Led.exe or WinEdt.exe but
calling sensible-editor with some string just opens a new file
$string which is rather useless (at least with my value for $EDITOR).

For the time being I intend to replace the paths with the empty
string; then the user at least gets an error message in the status
bar.

Cheers,
