On 1.12 this was possible. Maybe try to launch it with commands?

wesnoth --editor

Sorry, I'm not familiar with commands...

[josteph]

How do you normally launch wesnoth? What platform are you on (Windows/Mac/Linux? Steam?)?

[Retributive]

Windows 10...

On Windows you can copy and edit the program shortcut. In the Start menu, right-click "Battle for Wesnoth" and select "Open file location".

This will display a folder listing.

Right-click "Battle for Wesnoth" and select "Copy". Then right-click on your desktop and select "Paste shortcut". Now right-click the new shortcut and select "Properties". Finally, in the "Target" field add a space and then --editor. Click OK.

Now if you double-click the shortcut, it should launch the editor.

Very detailed explanation, gnombat Can we add gnombat's post to one of the stickies? It's a pretty frequent question, albeit with a different argument each time.

Did you have one in mind?

No, I didn't have a particular one in mind. Not sure where it would fit, either. I'd just like to be able to find that post again easily when I ask someone to "Run wesnoth with --log-debug=ui" or whatever other flag.
