When you have no files open in your editor it is impossible to execute a external program.
For exemple you must chose a random file for execute FILEDIFF from the externals programms.
Can you allow this when there is no files open ?

Re: Allow always Externals programs
The problem is that external programs can be configured to use %file (current file) or %dir (current folder) which don't exist when there is no document open. But I'll add it to suggestions list to make at least the tools that don't take %file or %dir available.
