can't set file associations

[Mr Zombie]

Hi!
Setting the file associations under options doesn't work. The files won't be opened with XnView when I double click them.
I am using Win7 64bit. Running XnView as admin didn't help.

Do you running XnView with context menu "Execute as admin"??

[Mr Zombie]

to be precise: I run it with context menu "Run as administrator"

[xnview]

to be precise: I run it with context menu "Run as administrator"

Which association do you try to set?

[Mr Zombie]

I've tried jpg and png. Neither of them work. But XnView seems to remember which file types I have checkt after a restart.

I use ini file by the way.

If you go in XnView, pnb&jpg are checked?

[Mr Zombie]

Which software is opened?

[Mr Zombie]

IrfanView.

[xnview]

Ok, right, if an application create a 'UserChoice' key, XnView can't override it... I'll fix

[Mr Zombie]

thank you, looking forward to it.

Hi, I've same association problem :

xnview doesn't open anymore when I lauch a .jpg file for sample.
When I go to Options Associations, "jpg" is already checked ; I uncheck then check again => it generates an error window "ERR5, msg1, OK".

But nothing changes.
I'm under Win 7 64bit, with a 6 months old version of xnview that I updated for the occasion (1.98.8_ )
Is it the same issue that you've plan to fix?

Hi, I've same association problem :

You have the 1.98.8 and option/associations doesn't work???

I'm having exactly the same problem, also in Win7 64 bit. I've tried running as admin and it doesn't help. XnView is also not an option in the Open With menu for image files.
