Just getting back to this, can confirm it is fixed.

So users of portable versions are suppose to manually associate 209 file formats with XnViewMP? And not make a single mistake about it? And after taking it on a pendrive to another machine repeat the whole process?

However, this fix may have broken SAveAs. I'll create a new bug report but in summary.
