1.88 Typo in Registry Setting

[jbusnengo]

Double-clicking on a .sld file does not open XnView. Upon investigation, I discovered that there's a typo in the registry setting that needs to be fixed.
XnView creates the registry entry Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XnViewMP.sld\shell\open\command\(default) with the following string:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\XnViewMP\xnviewmp.exe" "-slide "%1"

Because of a missing quotation mark, this does not work. Correcting the string to this:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\XnViewMP\xnviewmp.exe" "-slide" "%1"

fixes the problem.

yep, but it's not a quote mark, it's a space in the wrong place

current 188

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XnViewMP.sld\shell\open\command]
@="\"D:\\PROG\\portable\\graphic\\XnViewMP\\xnviewmp.exe\" \"-slide \"\"%1\""

fixed

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XnViewMP.sld\shell\open\command]
@="\"D:\\PROG\\portable\\graphic\\XnViewMP\\xnviewmp.exe\" \"-slide\" \"%1\""

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

Thanks!

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.9.0. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

fixed in 190

I'm still having the same issue. Each time I update XnView MP, the registry setting gets reset to include the typo. It happened with 1.9.0 and 1.9.1. Do I need to completely remove XnView MP and reinstall fresh rather than updating my existing installation? Thanks!

yeah, looks like issue is not fixed in installer

Do I need to completely remove XnView MP and reinstall fresh rather than updating my existing installation?

press 'Set file associations...' button in Settings > Integration

Ah. I wasn't aware of that button. That does appear to work.
