1.88 Typo in Registry Setting

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\""

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!

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