I want to disable the event that double left clicking open a ZIP file in the current tab, but everytime I do this, when DOpus close, is back again. I know that disabling the option "Enable zip file management" thiis is also disabled, but I don't want to do that, I just want to when I double left clicking in a ZIP file, open it with the registered program (in my case Winrar).
I also noticed several times that DOpus changes events for ZIP files after I change it.
I just changed the Zip double-click event from "Go" to "Go NEWTAB", then closed & restarted Opus and it still opens zips in a new tab for me.
What are you changing the event to?
I'm leaving it empty, because I don't want to run any but the associated program, but after closed & restarted Opus is reverted to Go.
Some screenshots for better undertanding.
After this, I closed & restarted Opus, and is reverted to Go.
You need to associate the zip-extension in "control panel > default programs" to WinRAR (on Win8 some progs like WinRAR or Opera doesn't associate all filetypes correctly).
Go NEWTAB is just what I want. It works ok for some time and after few days I realize it opens archives in the same tab again.
I will try to reproduce this and tell you if I succeed.
FWIW - it hasn't bothered me because I like Opus to open all archives as folders. And if I want to launch it in my third-party archive app of choice (PowerArchiver) then I just right-click and select Open.
If I delete the ''Left double-click' event for the ZIP file type (which is normally set to run the "go" command)... then this causes a dbl-clicked ZIP file to open in PowerArchiver like I'd expect to see happen. However, if I then exit and restart Opus... Opus RESETS the 'Left double-click' event to run "go".
I thought at one point that Opus would only do this if some of those default events (left dbl-click) were undefined AS WELL AS if the 'Open' action was also undefined or set to open with dopusrt.exe... maybe I'm mis-remembering - but either way, what I've described above seems like undesired behavior.
For me, completely exiting DOpus via Close PROGRAM=confirm, restarting and reinstalling (installing 10.2.0.5 over 10.2.0.5) doesn't change anything. It must be something else.
I answered to peludos initial question, he wants the default prog to open archives on Win 8.
I tested removing "Go" and set to "Go new tab", both settings work (also after restart; latest Beta).
@Peludo: I have WRAR set to middle-dbl-click using %ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe {allfilepath}. Maybe this works as a workaround for left-click instead of leaving it emtpy.
Edit:
There should probably be quotes around that command path:
"%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" {allfilepath}@Peludo: I saw you changed the filetype directly, do you have a filetypeGROUP for archives? I always change the groups, not the filetypes itself.
Yes, I have, in Archives group, also Double Left Clicking is disabled in that group. Also I did what you suggested in Control Panel, but still same problem.
Hmmm, then try using the commandline above in the archives-group as a workaround.
Only of interest, because I always need to change it on each Win8-installation: Which program was set as default in "default programs"?

Edited: I changed to Go NEWTAB and after restart DOpus, there's no revertion. So I believe that is only reverted when you don't use something with the Go command. Please verify.
I suspect you're running into the issue I tried to describe earlier in this thread... and, FWIW - I wouldn't bother making changes to the 'Archives' File Type Group in this particular case since what's happening in the filetype specific setting for the ZIP extension will take precedence over anything in the 'Archives' group. Meaning - unless you can get Opus to stop resetting the specific filetype actions and events, making a change to the filetype 'group' won't achieve anything.
Yes - it certainly seems that under some conditions, anything other than a 'Go' command of some sort will be overwritten every time you exit and restart Opus. Even using another internal Opus command (Properties for example) gets overwritten by 'Go'. Yet, a change to 'Go NEWTAB' will be left alone.
It ALSO seems to me that what I had always intended to be my configuration (dbl-click == go, right-click + Open == open in PowerArchiver) is no longer working... on exit and restart, Opus is even re-setting the 'Open' action back to:
"C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd go "%1" existinglister new...this is on Win7 + Opus 10.2.0.5 and AFTER running 'Open With->Choose Default Program'.
