Some file association dont work in DOpos

Help & Support
1

Hi,

I've a problem with some file associations:
If I double-click a file in the windows explorer the file gets openend in the correct program.
If I double-click the same file in DOpus an "Open with" dialog is shown with the associated programm as recommended one.

I'm using Windows 7 SP1 x64 and DOpus Pro 10.5.1.0.

Thank you
Chris

Which file associations? i.e. Which file type(s) and program(s) involved?

E.g. .ppt and .pptx registered by SoftMaker Presentations 2012 (Part of SoftMaker Office 2012).

Here a screenshot from the file associations dialog:

I attached a partitial registry dump from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - maybe its useful.

With regards
Chris

If you right-click a ppt file and use the Open With menu to select SoftMaker, does that launch it okay?

If it does, try using Open With again, and the option to set the default program. That'll normally work, if the Open With menu works at least.

Yes, both worked as as expected. DOpus seems to store the default program after the setting the default program.
DOpus opens the file on double-click, if I use shift+right-click in windows explorer to manually set the default program, too.

With the manual selection the following registry entry is created:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.ppt\UserChoice] "Progid"="SoftMaker Presentations"
If I delete this entry the behaviour is the same as before the selection (Explorer: Dbl-Click opens, DOpus: Dbl-Click shows open with).
