Having problem when opening photo in XYplorer.

Post by densjc »

I meet a problem when using XYplorer. Each time I open a photo in XYplorer, it always asks me to confirm the app to use although I tick "Always use this app to open photo files". Please guide me to solve this error.

Is there really no other solution to this other than the link provided to that other post?

I don't want custom file associations. I want by default XYPlorer to simply open files with the system wide associations that windows has already setup just like occur when I try to open the same file in Windows Explorer - the way it always used to.

There is something wrong with my configuration, I can't believe what I'm experiencing is meant to be the default way of working. And yet I never actively changed a configuration setting recently inside of XYplorer.

It never used to do this until maybe a recent XYplorer or Windows update.

1) I assume when you select such a file and then open the Open With menu in XYplorer (File | Open with... (Ctrl+Alt+Enter)), you see something like this (in your language):

2) What happens in File Explorer?

Attached is what I get, assuming portable file associations is enabled. In windows explorer it just works, going to the default program I selected.

In file Explorer, it is ok when default app of photo viewer is Photos or ACDsee photo,... I just double click a photo and photo will be opened.
But in XYPlorer, it is not ok. When I double click a photo a pop-up window appears "How do you want to openthis file?". I check " Always use this app to open .Jpg/.Png,... files then click "ok" to confirm, photo will be opened. But the problem is that next time when I open any photo in XYplorer I must repeat the same thing.

Please run this through the XY address bar:

Code: Select all

echo get("assoc","jpg");
What is returned?

That ACDSee path looks good, right?

I have more questions:

1) How exactly to you try to open the file? (ENTER, dbl-click, Open With... )

2) Can you open it successfully via context menu?
