Misisng preferences for settings file associations?

[pest]

I downloaded now version 2.0035 (portable) after using v1 for a long time.

Much to my surprise I did not found a settings section
"File associatuion" any more. Is it somewhere else hidden?

Moreover I could not assign the new v2.0035 exe to ".pdf" extension
through WinExplorer.

How can I achieve this otherwise?

Please see this message: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/forum/v ... ght=#16383 - there is explain for Portable version and file associations.

You can also set the associations with a .REG file such as this one:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf]
@="PDF-XChange"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PDF-XChange\DefaultIcon]
@="W:\\Path\\To\\PDF-XChange Viewer\\PDFXCview.exe,1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PDF-XChange\shell\Open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PDF-XChange\shell\Open\command]
@="W:\\Path\\To\\PDF-XChange Viewer\\PDFXCview.exe \"%L\""

Saving the above code as text file with .REG extension, after modifying the paths accordingly is a fast way to set the associations.

BTW don't do it if you're not used to work with the registry. don't blame me if after this your system explodes or something
