Talk:FileAssoc

There is a bug in the script (I think...)

In the example you call with five parameters:

; !insertmacro APP_ASSOCIATE "txt" "myapp.textfile" "$INSTDIR\myapp.exe,0" \

; "Open with myapp" "$INSTDIR\myapp.exe $\"%1$\""

but in the fuction header there is six patrameters declared:

!macro APP_ASSOCIATE EXT FILECLASS DESCRIPTION ICON COMMANDTEXT COMMAND

There must be somthing wrong here or?

Perhaps a better example would be:

  !insertmacro APP_ASSOCIATE "myext" "myapp.myext" \
    "My App File" "$INSTDIR\myapp.exe,0" \
    "Open with My App" "$INSTDIR\myapp.exe $\"%1$\""

• the "My App File" is what shows up in the Explorer details view
• the "Open with My App" is what shows up in the context menu

quotes fix for COMMAND

Hi,

previous post: obvisously the File Class description is missing in the sample after the file class ID.

In the command if you use double quotes like in myExe.exe "%1", the script will think you have 5 parameters to WriteRegExp ( Nsis 2.12 ). Since it's unlikely anyone will use single quotes in a command, I suggest to fix it by remplacing the double quotes around {COMMAND} in the macro by single quotes:

WriteRegStr HKCR "${FILECLASS}\shell\open\command" "" '${COMMAND}'

Cedric.

Even better, backticks. Done. --kichik 03:45, 31 December 2005 (PST)

Missing param in example

I've just fixed this. Discussion archived below. 127.0.0.1 18:09, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
