Menu Files - Associate with doesn't work when the user used at least once the context menu function "Open with" - "Always open with". Windows blocks this so programs and installers can't grab a file association which a user has explicitly changed.
In this case, you can only use internal associations to override the Windows associations.

Perhaps this statement can be added to the help?ghisler(Author) wrote: ↑2024-01-25, 09:41 UTC Menu Files - Associate with doesn't work when the user used at least once the context menu function "Open with" - "Always open with".

That's a good idea, I will add it.

So do I, since switching to Win10. This OS is really fighting you all the way, adding more and more vague registry keys, so the third-party programs fail to set up the associations correctly. But the Windows interface is really ill-suited for assigning lots of extensions, which may be required for programs like image viewers or multimedia players. Although the TC's Associate dialog isn't much help for such a scenario either…
Thing is, I did all the tests in a separate Win10 virtual machine exactly for that reason. On my main PC I'm using IrfanView, and I didn't want to risk it with having to reassign all the file types again. And that VM I used does not have IrfanView or any other third-party viewer, that's why it was suitable for testing. I'm sure I have never changed the image file type assotiations in that virtual machine. I could do it and then forget, of course, but there's simply nothing to assign them to…ghisler(Author) wrote: ↑2024-01-25, 09:41 UTC Menu Files - Associate with doesn't work when the user used at least once the context menu function "Open with" - "Always open with".
