internal association stop working with exe files

Post by *bbbslayer »

I like TC “internal association” very much. It is very powerful.

But recenly I find a bug about it.

For example:

My Download Folder has a lot of setup files. They are all exe files. I wish to use a custom uninstaller to track setup process.

I make a named search first: *setup*.exe -> setup
internal association: setup ->uninstaller_tools.exe /install "%1"
(uninstaller_tools.exe is a tools can track the install)

But it does not work at all. I open the file like "tc_setup.exe". It passes the internal association and open directly.

I try out xyplorer, my plan works:
*setup*.exe>UninstallTool.exe /install

It seems TC does not support internal association with certain type files. Execute files is a example. Is it a bug or a design? How can I use internal association with exe files?

Context menu should work.
