"Open with" issue on Windows #323

Closed Bert-Proesmans closed 1 year ago

Bert-Proesmans commented 1 year ago

The 7-Zip ZS installer doesn't properly register as a default program for .7z files. My guess is a small issue within registry values, but I'm not deeply familiar with "right way". Associating .7z files from the File Manager configuration doesn't have an effect, presumably the same code path?

Continuing from the "Open with" window doesn't start the 7-Zip filemanager for the selected file. After clicking on the button "OK", the "Open with" window closes and re-opens. image

In the default apps configuration it's not possible to select 7-Zip ZS for .7z files. image

All context menu links work correctly as expected for the selected file. image

As seen on the screenshot, I had 7-Zip baseline installed. That software was uninstalled followed by installation of 7-Zip ZS. 7-Zip left some registry traces that mess with the user experience.

7-Zip ZS "open with" binding from the file manager options does work on clean computers. It's still a manual process, I'm not sure if this is worth a fix though.
