File associations not 'sticking'

(1/2) > >>

Hi,
Last week I re-installed XPsp2, re-installed MinGW, and downloaded rev 4491 gcc 3.4.5 Windows/unicode version of Code::Blocks. It's up and running fine -- I have compiled a few console apps with it so far.

But each time I start Code::Blocks, it incorrectly prompts me about "Not the default" for file associations. Code::Blocks does launch when I double-click a *.h or *.cpp file. However it doesn't seem to think it will?

Under "settings->Environment" the manage button shows a list that is always un-checked. If I push the "Set Now" button, and then go to manage, they are still unchecked. If I push the "Set Now" button then exit, C::B still prompts me about file associations. I have had to disable the "check & set associations" checkbox to avoid this.

Again, source code does open in C::B when double-clicked from explorer, and shows pretty icons. The manage window and the check/set function seem to forget.

kkez:
Try to remove the association first, then re-set it.

Ah,I have the same problem too.It was ok with a earlier edition(i can't remember which one).I updated codeblocks last night and this problem occurred.Why is that?

Biplab:
There was a small change made in the file association code in revision 4483. It could be possibly due to that. But I made some tests before committing it. It works fine on my PC.

I'm really not sure why it is behaving such a weird manner in your PC ??!! :?

TDragon:
Happens for me as well (r4486).
