Currently you can do this with the freeware "Tascal Regedit" by manipulating the registry directly. _________________ Author of Total Commander

Tillanosoft PocketTweak (http://www.tillanosoft.com/ce/ptweak.html) will let you do this without editing the registry directly. You can also change various other system configurations with this freeware program. I've been using it successfully now for several months.

I see, file association works in beta 2. That is great!
But... I think there is a small problem. Command and Parameter should be quoted, otherwise (file or directory) names with spaces in them will not work. (For example Parameter is automatically set to %1, but should be "%1") |

Indeed association support is very basic at this time. I will add quotes for file names containing spaces (and for %1). _________________ Author of Total Commander

This feature will "make my day"!. I do a lot of python programming on my Windows mobile 5.0 device using Vim. I can't use the alternate viewer or notepad feature within TC in order to launch my scripts into Vim because of the spaces in names issue.
As a result, I have a parallel launch of file explorer in the background which I tab over to in order to use an "open with" utility that works with that program.
I would love to "beta test" this feature in the meantime when your ready. (a subtle way of asking when the next release might be available)

Have you tried to change the parameter in the registry yourself from %1 to "%1" including the double quotes? _________________ Author of Total Commander

| Yes, I tried that, in virtually every combo of "/Storage Card/Program Files/Vim/Vim.exe" "%1" that I could think of. I was sure that this was the problem several months ago but alas, it doesn't appear to be the source. |

Should this not read "\Storage Card\Program Files\Vim\Vim.exe" "%1"?!
(Path separator is the backward slash, not the forward slash. After all it is Windows, not Unix.)

| You are correct. I should have typed the backslash in my example. I did, however use the correct slash in my registry trials and errors. The problem is deeper than simply changing the registry entires. |
