Wasn't that the purpose of Internal AssociateWith? So when you [ENTER] on the file, or DoubleClick, or RightClick for contextMenu, then the Internal Association takes over... Otherwise it is whatever Windows normal file associations are.
Of which, you can also change the complete (windows) association, with TC's cm_Associate

*BLINK* TC9 Added WM_COPYDATA and WM_USER queries for scripting.

Why not to do full support of internal associations ? Or concept of internal associations did not means it ?Balderstrom wrote:Wasn't that the purpose of Internal AssociateWith?

You can disagree all you like, but when Christian says it is by design, or it is how he prefers it, then you just pretty much have to accept that at face value. There are at least a couple things that I would prefer to be different, but they are set in stone.ghisler(Author) wrote:This is by design. Internal associations are used in file lists only. Currently it's not planned to support them in any other places, sorry.

Then you would have to add a way to "launch" a file with the system association.It really should be any file that is opened in TC, whether it be a button or other command, not just in file lists.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

But how would you solve it in the interface? The user has somehow to be given the option to launch e.g. c:\pic.jpg using an internal association (as you suggest) or using the system association. How to differentiate?Reading the registry key shouldn't be a problem, I would think.

Hacker,
It would check the internal associations first and if it doesn't find anything there, then it would use the system association.
What I was referring to is that is should be available in more places in TC then just the file list (i.e. buttonbar, hotlist, etc.) Internal means internal to me which should cover anything opened IN TC. no matter where it is. It doesn't matter anyway as Christian has already spoken on this issue and refuses to do anyhing about it.

Boofo,
I am only saying that in the file lists you can launch a file using system associations (SA) or internal associations (IA) at will. For instance you can define a menu with IA's if you want to run a file that way. But there is no menu for a button bar button for instance. You could either run it using an IA or using an SA but you;d have no way to choose which, if it would be changed.
Not sure if I am clear enough.
