Change File Open With Association

Post by *sancarlosctclist »

Hi, I upgraded to Total Commander Extended and I need to know how to change the app association when I open a MP4 or AVI in Total Commander How do I change the default file associations?

Disclaimer, I am not very technical, so if you wouldn't mind walking me through the steps, that would be appreciated. This is the way that I say that I am old. :lol:

Thanks for your help and for your great product.

Total Commander Extended is not an authorized distribution. Don't ask for support here for this distribution.

It's not related to TC Extended, so I don't mind giving support here:
You can define internal associations which only works within Total Commander via menu Files - Internal associations - Add...
Then enter the file types in the following form, separated by spaces:
*.mp4 *.avi
Click OK, then pick a program by clicking on >> in the "Open" line.

It's your party, but in doing so you are in a way promoting Total Commander Extended, saying it is okay to use it.

Are you saying it is okay to use your registedered mademark without permission? And are you saying it is okay to distribute an altered TC without permission?

I examined a Total Commander Extended package. It contained a modified totalcmd.exe file, version 10.52. It had your digital signature, but when I clicked on Details, it said it was invalid. Are you saying it is safe to run this executable?

white,
In the past, Christian said he is OK with distributing TC as a pack with additional software, e.g. TC Ultima Prime, however, not with cracks or modified executables.
From a quick Google search, TC Extended seems to include a cracked version of TC.

Ghisler has stated that the makers of Total Commander Ultima Prime asked for permission and permission was granted to them. And that others are not authorized, but he cannot do anything against them.
