F3 and double-clicking work incorrectly for JPG files In Android folders only

Post by *Pandamalac »

Hello Everyone! I would like to ask for your help in solving the following problem:

In Windows folders, when I double-click on an image, it opens with IrfanView, but in Android folders (e.g. DCIM), it opens in Paint. Why? If I press F3 in TC, I get a "Missing path" error message.
The assignment everywhere is : jpg file ("C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view64.exe" "%1")
Internal viewer settings > Multimedia > Non BMP... : C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view64.exe checked

Thanks in advance for your help

When you open Android directories from "Drives" view (Computer), it is opened as a virtual directory, so TC associations do not work.
There are two simple solutions:
1. Use MediaAudio2 plugin ( direct link - https://plugins.ghisler.com/fsplugins/wpdplug.zip ) to open directories on your phone, there TC associations work, view by F3 too.
2. Change system associations for JPG files (and other image files) - this one does not fix F3 error.
