I have recently downloaded scite version 1.67. and unpacked it in to my
program files folder. (Windows XP)
I use to use version 1.66 which was out side of program files, but am
trying to clean up my files/programs.
Scite itself runs fine, but I can not use windows to open a file with it.
right click on file -> 'open with ...'
or
right click on file -> 'Open With' -> Choose Program
When I select scite then hit ok it does not appear in the open with
window and so can't open the file with scite
I remember having this problem before with the old version until I just
put it in a top level folder.
Scite is the only program that I seem to have this problem with!
Any Ideas on what is causing it/How to fix it?
I think this is a problem with Windows XP and not SciTE.
My experience is that "Open With" is not very reliable.
For example, it doesn't support additional options that some programs
need to open a file (these programs register their options,
but "Open With" doesn't care about it).
In your case, I guess that WinXP stores somewhere in the registry
the old location of SciTE, but hides it in the selector because
the executable no longer exists. When you select the new executable,
WinXP thinks it's the old program.
I've always had SciTE in "C:\Program Files\wscite\" and never experienced
this problem with Win98, WinXP nor WinXP SP2.
