====Registry==== | |||
Data in '''HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT''' can only be changed by admins. | |||
Data in '''HKEY_CURRENT_USER''' is for everyone accessible. | |||
'''Customizing file associations''' | |||
Because of restriction of CLASSES ROOT, file associations are easier to be registered in CURRENT USER where they also don't affect other accounts. | |||
Since .bsl in an unique suffix it would be enough to set 2 nodes: | |||
SOFTWARE\Classes\bsl_auto_file\shell\edit\command, ""(leave value name empty), (path to bsl editor), RegistryValueKind.String | |||
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.bsl\OpenWithProgids, bsl_auto_file, New Byte() {}, RegistryValueKind.None | |||
Same can be done with oni files. | |||
Xml files would need more attention as they are an universal file type used by many other apps. | |||
Anyway, file associations can be used to increase usability: in some cases you don't want to use OniSplit or an GUI and pull off something complex - sometimes you just want the basic conversion from oni to xml or vice versa. This can be done by telling the associated app to execute a commandline function. It's something that Vago or SimpleOniSplitGUI should deliver in the future. | |||
