There can be customized options for specific file types if you add registry keys to both '''HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT''' | There can be customized options for specific file types if you add registry keys to both '''HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT''' (or '''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'''). | ||
Originally, [http://oni.bungie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=10487#p10487 Gumby wrote such a shell extension] but it refuses to work on some systems. Either Windows 10 needs HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as well or other registry settings of other programs are interfering. | |||

== | ==Setup for .xml file type== | ||
Since .xml is a widly used file extension there seem to be additional settings had override the default lookups for better management. | |||
The .xml key at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes has a '''Default value (redirect)''' with "'''xmlfile'''". | |||
If you remove the xmlfile value then Classes\xmlfile will be looked up nonetheless. (Doublecheck on other machines.) | |||
So, next reg path to modify is this: | |||
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\xmlfile\shell\OniSplit_or_OniSplitGUI] | |||
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\xmlfile\shell\OniSplit_or_OniSplitGUI\command] | |||
@="\"C:\\PATH\\Batch_for_OniSplit_or_OniSplitGUI.exe\" \"%1\"" | |||
==Notes for repair after standard application changed== | |||
When you change xml standard application following gets added and breaks the context menu options: | |||
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.xml\UserChoice] | |||
As soon as you remove this key context menu works again. However this removes the possibility to double-click .xml to open them. | |||
Somthing is still missing. | |||
==Advanced conversions== | |||
If another program handles OniSplit and automatically feeds it with the right arguments you would only need one explorer context menu option such as: | |||
add to OniSplit helper list and process | |||
Some conversions require more than one input file. In that case can collect the other files first: | Some conversions require more than one input file. In that case can collect the other files first: | ||

==Install and uninstall== | |||
A less tech-savvy modder shouldn't need to deal with registry settings. | |||
AEI could be used to distribute an OniSplitHelper tool that manages the registry. | |||
Perhaps "Vago" and "Simple Onisplit GUI" could be adapted to do that. | |||
