Hi Larissa,
If I understand correctly, you can manually open the gwyddion files. If
this works then Gwyddion itself should be OK. It seems that just the
file association is wrong because instead of Gwyddion Adobe tries to
open it. You can check whether the association is right. Click Start ->
Settings -> Programs -> Default programs -> Associate file type or
protocol to a program (this is for Windows 7 and it was translated from
czech version, so it need not to be exactly the same on english Vista).
If you find .gwy file type (or other types like .zfr etc.) should be
associated to Gwyddion. If this is wrong then reinstallation of Gwyddion
should correct this. It is strange that it didn't work. Maybe Adobe
reassociates it afterwards. In that case I would try to search for it in
Adobe's settings...
Regards,
Mira

Hi, I used to use Gwyddion 2.15 succesfully, never a problem. I have
some files I need to urgently get to a professor. They were made using
a later version of Gwyddion. I brought them home to work on them. I
coudn't open them on my laptop with Gwyddion 2.15, so I deinstalled
2.15 and installed 2.31 per the install instructons (i.e., anything
earlier than a certain version needd to be deinstalled first). Here
are the problems I'm having:
1. I try to do an "Open with" and point to C:\Program
Files(x86)\Gwyddion\bin\gwyddion.exe to set the default program to
Gwyddin, but nothing happens, my files default to Adobe pdf (!) instead.
2. I tried deinstalling and reinstalling. No change. Same problem.
3. I can double click on the gwyddion.exe executable in \bin and open
Gwyddion and manually open each file, but I have 100's of files to
process, and I wasted half my day yesterday on this.
4. I thought maybe it had to do with gtk+, but I see that 2.31 has
gtk+ bundled in it, so abandoned that idea.
5. First I installed 64-bit since my laptop o.s. is 64 bit, then tried
32-bit. No change. Same problem.
Help?
Is this just because I am using Windows Vista? I can't afford to
upgrade to 7 right now. Bought my computer at Costco 1 mo before 7
came out a couple of years ago (I think?), and they wouldn't honor a
free upgrade from Vista to 7, so I'm stuck with it for now.
Many thanks,
Larissa
