Hi, Mira,
Thank you for your response. I had previously tried to set the default program
to gwyddion, and the *.gwy file is still associated with gywiddion, but
everytime I try to set the default for the *.mi to gwyddion, it won't recognize
gwyddion and just keeps the adobe association. I'll look into adobe to see if
there's a way to unset it.
Also, when I used to have gwyddion installed, there was an executable file that
would appear in the Program Fils (x86)\Gwyddion folder. Since reinstalling, I
can only find the gwyddion.exe file in the \bin directory. And the gwyddion.exe
file used to have an icon associated with it, but there is just a generic icon
associated with it now. It seems like something isn't installing correctly.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
Larissa

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

napsal(a):
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
