I'm glad you got it working. >>regsvr32 /i shell32.dll Just note that this command does a lot more than update file associations, and may undo some other customizations you've done (default program for camera preview, shortcut wizard behaviour, ...)

Re: Cannot open Leo files by double-click in Windows Explorer?
This is a bit OT, but: for those like me who work in "portable" mode, there's a very cool tool called "PortableFileAssociator" that allows you to create a set of windows file associations, icons etc and enable/disable the whole profile at one time, without messing with the local system's registry. Also handy for those not in portable mode, but working on different windows boxes and bored with having to tweak each one separately. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.

Re: Cannot open Leo files by double-click in Windows Explorer?
Many thanks to all for these replies! This is my final "open" string in the Windows file associations: "C:\Tools\Python32\python.exe" "C:\Tools\Leo-4.10-final\launchLeo.py" --gui=qttabs "%1" Note that the brackets are needed round the %1 to cater for file paths containing spaces. Matt, thanks for the extra details about using ftype and assoc. I hadn't realised those existed in Windows. For anyone else reading this, that is an alternative to working through the file associations GUI.

You want %* in a batch file. It passes all command line arguments to the program being called. "%1" passes just the file being clicked on, quoted for spaces etc. When in a batch file %1 passes just the first command line parameter. It is logical to expect %* to work for click file association as well, but it doesn't.

The last set of double quotes looks wrong. Try: "C:\Tools\Python32\python.exe" "C:\Tools\Leo-4.10-final\launchLeo.py" %* In this case, none of the double quotes are needed, because the paths have no embedded blanks, so this also should work: C:\Tools\Python32\python.exe C:\Tools\Leo-4.10-final\launchLeo.py %* Finally, unless you have a strong reason not to do so, I would suggest adding the --gui=qttabs option:: C:\Tools\Python32\python.exe C:\Tools\Leo-4.10-final\launchLeo.py --gui=qttabs %* Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.

Cannot open Leo files by double-click in Windows Explorer?
Sorry, this is probably a foolish question, but when I double-click on any Leo file on my desktop to launch Leo, it simply launches with the default workbook.leo file open. I can, of course, open any file via the File|Open dialog, but that's not so convenient. The file association contains the following command to execute for the Open operation: "C:\Tools\Python32\python.exe" "C:\Tools\Leo-4.10-final\launchLeo.py %*" Can you suggest what might be wrong?
