Re: LEO file association on windows vista
I found the problem. When I copy and pasted the ftype from the website, it gives me the wrote quotes. I copied from the online doc, pasted into notepad, changed the paths and then pasted in a cmd window. This didn't work. When I replaced the quotes it worked. I figured out how to get windows vista to show the leo icon for .leo files. I based it on http://littleway.blogspot.com/2007/12/change-file-extension-icon-in-windows.html and my old xp setup. I basically went to regedit->HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT- >leoFile and added the key DefaultIcon=C:\Program Files\leo\current \leo\Icons\LeoDoc.ico,0. For my setup I made C:\Program Files\leo \current a junction to C:\Program Files\leo\Leo-4-6-2-final.

Re: LEO file association on windows vista
Another vista option. Create a text file and name it leostart.cmd Put the following commands (or something similar) in the file set PYTHONHOME=c:\python25 set PYTHONPATH=c:\python25 C:\Python25\python.exe c:\python25\lib\site-packages\leo-4-6-2-final \launchleo.py %1 --gui=tk where you adjust the directories, gui (which is qt by default) and leo version to match what you want or have. From file manager right click on a .leo file and chose "open with". Navigate to the leostart.cmd file, select it and tag it as default. Any .leo file that you click on will now open with the leo gui.

Perhaps it is a Vista specific issue. This page says to open a command prompt with elevated priviliges before running ftype and assoc: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/20/how-to-unassociate-file-types-and-remove-file-extension-associations-in-windows-vista/ > note: I changed pythonw.exe to python.exe.

Python.exe (no w) starts a console window, and thus possibly some messages, before starting the main .py app. I don't know how to grab those console messages for later inspection. Pythonw.exe goes straight to the windowed app. Try activating via the association from the command prompt and see if there are any errors: C:\> Start "\path\to\some\foobar.leo" And if that doesn't illuminate perhaps the ftype parameter from the prompt: "C:\Program Files\Python26\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\leo\Leo-4-6-2-final\launchLeo.py" "\path\to\myleodoc.leo" cheers -- -matt --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.

LEO file association on windows vista
I'm having trouble setting up the file association on windows vista so that when I double click on a file it opens leo with that file. I didn't have problems setting up windows xp for this. I'm having trouble with the directions at http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/install.html#installing-leo-on-windows. For step 5 I'm not sure what it means by setting up a short-cut “Target = C:Python25pythonw.exe “C:Python25Libsite- packagesleolaunchLeo.py” Start in = D:code ”. Target isn't a dos command. I don't understand how to do this. I skipped step 5 and moved on to step 6 with ftype and assoc. The doc looks link one command . It took me a while to figure out ftype and assoc were 2 separate commands. I tried these dos commands: -- ftype LeoFile="C:\Program Files\Python26\python.exe" “C:\Program Files \leo\Leo-4-6-2-final\launchLeo.py" "%1” assoc .leo=LeoFile -- note: I changed pythonw.exe to python.exe. When I double click a .leo file, I get a flash of the python console and leo never pops up.
