associations editor

[Roedy Green]

ASC has almost every imaginable utility it in, except for a decent associations editor. I have not been able to find one.

The goal is to:

• Allow a non-technical user to set up associations, choosing which program to invoke for each extension. W10-32 and W10-64 do this fairly well.
  
• Allow a non-technical user to set up associations such as *.jar where you don’t just put the file name baldly on the command line, but rather java.exe -jar xxx.jar.
  
• Allow a non-technical user to set up different associations for open, edit, print etc.
  
• Have an automatic registry fix should the associations become damaged to put them back to match a less fragile map of associations maintained by the utility.
  

I have written some ideas on how one might be implemented:

Roedy Green,

 

Thanks for your suggestions.

 

We've recorded them for further assessment.
