| Summary | 0005643: Windows Explorer 'Open with' context menu has duplicate MediaMonkey entries | ||||
| Description | This menu seems to have duplicate MediaMonkey entries. I found the following in the registry: My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FieExts\.flac\OpenWithList - c MediaMonkey.exe - g PMP3Datab.exe - h MediaMonkey (non-skinned).exe My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FieExts\.flac\OpenWithProgids - MediaMonkey.File - MediaMonkey.FLACFile Not sure if that's sufficient to resolve or not... | ||||

Fixed in build 1249. - Only the main MM.exe is used now, i.e. there won't appear duplicate entries because of the non-skinned version. - PMP3Datab.exe is because of some internal testing build, it can't appear in registry of our users. - I haven't added clearing of already existing registry duplicates, because I didn't want to add unnecessary code that's useful just for some users. We could add it, but I'd prefer just some info about editing it in registry. |

I reviewed the registry entries that would need to be deleted and although my fix unifies usage of filenames for registered extensions, I'm not sure whether it will prevent duplicate entries in the registry keys mentioned above. These keys are managed by Windows (Explorer) and so I'm not sure whether my fix will really prevent addind the non-skinned executable there. Anyway, the two keys are probably the only ones that need to be modified, I don't know about others. |
