Hello folks!

Probably a REALLY simple one this time: I can't get the community's "Paint" script to associate with the usual image filetypes --

And, to add insult to injury, I cannot get the program to open anything other than bitmaps on LiveXP (despite the fact that the native app works well with gifs, jpgs, etc.)

Can't quite sort out the bits . . .

Thanks!

@psc:

Thanks for coming over to help!

I'm going out for the next couple of hours; and then will need to shut down 'til tomorrow -- But what/where is the "vlog" that you want?



See you soon . . .

[Galapo]

My guess would be that another program is possibly overwriting the association later.

Galapo.

Squid,
Try like this:

You can replace edit by openSome example for Associate_File:associate_file,htmlassociate_file,html,open,c:\test.exeassociate_file,html,open,c:\test.exe,/run=%2associate_file,html,editassociate_file,html,icon,c:\test.exeassociate_file,html,icon,%systemroot%\System32\Shell32.dll,-153Use Add_Asso when there is a lot associate to do , process is more speed but require to use hive_load and hive_unload but cannot work if program is outside of %PE_Program% (Like here)hive_load,HKUAdd_Asso,bmpAdd_Asso,jpg
hive_unload,HKU

Sorry, typo. Should be "log".

But I think Pedro's reply already solved your question.

More infos
In your example you use Associate_File without declare the needed variables so it didn't work.
When using API command, you should declare the 3 variables: %ProgramTitle%, %ProgramEXE% and %ProgramFolder%
In most API command there is many parameters that are optional, and you can let them blank, but if they are blank they use the default value
Here you use use Associate_File,jpg
Api convert this to :
First load the registry

Correct my mistake

[Squid]

Thanks folks!

And, thank you, Pedro, for MakeScript! I would have no way of wrapping myself around some of the more arcane aspects of scriptbuilding without it...

So, if I'm understanding things correctly here, by plugging your codeblock,

into the rest of the script, I should finally see the necessary file associations with Paint in my build?

Oh -- one last thing (while I still have a fork in you ): Have I formed the following codeblock correctly for a program which contains directories in its main folder?

[Variables]

%ProgramEXE%=TheProgram.exe

%ProgramFolder%=Some Program

%ProgramTitle%=Some Program



[Process]

RunFromRam,%CheckBoxRAM%

If,%CheckBoxSM%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,StartMenu

If,%CheckBoxDE%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,Desktop

Unpack,Some Program

Unpack,lang,,,%Target_Prog%,Some Program,lang

Unpack,bin,,,%Target_Prog%,Some Program,bin

Unpack,Unp,,,%Target_Prog%,Some Program,bin\Unp

Unpack,Codecs,,,%Target_Prog%,Some Program,bin\Codecs

Unpack,Formats,,,%Target_Prog%,Some Program,bin\Formats

Unpack,docs,,,%Target_Prog%,Some Program,docs

Process_log

Here's the layout which I'm working with:
%Root%\Program Files\Some Program\TheProgram.exe
%Root%\Program Files\Some Program\bin\*.*
%Root%\Program Files\Some Program\lang\*.*
%Root%\Program Files\Some Program\docs\*.*

Been having a hard time with the script syntax (even with MakeScript): Does everything seem to match up correctly here?

Thanks again --

Hi Squid,

And, thank you, Pedro, for MakeScript! I would have no way of wrapping myself around some of the more arcane aspects of scriptbuilding without it...

Thanks, I am happy if it help someone.

I should finally see the necessary file associations with Paint in my build?

Yes, I think it's better way to do what you want and also the more elegant
Becarefull ,like say Galapo, if an other script overwrite some association

Been having a hard time with the script syntax (even with MakeScript): Does everything seem to match up correctly here?

No you make some mistake

Syntax ===> Unpack,[Folder],[Archive],[Option],[%Target_Prog%],[%ProgramFolder%],[%programExe%]
No need to specify %Target_Prog% in the parameter 4 because it is the default value

The parameter 6 %ProgramEXE% is required only if you extract all file in a Folder named like here Folder_Name in the %ScriptDir%
then you make some update to some file in this folder
when unpack see there is a folder in %Scriptdir% , it check if the file you have specify in parameter 6 (Default is %ProgramEXE%)exist
If it exist, files are copied from there rather extracted from script

So you code should be like this:

[Variables]

%ProgramEXE%=TheProgram.exe

%ProgramFolder%=Folder_Name

%ProgramTitle%=Title_Name



[Process]

RunFromRam,%CheckBoxRAM%

If,%CheckBoxSM%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,StartMenu

If,%CheckBoxDE%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,Desktop

Unpack,Folder Name

Unpack,lang,,,,%ProgramFolder%\lang

Unpack,bin,,,,%ProgramFolder%\bin

Unpack,Unp,,,,%ProgramFolder%\bin\Unp

Unpack,Codecs,,,,%ProgramFolder%\bin\Codecs

Unpack,Formats,,,,%ProgramFolder%\bin\Formats

Unpack,docs,,,,%ProgramFolder%\docs

Process_log

[Squid]

Thanks again, Pedro.

I should be able to put the pieces together now

Have a good weekend . . .

[pedrole15]

Hi Squid,
I'm sorry but I've make a mistake
Replace %PE_Program% by %PE_Programs%
in this line

Set,%PE_Programs%,#$pSystemRoot#$p

and the script should work
