View/Edit jpeg not working with Windows 10

#1 Post by ilens » 2016-06-05 16:34

I've just upgraded to Win10 and when I right-click a jpg file in the Filezilla "Remote site" panel and select View/Edit I get a message that there is no program associated with the extension. Win 10 Settings shows "Photos" associated (and right clicking one in the "Local site" panel works OK). I tried to make a new association in Filezilla settings but I can't locate a suitable program (Windows.photos.exe is not accessible)
How have others solved this problem?

What happens if you right click the JPEG in Explorer and select 'Open'? FileZilla can only use the program associated to 'Open'.

There, are, at least, two association lists in Windows (one for the System and one for each logged-on user account). Depending on where and how a program manages its own associations, it might happen that FileZilla has problems to detect them.
You can, of course, use custom associations inside FileZilla. Simply type the extension and the associated Editor (full path if not in %PATH%, enclosed in double quotes if there are blanks in path). Those custom associations are only valid inside FileZilla.

Example:

Code: Select all

txt notepad.exe

The Windows 10 "settings" for file associations just says "Photos"
If it add a Filezilla association of
jpg "Photos"
it says "Associated program not found"
I search for Photo*.exe in the C drive with no matches.
The "Windows photo viewer" folder has no exe

I have ticked "Inherit system's filetype associations" in Filezilla

Photos is an App, not a Win32 program. I have no idea if and how you could use Metro Apps in FileZilla, I don't use those.

The PhotoViewer(.exe) Desktop program is still available AFAIK.

I did a search for PhotoViewer on C: No .exe, only a .dll
Why does Filezilla not use a "normal" way of showing image files ... Diagnostics.Process.Start("I:\Documents\_Test images\Saved.jpg") works fine and brings up the Photos app

Normal? There's nothing normal about the way file associations work on Windows. It's a maze of many different registry keys. Have a look at the src/msw/mimetype.cpp file from wxWidgets' to see how difficult it is to determine the open command for a file.
Diagnostics.Process.Start("I:\Documents\_Test images\Saved.jpg") works fine and brings up the Photos app
Does this command use the default action or does it use the Open verb? Note that other actions, even while not being of the Open verb, may be named Open.

I ran into this issue today and it was driving me crazy. You can restore Windows Photo Viewer to Windows 10 (hidden after upgrade or clean install) using any number of links like this one:

Code: Select all

Thanks for forcing Apps on us Microsoft.

This also a problem for me, if it can't access the dll, was there a solution here?
