.pws - Workspace files- opening via registry - 07/13/06 05:58 PM

I added some keys to my registry so .pws files would open with PingPlotter:

Code:
  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pws]
@="PingPlotter.Workspace"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PingPlotter.Workspace]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PingPlotter.Workspace\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\PingPlotter Pro\\PingPlotter.exe,1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PingPlotter.Workspace\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PingPlotter.Workspace\shell\Open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PingPlotter.Workspace\shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\PingPlotter Pro\\PingPlotter.exe \"%1\""



well this succeeded in getting PWS files to open in PP3, but then PP3 greets me:


why doesn't PP3 accept pws files as command line arguments? It would be very much more convenient to double-click on these files and have them open. any reason?

We actually had this working at one point (prototype), but this added some complexities that made us disable it and push that feature for "future review". Really, it needs to go hand in hand with loading/saving of data in a workspace file (as discussed in your question in the extensions forum).
