File Association Options

[JoeM]

Hi,

I'm using OS/2 Warp 4 with FixPak 12 installed.

I've been using PMView since ver 0.93 and have never had this problem before.

I recently installed PMView ver 2.13 and ever since, many of my .jpg's are associated with the OS/2 image viewer. Amazingly, some of my files are associated with PMView though.

I did click on "OK" for the section that had to do with file association. After I discovered the problem, I used the utility in the PMView folder. I tried this a number of times and cold rebooted and warm rebooted but many of my files are still associated with the OS/2 viewer.

Can anybody offer a solution?

Thanks.

Joe

Normally the MAKEDEFV file association program that comes with PMView should work since it does the same thing that IBM's SETDEFV (provided in FixPak #1) does.

However, for some reason this solution may stop working when installing some of the later fixpaks. In this case, the only solution we know of is to install the Practice Image DLL. This is a DLL that overrides the OS/2 WPS system DLLs. You can get the Practice Image DLL from Hobbes.
