Altap Salamander Support Forums

Well, that worked so I guess I'll do it that way.
Thanks for that info.

hmm. i'll try that...thanks for the heads up on that.

Yes, provided the person put it in that folder. When I installed Altap, I installed it in "C:\Program Files\Altap Salamander", not "C:\Program Files\Altap Salamader 2.51". You're right, I could make a list of default folders for various versions, but people who didn't install to ...

But what if the user changes the default installation folder?
How am I supposed to know where that is. What if they put it on a D:\ partition or simply did C:\Program Files\Altap\
There's no way to know that. I can't assume the user used the default install path that Altap provides.

:/ yeah, but still..When other people download my program, that isn't viable.
I can put it in manually, but they can't.

*sigh*

Guess I'll have to stick with the user defining the installed folder.

I mean for my program. Because if a new version comes out, it won't have the same key. I'm talking about the one place I found that salamand.exe is mentioned in the whole Registry, and that's in the uninstallation section. I was thinking I could reference that but then realized it contains the vrsio...

Well, it seems I can't even use that option because I just realized the key has the version number with it, so I can't get the folder path. Please, please make this a feature. it would help so much with my program. Kinda strange that a program like Salamander doesn't support this option; the ability...

Exactly, which is what I said. I was saying don't support any filetype in particular and let the Windows defaults take precendent. For that exact reason: any given file extension can have 2+ possible executables associated with it. Honestly, I haven't ever heard or used a .ACE compressed file (Just ...

Thanks alot. I got rid of all the references of ACE in all the Archiver areas and it fixed it. I had deleted one thing from somewhere last time, but obviously that wasn't enough. Still, It does seem bad practice though, from a programmer's standpoint, to assume what files will be opened by what prog...

Dude, I love your avatar. lol

I'm lost what I'm supposed to do once I find it.

I have a utility program I wrote that is a folder management program that lets you define commonly used paths. I made it because, at work, I have tons of folders I use and it's easier if I can just click on an icon in the System Tray and see a list of the folders pertaining to my clients. Now, I say...

I thought I might bring up an issue about the .ace extension It seems that Altap assume any .ace files are compressed files. However, at my workplace we use postal sorting software from Business Objects and one of the file extensions is .ace. What I have found is, that even with the ACE plug-in disa...
