Altap Salamander Support Forums

With the 2.5 beta 11, I have to manually configure a lot of file extensions for the viewer to work with. For example, *.DOC, *.TXT, *.INI...
A problem that I never had in the past with precedingt version of Salamander. It is very annoying.
Is it due to a misconfiguration/installation, or a new politics?

Probably due to a misconfiguration/installation.
Try these threads:
Uninstalling older versions
FTP settings lost

OK, everything fine now.
I had to uninstall beta 10 and beta 11, then reinstall beta 11.
Seems there is a more complete list of extensions now.

I never had these problemes. All old configurations are active in the newest beta!

With this procedure you have done so called clean installation. You lost your previous settings, but you lost your previous mis-settings too
And this cure your problems.

There is a problem:
-Operations with Windows Registry are terribly slow under Windows XP.
-Windows XP kills not-responding processes during OS shutdown.
-Servant Salamander is not responding during "Saving configuration" stage.
Result: configuration is corrupted.

Solution: Close all running applications before you shut down Windows.

We know about this issue and will try to fix it (at least indicate it).

@Altap-Team: Does that mean, the next beta will have an option to save configuration in a ini-file
(using an ini-file already mentioned by Jan Rysavy in this and in this thread)

No. We must finish the language translation support, I'm sorry...
