Change file type association in PyCharm

May 5, 2023 by Tarik

Actually, @CrazyCoder is right: If you accidentally mis-labeled the file, PyCharm remembers it and sets a “pattern” for the new file based on the name. So go to Settings | Editor | File Types, find the type you accidentally mislabeled and remove it from the “Registered Patterns” list. For example, I mislabed “osm.py” as text … Read more

Associate File Extension with Application

March 12, 2023 by Tarik

The answer was a lot simpler than I expected. Windows Explorer has its own override for the open with application, and I was trying to modify it in the last lines of code. If you just delete the Explorer override, then the file association will work. I also told explorer that I had changed a … Read more

Open file with associated application

January 20, 2023 by Tarik

Just write System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@”file path”); example System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@”C:\foo.jpg”); System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@”C:\foo.doc”); System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@”C:\foo.dxf”); … And shell will run associated program reading it from the registry, like usual double click does.

Windows is not passing command line arguments to Python programs executed from the shell

January 16, 2023 by Tarik

I think I solved this. For some reason there is a SECOND place in the registry (besides that shown by the file associations stored in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shell\open\command): [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\python.exe\shell\open\command] @=”\”C:\\Python25\\python.exe\” \”%1\” %*” This seems to be the controlling setting on my system. The registry setting above adds the “%*” to pass all arguments to python.exe (it was … Read more

How to execute Python scripts in Windows?

January 15, 2023 by Tarik

When you execute a script without typing “python” in front, you need to know two things about how Windows invokes the program. First is to find out what kind of file Windows thinks it is: C:\>assoc .py .py=Python.File Next, you need to know how Windows is executing things with that extension. It’s associated with the … Read more

Sublime as default editor

January 2, 2023 by Tarik

Actually it is not my answer, I have just googled it: Open regedit (Win+R, type “regedit”, select OK). Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\sublime_text.exe\shell\open\command Verify that the path is accurate, correct it if it is not. Exit regedit. Open task manager via Ctrl+Alt+Del (or Ctrl+Shift+Esc for later versions of Windows), kill explorer.exe, go to run (Win+R) and type … Read more
