eagle 5.0.0 - open with problem [Win Xp]

esilviu

as with an older beta version, windows can't correctly asociate .sch, .brd

or .lbr with eagle.exe.

"eagle" it's not listed in "Open with" list of applications, and it's not

added with "Browse" button.

 

Solved manually, with regedit:

-

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

@="\"C:
Program Files
Electro
EAGLE-5.0.0
bin
eagle.exe\" \"%1\""

-

 

after this, eagle is in "open with..." list

    Ease up there, no need to get so upset and start shouting about it

     

    I believe the browse option, when right clicking the file, does not work as

    there will already be an eagle entry in the open with window options, and

    windows won't like having a duplicate.

     

    However you still do not need to go delving into the registry and can indeed

    browse to the eagle v 5 program using a slightly different approach

     

    The alternative is to open windows explorer, select Tools- folder options-

    file types.

     

    Now find your entry for brd - open it click on advanced option- select open

    and edit, then you CAN BROWSE to the eagle v 5 directory and change the

    default open program.

     

    cheers
