Setting file associations for Windows

Reply Threaded

Lasonic and others,

I came across the documentation for file associations in NSIS but I
don't know how to integrate this with CPack. Any ideas?

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/File_Association

My nickname is Lasconic :) No offense :)

Here are the necessary script : http://nsis.sourceforge.net/File_Association
FileAssociation.nsh has to be put in source tree as far as I understand.

And the Cpack code might be something like :

# File types association:
SET(CPACK_NSIS_DEFINES "
!include FileAssociation.nsh
")

SET(CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_INSTALL_COMMANDS "
\\\${registerExtension} \\\"$INSTDIR\\bin\\mscore.exe\\\"
\\\".mscx\\\" \\\"MuseScore File\\\"
\\\${registerExtension} \\\"$INSTDIR\\bin\\mscore.exe\\\"
\\\".mscz\\\" \\\"Compressed MuseScore File\\\"
")
SET(CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_UNINSTALL_COMMANDS "
\\\${unregisterExtension} \\\".mscx\\\" \\\"MuseScore File\\\"
\\\${unregisterExtension} \\\".mscz\\\" \\\"Compressed MuseScore File\\\"
")

I didn't test yet. Tell me if you want me to do it to avoid double work.

Lasconic,

Thanks for the code. I made some adjustments to the backslashes to get
it to build (see r.1772). I had trouble with having more than one
command per line and tried separating the commands into separate SET
statements. This did not work since the second SET statement (for .mscz)
overrides the first (for .mscx). I ran out of time to test more
alternatives this evening. I will let you look at it over the next few
days before I make any further changes.

David
P.S. Sorry about the name. I'm not sure why I keep dropping that "c". I
know it's supposed to be there.

There is probably another method to extend nsis functionality by replacing the
cmake file NSIS.template.in with a local copy and by editing this copy. If
this file is in the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH, then cmake should pick this modified
file in the build process.
(see http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2007-January/012649.html)

You think it's better than the method in the SVN ?

Not necessarily for this special problem. But if the mechanism works, it would
enable other extension such as downloading a soundfont on user request during
installation.

I have a lead for register the extension. The order of the argument is
not good. I commit the change in r1774.
Regarding the overriding I put both comment in one SET
Unregister does not work for the moment and I don't know why Any idea
david or someone?

Lasconic,

The uninstaller has never removed any of the registry settings (which
now includes file associations). This was on my list of things I want to
look into but I don't have any answers yet.

The other problem is that each new file you open via Windows Exporer
opens a new instance of MuseScore. This can lead to high memory usage
(particularly if you use large SoundFonts) and there may some unforeseen
problems with preference settings, the Open Recent list, etc. It may
even be a good idea to remove the file association code before the next
prerelease--at least until we get a chance to address this. Any thoughts?

I tried to build on ubuntu 8.04 but the NSIS version shipped with this
ubuntu version is not compatible with the FileAssociation.nsh as
provided in the SVN...
NSIS version in hardy is 2.33-1 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/nsis)
Current NSIS version is 2.44. I installed it from this PPA :
https://launchpad.net/~misery/+archive/ppa

I will report if it leads to some conflicts in my environment.

NSIS has it's own script for setting file associations that a came
across a few days ago. I've thought about using it since it allows you
to set a different icon for documents than the main icon for the
executable. Maybe their version will compile better on ubuntu?

Their example script is found in Program Files\NSIS\Examples\makensis.nss

I uploaded the document-style icon in r.1796 and added it to the
resource header of mscore.exe so you can access it via
"bin\\\\mscore.exe,1" (just like they do).

Lasconic,

Could it be the backslashes that are causing problems?

Anyway, here's another site that talks about registering Windows file
types (without using FileAssociation.nsh)

There is no problem. It's just a matter of upgrading NSIS to the last
version. It's ok for me.
I think FileAssociation.nsh supports icons as well. No?
This is ugly : http://gergo.erdi.hu/blog/2006-10-08-registering_windows_file_types_with_nsis/
Having it in a separated script, maintain by the nsis community seems
better to me. What do you think?

Lasconic,

I couldn't work out how to get FileAssociation.nsh to use the second
icon ("mscore.exe,1") instead of the first ("mscore.exe,0") for .mscx
and .mscz files. Maybe it can be modified for this purpose.

Lasconic,

I had tried the same change but it doesn't seem to work for me. Is it
working for you? (Do your icons appear differently than before?) I
tested r.1802 as well.

If the icon has been set by a previous install, it does not work as it
but only after reboot.
I guess the icons are cached somewhere.
If you check the registry the value is for default icon is set to mscore.exe,1.

I would rather see the multiple instances problem fixed before we
include the file associations in the prereleases but it is up to you.

I don't really know how to fix the problem myself but I did find a few
web pages on the topic:
