Re: Amaya installation file in windows

I reinstalled Amaya, this time watching the install sequence carefully.

I found that i had to DESELECT the option to do associations as it

was already selected. I do not know if that was because it

'remembered' a previous install or whether the default is to do

associations ..... but the option to opt out is there ok!

thanks for pointing it out.

I just checked that this is configurable during setup (see attached screenshot).

You may have selected it by mistake in the setup, having it selected

from a previous installation or even associated ".htm" manually using

the "Open with..." option in Windows Explorer: I can't reproduce this.

If you upgraded your previous install, didn't select the ".htm" and

Amaya didn't update its file association settings, than it may be a

bug. In my case, I've uninstalled the previous snapshot before

installing this one (11.3pre1) and didn't select that extension: my

".htm" files are opening with Firefox, as expected.

I guess you meant "too close" and I agree: I also hate software which

changes my settings without asking. ;-)
