I upgraded to 5.4.0 today - actually I uninstalled all my other
instances first, and got a clean Application Settings directory, and
migrated in whatever settings I wanted from my old directory, just to
be sure I didn't bring along any weird behavior from before. I'm still
having file association problems.

Jesse - I tried a CSS file too just in case XSL was being weird.

Whenever I follow the usual steps ...
* Right-click the file, Open With, Choose Default Program, Browse,
navigate to  & select jedit.exe ...
I get taken right back to the "Open with" dialog box and jedit has NOT
been added to the list of programs I can open with.

Thankfully, I do at least have the "Open with jEdit" option in the
context menu on files, but I sure do miss that double-click action.

This is on Windows 7.
