Re: Daily build - file association

5.4 is out, I downloaded the windows installer on my wife's computer, and
jEdit was automatically associated with .txt files, in fact, "Open with
jEdit" shows up on the list on any file I right-click on in the file
explorer. Setting default as described previously works as expected. Maybe
give the 5.4 release version a try? I'm not sure what feature you were
needing from 5.4 that you were using the daily builds. If you still need to
use the daily builds, maybe download and run the windows installer first,
then copy the jedit.jar from the daily build to wherever you installed
jEdit (probably C:\Program Files\jEdit)?
