Re: Daily build - file association

Dale - I'm pretty sure I cleared out all my old installs before downloading
5.4. I went to help>about and it says 5.4.0.

Robert - The "Open with jEdit" right-click option DOES already work
(thankfully - otherwise I think I'd go crazy). Just not double-clicking to
open.

... Apparently I never actually hit SEND on the above when I composed it
several weeks ago. If anyone is curious, our IT guys at work just upgraded
my machine to Windows 10 (fresh image, not upgrade-in-place) and then I did
a fresh install of jEdit. The file associations are working beautifully,
and I am very happily double-clicking away on my files to open them in
jEdit now.
