[valmont]

[VLC_help]

We try to log up all problems so that they can be fixed and tracked to certain version.

[valmont]

[valmont]

[VLC_help]

It usually takes a lot longer than three days...

Noticed the same problem described here for "Win32" platform. Develops under win7 x64 aswell.
Tried to run it under xp sp3 compatibility or "as admin" - same thing - crash.

Just a note.

I see the same thing with Win7 64 bit. AS soon as I click apply it hangs. I also tried running it as admin but no difference.

You realize that "VLC crash" is the most vague thing ever?
You jump in a conversation and say you have the same bug? How are you sure it is the same?

[deckard7]

I'm following this conversation since several weeks ago, today I downloaded VLC 1.1.2 and when I associate the file extensions and click apply vlc crashes, I think it's reasonable to think that the problem has not been fixed yet, it happened in 1.1.0, in 1.1.1 and now also in 1.1.2, at least in my computer.

[VLC_help]

Trac ticket is still open, so the issue hasn't been fixed.

XP SP3 W32 v1.1.4
Bug still present for me also.

When I de-select some files it does not save them after clicking apply/save.
When I de-select other files .mp2/3 on clicking apply it crashes.

Hi ! I have the same problem - the player crashes when i click apply in file association settings. My OS : Windows Home Premium 7 x64bit. My player : VLC media player v. 1.1.4 (Portable) [ http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0EB26F5C - VLC_Portable_1.1.4_Multilingual.paf ]

The latest night bulid seems to be progressing in connection with this problem.

I no longer get any crash when applying file associations, however the save function doesn't seem to work on all file types.
eg. I de-selected .mp3 then saved & on restart it remembered my selection, when I de-selected .avi & saved on restart it was still ticked

I am using Win 7 x64 with VLC v1.2.0-git-20110913-0006

Applying the file associations does not crash the application. However no file associations are actually made.

Please update Trac ticket
http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/3874

[VLC_help]

It needs new ticket. Crashing and "won't do anything" are two completely different issues.

[nightryde]

Agreed.

Awaiting new ticket URL...

@VLC_help Can you please create a new ticket for this?

We would love to see this issue resolved in the next version.

Thanks in advance.

[VLC_help]

Can you please create a new ticket for this?

Yes. During this weekend.

We would love to see this issue resolved in the next version.

Many people would like that. But I doubt that will happen, since the associations has been broken for ages.
