VLC 1.1.5 Crash on file association

[ukbirdflu]

Up to 1.1.4 I have no trouble with VLC player. Upgraded to 1.1.5 today, and the first thing I noticed was nearly all my media files turned into VLC player icon, it has grabbed all kinds to media files, I then use file association to edit the preference, no matter what I unclick, when I hit "apply", the whole VLC player would disappear. Relaunch of the player it says VLC just crashed and want to report to development team. What ever I unclicked in the file association were still ticked.

I reinstalled 1.1.4 and then do the upgrade again, carefully unclicked all file association during installation and this time it worked. I had to set up manually file association using Window Explorer, and touching file association in VLC still cause it to crash.

May be I should keep to 1.1.4.

The file association dialog inside VLC preferences is broken. So I suggest that you don't use it.

This bug STILL stands with the latest version or has returned. It is quite annoying.

instant app crash when trying to set the file associations within preferences (win 7 x64, admin account)

what is the problem in fixing such a long standing obvious fatal bug (fatal cause it crashes the program 100% repeatable) Oo

VLC is an open source project. So developers mostly do features they want to do. Since file association crash doesn't cause any security issues, I will guess it won't be fixed in anytime soon (specially since Windows Vista and 7 have new filetype association thingy build-in).

I am also having file assoc. bug on XP and cannot send crash reports as the crash-dump file is 0 bytes.
Why not just quickly disable it for now, and fix it when there is nothing more important to do?
