BeOS versions after 0209 do not play files on double click

[tigerdog]

After 0209, BeOS builds don't appear to register themselves properly with the OS. The 0209 version creates the appropriate mime-ty pe to allow it to be set as the default application for media files - double-clicking a file opens vlc and plays the file. Versions after 0209 no longer do this. For a while, I was able to unzip newer versions over the old and keep the functions; now even that fails. The app runs and plays files if opend after starting the app. But if double-clicking a media file, vlc starts but the file is never played. I'm running BeOS 5.1d0 (dano). Here are copies of the message window, double clicking the same file on the 0209 and 0315 versions:

Seems like the double-clicked file never makes it into the playlist.
Thanks for looking/listening!
