Double click to open a EPUB on Windows? #2163
Comments
Isn't a registry issue ? could you clear your registry epub file association, to let the window store make the association again. |
You cannot import an epub and open it in Thorium 2.4.1 at all ? |
If I double-click a new epub, version Thorium.2.3.0-alpha.1.3658607447 will import the new epub and open it in a seperated window. But 2.4 just open the main window, and doesn't even import the new epub. And yes, I can import a new epub by drag&drop or add in the main window. |
Ok i will check on my side |
We will not be able to debug/troubleshoot this from Thorium APPX deployed to the Microsoft Windows Store, but hopefully we will be able to reproduce with the NSIS executable which installs Thorium for either all users or the current local one (i cannot remember what the Electron Builder does) |
It works on my windows 11 pro machine. File association (double click, or open with) works with Thorium already open or not. I should be abble to reproduce to help you. |
Thank you for testing @panaC |
So could the problem experienced by some users be limited to the Windows Store version? Or maybe the NSIS executable installer is affected when users install the Windows Store version in parallel too? |
I am sorry, I am confused. Can you reproduce the problem or you don't have the problem on your site? I tested the Official Github Release 2.4.1 in Windows 10 Sandbox, so that I don't have to worry about cleaning the registry or user folders. I got the same result. Video_2024-05.mp4 |
just out of interest, are you able to test with Windows 11? |
Just tested on my colleague's notebook running Windows 11. It works. |
Surely a breaking change with Electron, sorry ! |
Thorium, just like other apps built with Electron, doesn't control at a low-level how file associations are created. I guess Electron Builder broke some Windows 10 backward compatibility ... or maybe the NSIS installer which probably is responsible for configuring the registry. |
Windows or Store version Thorium.Setup.2.4.1 won't open the clicked EPUB.
I am always using Thorium.Setup.2.3.0-alpha.1.3658607447.exe, It is the only version I konw, could open the double-clicked EPUB.
