[Scilab-users] 2016.07.02 - Double click on zcos ou sce files open Scilab GUI but not Xcos or Scinotes - Elements Solution

[Perrichon]

Dear,

 

Following a last email wrote by Samuel Goujon, he informed me that, for him,
nothing particuiar is (and must be) done when double clicking on a zcos,
cos, xcos, sci, sce files, on the OS browser (I speak here with Windows OS,
for other ones, I don't know)
I don't agree.
 
Point 1:
--------
Scilab Installer proposes on the before last page to associate zcos, cos,
xcos, sci, sce files with the new version to install.
As far as I can understand, it's done to open the files in one Scilab
session. for a zcos file, it opens Scilab+Xcos; for sce or sci files, it
opens Scilab + Scinotes,... and so on, with the clicked file.
 
It is what happen where we install a first version of Scilab.
Then, if we install another Scilab version, zcos, cos, xcos, sci, sce files
are open with the latest installed version.
We get a correct association with all files, see photo "Photos Icones Scilab
OK.JPG" in attached files, with a particuliar icon for zcos, sce ...etc.
 
Point 2
-------
Now, I've installed 4 versions of Scilab 5.5.2-x32, 6.0.0 b2 x32, 6.0.0 b2
x64, 5.5.2-x64 on W10
At this point, files are correctly open with 5.5.2-x64
 
Suppose I want to open files with  6.0.0 b2 x64.
If I right click on a zcos, and modify the propertu "...Open with" and
select WScilex in the bin directory of version 6.0.0 b2 x64, it breaks the
system. 
 
Here is the error.
 
Files are badly associated with the Scilab general icon, and not with the
right icone zcos, sce,.... See photo "Photos Icones Scilab NOT OK.JPG"
 
Point 3
-------
There is no solution if we try to de-install 6.0.0 b2 x64 and re-install it.
 
Conclusion
------------
The only solution consists of de-install all versions of scilab, and
re-install them one by one.
It seems forbidden to manually modify the properties of files.
If you want to open them with a version vvv, first de-instal vvv and
re-install vvv

(...for Clement) and #14651
 
At this step, I dont't know if it is a problem with Wscilex, or a bad
management done by W10
 
To read you

Sincerely,

Pierre

Objet : 2016.07.02 - Double click on zcos ou sce files open Scilab GUI but
not Xcos or Scinotes

 

Dear,

 

 

When I click a zcos file or sce file, the Scilab GUI opens, but not Xcos for
zcos ou Scinotes for sce files.

It was working 1 month ago, but now I can't do anything, even if I
re-install Scilab 5.5.2 x64 W10

 

Note : others Scilab version are installed on my machine : Scilab 5.5.2 x32
and x64, Scilab 6.0.0 b2 x32 and x64.

But the problem is persistent if I suppress all versions and re-install only
5.5.2 x64.

 

Other strange thing : Scilab seems memorize its last options in the GUI
(last directory access for example), even if I re-install the Scilab
version.

Where is it memorized (which file and which directory ?)

Sincerely

Pierre
