[oXygen-user] Poll question about file type associations in the Windows installer

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello everyone,

We try to get some opinions from oXygen users on the topic of file type 
associations with the oXygen application in the Windows installer. 
Currently in the Windows installer of oXygen the file associations are 
enabled by default (the checkboxes are checked by default in the Select 
File Associations panel). For example an .xml file is opened with oXygen 
automatically on double clicking the file in Windows Explorer which is 
exactly what the association should do. But due to the way file 
associations work in Windows an XML file cannot be opened in the 
Internet Explorer browser any more as an XML file, that is instead of 
opening and parsing the XML file (and halting the parse on a parse 
error) and displaying it in colors the file open operation is delegated 
to the application associated with that file type, which is oXygen in 
our case. This can be annoying for some users.

Also you can cast your vote on the poll opened on the oXygen forum:
