[Moved] Change file extension association with Qt Creator
-
[quote author="Gerolf" date="1321048535"]In windows?
You can change the file assignements in the windows explorer.
[/quote]But Qt Creator will still be considered the standard Editor for C files, I don't feel quite comfortable with that. I just need to click "Restore" and it's back there again.
I was able to choose which file types I can associate this with during the install, but now I can't? -
Apparently it's not, since Qt Creator changed the association during the install. I could change every single file type association made by Qt manually over explorer, but Qt would still be registered as the "Standard" (mind the quotation marks) program.
Plus, how would I find out about every single file type associated with Qt Creator? Why can I associate them with a few clicks during the install, but not de-associate them equally easy?
I'd hate to uninstall it, but if this is the easiest way to get rid of my problem, I'll look for a less clingy IDE.

Didn't the Qt SDK installer ask while installing? If it did, I find it perfectly acceptable for it to associate itself on installation to those file types.
On restoring them: are you suggesting the installer keep track of how the associations looked before install, and provide some way to revert to that state? I have never seen this in any installer yet to date, so I don't quite get why you expect that of the Qt SDK installer.

I'm not talking about the installer, I'm talking about the SDK. I expect what's common for other programs, let's take 7z for instance:

i think there is no ability in QtCreator such you describe,

[quote author="Andre" date="1322400225"]That allows you to make associations, but not to associate them with anything else, right?[/quote]
Right, but I don't want to associate it with anything else, I want to de-associate it. Just take the 7-zip for instance, uncheck one of the boxes and a file with the respective extension won't be opened with 7-zip anymore.

I want not a single file to be opened with Qt-Creator by default.
