Unable to associate txt files to ST3

#1

Hi, I’ve just downloaded ST3 Beta 3047 on a Windows XP Pro SP3 computer. The software works fine, but I can’t associate it to txt files.

When I double click a txt file, I would like it opens automatically with ST3, like it used to do with ST2.

Unfortunately, when I try to change “open with” for txt files, ST3 is not on the list and if I manually select the exe file nothing happens…

Is it a bug? Any workaround?

I have the same issue, but not also with txt files. Basically it does not appear under the “open with” window.

Now I’m runing only Sublime Text 3, but during a short time I had both st2 and st3 installed.

I’m also under windows 7 x64

Does someone have a workaround for this bug? It’s very annoying and I’m seriously thinking to switch back to ST2…

Finally someone has found a fix!

In registry editor, delete the key and all its subkeys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\sublime_text.exe

Thank you very much!!!
