Hi All

 

We've recently deployed FME 2021.2.0.1 Desktop (64-bit) to a new server environment shared by many users.

After some time we realized that this installation has somehow changed File association for JPG to associate with FME Data Inspector. This is unintended and very undesirable.

 

What's the best way to reset the JPG File association to whichever program it was prior to the FME Desktop install? If I change this setting manually through Windows options (assuming I get local administrator rights), does this get propagated to all user profiles? Also we are running a Citrix server environment.

 

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks!

 

You can reset the association, but it looks like it does all files, also not sure if this is for all users of the machine, or just the active user - https://www.thewindowsclub.com/reset-all-file-associations-to-default-windows

 

I'd reach out to you IT providers who may well have tools in their support/management stack that can do exactly that

 

I suspect what we are looking for is which registry keys we could safely delete under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Classes\\.jpg.

The file association option is now removed.

"The change to remove the install option of file association in FME 2023.0 was intentional."

What is the plan to enable (partial) rollback without uninstall?
