File association with Prelude

[9Deluxe]

I am using Windows 7 Pro. Until recently, I haven't had problems with file associations in Windows Explorer. Now I am having a problem with Prelude files not being able to be associated with Prelude. I can't change it through "Properties," either. I had this same issue with Photoshop wherein I had to edit the Windows registry(!). Not cool. The best Adobe could offer was their usual "uninstall/reinstall" solution. Thank God a user (middle.aged.hack) was able to figure it out and posted a solution that worked, but as mentioned earlier, it involves editing the Windows Registry.

This is unacceptable, Adobe. If you can't get your product to work correctly, at least find us a work-around and then make it VERY public. Don't leave us hanging for weeks and months on end with no solution or, worse, a bad solution. I'd rather you spend your time perfecting what you've created than developing a new function in Photoshop that barely anyone will ever use or re-inventing Flash for the umpteenth time.

** UPDATE **

Just installed this morning's (November 21) Prelude update and the file association problem seems to have been remedied. Thanks, Adobe.

Hi Marc,

Sorry for the problem.

Glad that it has been resolved with the update.

Please highlight if you even see the same again. I haven't seen it of late, though.

Thanks,

Mayjain
