Forum LiberKey

Since recently, and on two machines using the same key, I had the same issue: The default web browser changed.

Normally I keep the default web browser and keep HTML file association for context menu choices. That work fine as none is "By default" and "Replace the current actions for this type of files" is not checked.

However now all HTML files and web links (e.g., Start > Run... > ) open the first browser associated for HTML files in LiberKey (even though it not marked to replace actions).

I had to delete the HTM/HTML association until this is solved.

Hello.

Close your Liberkey and rename your L:\LiberKey\LiberKeyTools\KeyFileAssoc\KeyFileAssoc.xml (L is the name of your Liberkey's drive) in keyFileAssoc_old.xml for example.
Open L:\LiberKey\LiberKeyTools\KeyFileAssoc\bak . You must have files like L:\LiberKey\LiberKeyTools\KeyFileAssoc\bak\KeyFileAssoc_2012-07-11_13-14-12.xml .
Copy the most recent of them in L:\LiberKey\LiberKeyTools\KeyFileAssoc\ , then rename it in KeyFileAssoc.xml .
Restart your Liberkey.
Is the problem is solved ?

I restored my oldest backup and no it doesn't solve anything. Actually those associations haven't changed.

Here are the relevant sections:

Putting Firefox on top of the Actions list for the HTM and HTML type (not the http:// URL) will change make Start > Run... > www.example.com open via portable Firefox.

Have-you directly checked a default browser in it when you are using it?
It can have modified the registry parameters in Windows without the KFA actions.

A similar problem was solved here for Firefox : http://www.liberkey.com/fr/forums/support-fr/resolu-firefoxlkl-exe-comme-navigateur-par-defaut-2121.html.
Sorry, it's in the french section of the forum and now I've don't the time to translate, but with Google translation, for example, you'll probably can understand messages.

No problem with French (I'm French).

The default is working fine once I disable LiberKey association. Once enabled it seems that my default Chrome is replaced by LiberKey Chrome and I cannot even select the installed Chrome.

LiberKey association enabled:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\HTTP\shell\open\@default = "Open with Chrome (LiberKey)"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\HTTP\shell\open\command\@default = LiberKey Chrome
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\HTTP\shell\open_liberkey\@default = LiberKey Chrome

LiberKey association disabled:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\HTTP\shell\open\@default = (value not set)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\HTTP\shell\open\command\@default = Installed Chrome

I guess that means that LiberKey didn't detect a default HTML browser even though there is one.

Without access to the source code I cannot help much further. I'm not sure what is wrong as most extensions association work fine. There seem to be some kind of link between the protocol and the file extension association here.

Under KFA, for the HTTP association, please check you don't have the option "replace the current actions for this type of files" checked.

That doesn't solve: It still tries to open the LiberKey Chrome (instead of the default locally installed Chrome). That's to be expected from "replace the current actions for this type of files".

I confirm the issue for protocols (http, https, and probably all others) whatever the browser.

As a workrounded solution, I would recommed you to add a new action on the top of the others for http(s) protocols which link to %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

Cheers, I'll try that until a patch is released.

PS: It's quiet possibly broken by the recent browser fix.
