File type association does not work

[amp]

Although in windows, PHP files are associated correctly with Dreamweaver, when open/edit or view/edit are clicked in local site and remote site browsers respectively, the file association does not work and an error is displayed. (FileZilla V. 3.6.0.2_win32)

Error Message

I'm not able to reproduce the error message you are seeing. Would it be possible for you to export the contents of register keys "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes" and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes" as .reg files and attach them to this ticket?

These keys contains settings for file associations and will hopefully help me reproduce the problem.

Unfortunately, the size of exported files for those paths are much more than 256 KB uploading limit. Even compression of the files didn't help. If it is possible indicate deeper paths in the registry.

Please try the following instructions which will limit the amount of data:

1. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT within the registry
2. Look for a key called ".php"
3. Export this key.
4. Note the data of the "Default" value for this key. For me this is "php_auto_file" but this will probably not be the same for you.
5. There should be a key present with the same name as the data of the value found in step 4 ("php_auto_file" in my example). Locate and export this key as well.

Thank you for indicating more detailed paths. I uploaded the files.

amp: Thank you for attaching the files. It allowed me to reproduce the problem.

Attached is a patch which solves the problem for me.

Thanks for the patch gronsaken. I've opted for a different solution that better handles paths containing # and commas.
