Opening Sailwave File attched to e-mail

Imported from Yahoo
1

When I e-mail a Sailwave file it fails to open when clicking on the attachment in Thunderbird. Sailwave open, but with no series open. If I detach the file and open it is fine. I have no idea if this a Thunderbird or Sailwave issue.

Hi Bob,

Interesting - Which Version and OS are you using

I tried in XP and right clicking a .blw file and selecting open would open it in Sailwave

I tried in then in Windows 7 64 bit and it opened Sailwave but did not load the file

What it needs to fix it is a registry change

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\sailwave.exe\shell\open\command]

@="“C:\Program Files (x86)\Sailwave\sailwave.exe” open="%1""

You can either make this change to the registry the entry should be there but may be the open= is missing

or simply

download this file SW-associate.reg

and double click it and it will update the registry for you.

Let us know how you get on

Hi Jon,

I am using Windows 7 SP1 , Thunderbird 17.6 and Sailwave 2.8.5.

Tried Register mod and it makes no difference. Behaviour exactly as you descibe.

Hi Bob,
If you right click on a .blw file from the windows explorer and select open does it open Sailwave with the file loaded or just Sailwave and no file?

If once Sailwave has opened go to Menu - Help - Log book

The first entry should be CmdLineFile= xxxxxx

Can you tell me what is displayed for the xxxxxx if anything

Thanks

Jon
