Checkboxes of File associations list are confusing

[mkahvi]

System info:

• ImageGlass version: 5.0.5.7
• OS version: Windows 7 64-bit

Expected behavior:

File associations are saved.

Actual behavior:

File associations are not saved.
Settings window simply closes after saving and on subsequent opening or restarting of IG the associations are empty again.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start IG, Go to settings -> File associations
2. Select anything
3. Apply & save

Other info:

This happens with both portable and non-portable, though I assume it's expected for the former.
Running as admin makes no difference (except that my other settings are different for some reason?).

Hi @mkahvi

I think it's a bit confusing that the checkboxes are just for "selection mark" only, means when you select a row, the corresponding checkbox is also selected.

I will remove the checkboxes in next version.

All the file extensions that showing in the list are "saved" already. You can add and remove it.

Even if I have them selected only, without touching the checkboxes, the associations are not saved. Everything still keeps being opened by the previously associated image viewer, which does not automatically re-associate them.

If you make change of the extensions list, you will need to click on Set as Default photo viewer button to register to Windows.

Then ImageGlass will appear in the list of default app.
