Hello Octavio,

ok - so here's a possible solution from our support team for this problem.  It involves Registry Editing (removing):

Check HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.sdlppx and see where it points – it should be SDL.TradosProjectPackage.1 but in some cases it was changed to sdlppx_auto_file

If you find this you can try to correct it to point to SDL.TradosProjectPackage.1 or  just remove both .sdlppx and sdlppx_auto_file then repair Studio.

This should correctly recreate the Registry keys.

An alternative would be to check if sdlppx_auto_file has the command

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio4\SDLTradosStudio.exe" /openProject "%1"

It might be

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio4\SDLTradosStudio.exe" /openDocument "%1" which is incorrect.

Studio 4 is the Studio 2015, if 2014 then use Studio3.

Regards

Paul

Check in the Registry Editor that the command looks like this and if not, adapt it:

Thanks Walter,

I logged in a support request and they suggested I reestablish the file association as follows:

1.Go to: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations
2.search for .sdlppx file type
3. Select .sdlppx and hit "change program" button.
4. Depending on your OS version, the value data should be: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio4\SDLTradosStudio.exe"

At point 3, however, .sdlppx was already associated to Studio, so I chose "Look for another app on this PC" and I entered the full program name (without quotes).

That must have reset the association because the icon changed from the blue Studio icon to a white toaster with a green arrow, and now double-clicking works correctly again.

I suspect that this procedure appends the correct /openPackage "%1" switch, like you suggest in your answer.

Hi Roman,

Did you try this running a repair installation to force the reassociation, do it via the windows control panel?

If you did and that also failed try this one which involves Registry Editing (removing):

Check HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.sdlppx and see where it points – it should be SDL.TradosProjectPackage.1 but in some cases it was changed tosdlppx_auto_file

If you find this you can try to correct it to point to SDL.TradosProjectPackage.1 or  just remove both .sdlppx and sdlppx_auto_file then repair Studio.

This should correctly recreate the Registry keys.

An alternative would be to check if sdlppx_auto_file has the command

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio4\SDLTradosStudio.exe" /openProject "%1"

It might be

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio4\SDLTradosStudio.exe" /openDocument "%1" which is incorrect.

Studio 4 is the Studio 2015, if 2014 then use Studio3.
