SystemFileAssociations are ignored for PerceivedType

Post by lujomu »

According to this post Everything looks in the

Code: Select all

SystemFileAssociations\<Extension>
keys for PreviewHandlers, so I would assume it also checks those locations for a PerceivedType (like Windows Explorer does) - but it seems it does not.

E.g. adding the following registry value enables the preview for .log files in Windows Explorer, but not in Everything.

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.log]
"PerceivedType"="text"

Everything doesn't look under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.log

Instead, Everything looks under:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.log

Please try adding the "PerceivedType"="text" DWORD value here.


I'll look into adding support for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.log
