LaunchBar Commander / Open using default program eg .doc
« on: September 06, 2018, 09:01 AM »
After 20 years of using the Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar, I now find it doesn't work in W10. After days of searching and installing all sorts of dancing launch bars, I finally found what I thought must exist somewhere ... Launchbar Commander. It's looking good and working well, so thank you to all who've spent time developing it over the years.
I have a query though. I have a Directory link which allows me to drill down into folder before finally clicking on a file to open it ... except it doesn't open ...
I've got .docx files - they open. Other files open too, although I've not tried all variations. However, I've got loads of .doc files and they don't open.
In W10 I've set Word as the default and if I d-click on a .doc in Explorer it opens as expected. So why doesn't LC know what to do with it ?
I've tried the Tools>Maintenance Operations and I've reinstalled LC but still it doesn't work.
The .docx in the attached clip works: the .doc doesn't.
Can anyone advise please ?
