Hi! I downloaded a zipped up directory from another guy that had a nice interface configuration for f2k.

I unzipped it in my f2k installation directory and everything is working all right.

I have one problem though. The "Enqueue in foobar" and "Play in foobar" right-click shell integrations are not working anymore.

Does anybody know how to make them work again?

Thanks in advance. smile.gif

Yes. It didn't help.

Anyone? It shouldn't be hard...

Did you try removing associations first, then re-associating everything?
When the associations are properly made, the shell integration should also happen.

Is it really true? I thought, the shell integration is an option which is set at the time of FB2K's installation and that's the only moment you can make it work. That would be strange if you had turned the shell integration off and then after re-associating file types, the option would have momentally moved into shell menu...

If it's true in any case, I don't know. But it's certainly true here. On my PC, running fooassoc.exe and making or removing file associations does also add/remove the right-click shell integration. My current "installation" of foobar2000 0.8.3 was not done with an installer (EXE), it's just a folder copy.

edit - The shell integration options are being added/removed in the registry by fooassoc.exe (this could also be done manually, if you know the right keys). I don't see why the initial installation would be the only time these options could be changed...

OK, IC smile.gif

Ok, I'll give it a try and report back.

Thanks for the help so far. smile.gif
gorman
Yes it worked.

1) Set associations to nothing. Press OK.

2) Relaunch fooassoc.exe and set associations to whatever your preference might be. Press OK.

That does the trick.

Thanks a lot! biggrin.gif
