double click starts empty editor

[Tikimaster]

After a total loss of my mainboard I am happy to get VPX back. I am on a fresh Windows 11 and my complete installation is at the same place as before, so I only had to register the components to get everything working again. Puhh!!
I tried "open with" to connect a *.vpx file to my VPinballX.exe - but - If I double click on a table file, the editor opens empty and does not load the table file. I have to open the table with file/open.

The other Problem is with right click. ( I hate Windows 11) On my old windows, which is dead, I could right click on a table and chose edit or open.
Can anyone help me to get these functions back?

Had to go through the same thing in a recent computer move. You need to edit the registry like so;

Ok. I will try this. Can you please mark your edit and your edit Pov keys and send me the reg file? I don´t have these settings and would like to import them (after edit) thanks cliffy..

I have this line:
"D:\Visual Pinball\VPinballX.exe" -play "%1"
double click still opens the empty editor

Ok, I double checked the entrys, I got no mistake. Have the same settings now - with my path. - But there is no edit with right click and double click still opens the empty editor.
My Frontend opens tables without problems. (PinballY) No Idea what the problem is. I hate Windows 11.

did you already associate vpx files with vpinballx.exe? 

[Tikimaster]

Yes I did. Thats the reason why windows opens vpx.

I made a backup of vpin folder. Then installed 10.7.2 with installer and copied back all files from backup. Now it works. Puhh.
But: I have different entries. I post them here, maybe someone other can use this info:

i have the same problem for a long time. thankfully i found this. Still stuck though. I edit the ( -ExtMiniMized -play ) because that was missing in my registry. Then i went to the table folder, clicked on a table. It asked Wich program you want it to open with ? So i entered pinballX_GL.exe. Then i came again at an empty vpx editor. And my registry line was back to the old line again.
