Open Rhino 8 files - open with problem

[jeremy5 (Jeremy)]

@martinsiegrist

The perfect solution would be Windows opens the file with whatever version the file is. So Windows would try to open a V5 file with Rhino 5, a V7 file in Rhino 7 and V8 in Rhino 8.

Hi Martin,

You might like to try my minimalist RhinoFeeder utility. You configure it (via an ini file) to say which Rhino you want to open each 3dm file version and then change the app association for .3DM files to RhinoFeeder. Thereafter double clicking does what you ask. You can still right click to make a manual Rhino selection if you want to override the default behaviour.

This is v.2 of the app - it’s just been improved since the original version which can be found kicking around in a few old discourse posts. if you try it, please let me have feedback.

regards
Jeremy
