I don't know what the hell I did but when I can't open pk3 or wad files with gzdoom.exe
When I select "open with" and then gzdoom.exe, it does nothing, goes back to the selection screen of windows to choose an application to open the file with.
I had the folders like this
port/gzdoom-bin-3-1-0-x64
port/gzdoom-bin-3-1-0a-x64
I was using gzdoom-bin-3-1-0a-x64 and when I took a screenshot I realized that it was getting saved in gzdoom-bin-3-1-0-x64, so I dont know what the hell I did but now I cant open the damn thing with gzdoom.exe anymore
Im using windows 7
I can't "open with" pk3 or wad files with gzdoom.exe

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Windows' handling of double-click actions has only gotten more broken over the years. I'd suggest installing a launcher like ZDL, ZDE, or Rocket Launcher instead, and setting that up as your Open With instead.

Yep it seems somehow it glitched due the two folders and now it gets confused and doesnt accept any gzdoom.exe for some reason.wildweasel wrote:Windows' handling of double-click actions has only gotten more broken over the years.

Anyway can you point me to the official links of these launchers? I dont want to download malware from the wrong place. Also what is the best launcher from these 3?
