The DeployMaster installer issue prevents the user from seeing more
than nine of the 18 file extensions that CiderPress wants to handle,
and I don't want to go stomping on file associations without some
way to disable the behavior. So this returns to the previous behavior,
where CiderPress directly manages the file associations.
The CiderPress app is not able to modify HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (which
it used to do via HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT) on recent versions of Windows --
tested in Win7, but it probably broke with Vista. So now we do
everything in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. This works, more or less.
We're not looking at the Windows shell overrides, which are made
in yet another set of registry entries, so there are multiple
reasons why the values reported by the Edit Associations dialog may
now be inaccurate. I still favor eliminating the dialog as a
long-term strategy.
I took the opportunity to do some code cleanup in the registry code.
I also added calls to SHChangeNotify() to tell the Windows shell when
file associations change, so Windows Explorer windows get updated
promptly.
Many updates to format strings, largely as a result of changing
various "long" variables to uint32_t.
Fixed the diskimg debug macros for gcc, which requires an extra
"##" to remove the "," when there are no arguments. (Apparently
Visual Studio just strips this away for you.)
Stripped out a couple of dead variables spotted by gcc. Return
the actual error in a couple of HFS file functions.
This updates the project files for Visual Studio 2013, and removes
the old Visual Studio 6 (1998) project files. The update tool had
a number of complaints (see UpgradeLog.htm) that may need to be
addressed.
Also, replaced .cvsignore with .gitignore.
Visual Studio reports 1886 build errors, nearly all of them due to
the switch from MBCS to Unicode. The former is no longer
supported "out of the box", and its use is discouraged, so we're
going to bite the bullet and use wide characters in the UI.
