Mediamonkey erzwingt sich Programmstandards!

[Rüdiger Genervt]

Hallo MM Community,

habe ein großes Problem mit MM seit dem Update auf Version 4.0.3 Undzwar erzwingt sich MM bei jedem Start Programmstandards.

Benutze außer für Musik den Zoom Player und möchte diesen auch mit allen Standards versehen, doch das geht leider nicht, da jedes mal wenn ich dies einstelle beim nächsten Start von MM die Meldung kommt: " Möchten Sie zulassen, dass dieses Programm Änderungen an Ihrem System vornimmt... mediamonkeycom Elevator..." Nun habe ich die Möglichkeit dies zuzulassen, was MM als Standard für z.B. für avi Videos macht, oder es abzulehnen, was ohne den Prozess mit einem Task Manager zu killen gar nicht geht.

Ist dies ein bekanntes Problem und gibt es dafür eine Lösung? Denn so ist der gute alte Mediaaffe für mich nutzlos...

Tools > Options > OS Integration.

Thank you! But still a stupid new feature to me. I use MediaMonkey for 5 years now and have never been missing a feature like that...

Still works the same as before, in MediaMonkey 3 it was Tools > Options > File Types.

The file types option is not new, but the feature that checks if all selected files there are still associated with MM is, or now new set by default. I think it should not be set by default. Because oft that agressive way to enforce file type associations mediamonkeycom.exe was even rated as malware in a big german security forum.

[Lowlander]

That is a really common option in software (all browsers do it). And as it is an option. It seems the forum is unfair and jumped to conclusions.

A) You're not forced to associated any file types with MediaMonkey
B) You're not forced to re-associate on startup, but for most this is useful as they didn't associate MediaMonkey with certain file types for nothing.
C) On first run you're asked with which file types you want to associated MediaMonkey, you can deselect all

The change with MediaMonkey 3 is that the file type association was asked in the installer, whereas MediaMonkey 4 has a wizard on first start asking this and some other basic settings. Many seem to skip/OK this step and then get upset that associations were set. This process has been fine tuned for 4.0.3.
