Topic: How to stop automatically converting?

Everytime I want to edit a bin/cue Ultraiso automatically converts it into an iso file. How can I stop it so it just directly opens the bin file without converting?

UltraISO does open .BIN/.CUE file directly, no convertion did.

PS: You can open Data/Audio/Video/Mixed Mode/CD Extra images in .BIN/.CUE format. If you want to edit the image, UI will save to a new .BIN/.CUE (You can change the format on 'Save As' dialogue) file, the original one keeps unchanged.

Mine does automatically convert!

Do you open your .BIN image by Double Clicking? A 'Convert to ISO' action is associated to .BIN file by default.

Please start UltraISO first, then use 'File'->'Open' to load it.

PS: We will fix this problem at next release.

When do you think that might be?

I think UltraIso is an excellent program ... but having the default action for .bin files as "convert to iso" is perhaps the worse default change I've seen.  

Opening bin files is my most common use of Ultra Iso, ie. double clicking on a bin file to see it's contents.  So atm the current version of UltraIso has gone from being one of my favourite programs to one I currently have stopped using.  I'm surprised more people haven't commented on this change.

Is it possible for users to change the default action themselves (instead of waiting for the next version).  Can we change it ourselves by changing the following line (via Folder Options / Registered File Types)?

"C:\Program Files\UltraISO\UltraISO.exe" -bin2iso "%1"

What do we have to change that line to?

Thanks

Yes, you can change it to "C:\Program Files\UltraISO\UltraISO.exe" "%1".

BTW, you can also get a version from  < http://www.ezbsystems.com/dl1.php?file=uiso7_me.exe >, which has fixed this problem.

Thanks for that.

I tried that change b4 I posted ('cos it seemed the obvious one) and it didn't work.  Something must have gone astray ... because I tried it again just then, but this time after first uninstalling and reinstalling ... and now the change works.  Thanks
