I am having problems viewing jpg files. i can only view them through the camera album. i cant just click on a picture to view it. i have to open pictures and videos and then go through all my pictures to find the one i want to view. it use to work and now it doesn't. when i select a picture i get the message "There is no application associated with "name of file." Run the application first then open this file from within the application." I have soft reset the phone 3 times and nothing has changed. i don't know what changed on the phone i haven't done anything but install a couple of games. does anyone have a clue or can point me in the right direction. i dont feel like wiping the phone and starting fresh again.
Open your file explorer and see if you can open "pimg.exe" in the Windows folder.
I can do that and it opens. I cant say go to my storage card with file explorer go into my pics and then just click on a pic to view it. thats when i get the message. i have to open up pictures and videos and the search thru them to find the one i want to view it. i was able to do that a few days ago and now i cant. the only thing i can think of that might have made a change was system mechanic and i did run that recently.
If you changed the default app for it, it may have caused a problem. There are 1 or 2 apps I know of that can change associated apps. Schap's adv config will do that. If that doesn't fix it, try the trial of resco explorer. It has an "open with" dialogue that allows you to set default apps. I'm not sure if it would stick after deletion though. I forget the name of the other app designed to change default apps, I used to use it in the PPC kitchen.
If nothing fixes, do a hard reset.

Its getting me closer to the answers i need.

Hi,
I'm sure there is somebody here that can help me. I've set up my SPV M5000 with some old programs, and they certainly messed up with the registry about file associations.
I can display jpg normaly, but if I try to see a jpg file (ie not embeded into a web page), I get the file save dialog. At first, it was registered to pimg.exe, and I tryed associating to to pocket painter for example, with no luck.
Anybody know the key to place to go back to a normal jpg displaying state for pocket ie?
TIA
I've the same problem.
Mine is the same but I've installed nothing that would affect the file associations...
I think perhaps it's just another of the joyful 'features' of Microsoft's wonderful Pocket Internet Explorer
Does it do the same with a gif or bmp?
V
That's exactly what I had on mine. I didn't get to the bottom of it, but instead did what vijay suggested and created a local html file with the jpg embedded. All I needed was to view a single jpg within PIE (from my webcam). This works fine, but is a workaround only for 1 jpg. I wouldn't want to do this for everything!
Surely one of the File Explorer tools can change the file associations?
I think the problem lies within PIE, when you click a pic it assumes its an attachment and so will save it,
I cant try atm but its worth trying to goto a pic directly ie,
http://www.website.com/picture.jpg
it may well display the image then, not sure, cant test atm. and its not going to be very useful when doing some normal browsing.
Same with Gif. I've teste on a K-Jam, and it display the picture properly in ie. I'm sure there is something messed up in registry
Found the solution
There is a CLSID value missing in HKCR/MIME/Database/Content Type/image/jpg and other gif and jpeg
Add a string value CLSID
{698E3FCA-70C3-11D0-81E8-00A0C90AD21A} and you are set.
@thaihugo
Won't work for me.
I've tried with PHM RegEdit but same behaviour as before.
Can you give us a screen shot of the correct registry key, please?
BTW:
There is another string "Image Filter CLSID" and
there is a "Bits"-key in /gif and /bmp and /jpeg but not in /jpg.
Are these needed too?
OK now it works.
What i've done is:
Created and copied the CLSID mentioned above into
image/bmp
image/gif
image/jpeg
image/jpg
image/pjeg
Copy the "Bits" from /jpeg to /jpg
Created a "Image Filter CLSID" in /jpg with the same content as found in /jpeg
Save, wait and Softreset. -> Works as intended!
I don´t know if i've done to much, but everything works now.
I'm happy. Thank you!
I though it was my programs that would delete this keys, but it seems you need to insert them also. Maybe it is a full system bug? A registry export might be of some help if some other report the same problem.
This still isn't quite working for me...
Can someone explain again EXACTLY what I have to do?
Hmm - interesting stuff - will have to try this.
I assume this isn't going to affect other JPG viewers, eg Opera???
I have the same problem on both Hima and Universal WM2006
Himalaya > TOFCLOCK HIMA WM6 AKU.0.7.0
Universal > Jwrightmcps 9000_WWE_21200_21207_11500
The registry solution proposed doesn't work for me, probably due a different CSLID. Any suggestion?
THX
Many thanks to CouchPotato
@CouchPotato
Thank youuuu, your step by step solution worked fine for me on BA (WM6)
bye,

I am trying to create a shortcut that opens the "pictures and video" application in a specific directory. The following shortcut does not work:
Code:
36#"\Windows\pimg.exe","\Storage Card\"
It returns an error "cannot load file"
Code:
36#"\Windows\pimg.exe","\Storage Card\*"
also returns the same.
Any ideas on how I can get pimg.exe to open pointing to a specific directory?
For example I know there is a command line switch for the camera "pimg.exe -camerakey". Does anyone know of any more?
no pointers at all?
i've noticed there is also a registry value which reverts back to /My Documents/ after every run of the app.
I might have to get a hex editor out on the pimg.exe file to check whether it's hard-coded.
I really hope you figure this out. I really want it to open to my Storage Card. :/

Can someone send the pimg.exe file to me? I can't seem to copy it from the windows directory.
Nobody found something ?
I do not use the in built picture viewer, it is both cumbersome and slow.
I use xnview pocket which is a much faster viewer and editor and its free. And of course can be set to storage card\my pictures easily by default. Give it a go - its free http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierre.g/xnview/enhome.html
Anyone know how to associate .txt & .doc files with Word?? Or associate a file type to a certain program??
I dont know what happened, some how they got disassociated with Pocket Word. But than a strange thing happened, I connected my 8125 to my PC and synced with it. I transferred a couple of .doc files over to it and somehow they got associated with Word :-/. I tried to do the same with .txt files but no luck.
Does anyone have any insight on this?
This really chaps my nipples as well.
On Pocket PC X-2003 you could go into file explorer and change file associations right there. Apparently now they don't give people the option by default. What happens when some shmuck program hijacks a filetype? When I saw this functionality missing on my Cingular 2125 Smartphone I wasn't too dissapointed, but it's rediculous that they took this off the PPC platform also.
I think you can still do this with various tweaking programs. Just make sure that they support WM 5 before even thinking about it. Not sure if you can find this in freeware or commercial. If you spot anything good that's freeware, please let us know.
RESCO Explorer can do it
Cheers
hrb
or you can have a look at the reg fr word, i have found powerpoint and excel, not sure where word is!!
I think gsfinder can do it, for free.
V
I couldn't find an option with GsFinder to associate apps...but i did one one with Resco Explorer.
Is there anway to change the icon to Pword for a file?? Its still the same as before, but it's working nonetheless. Thanx
GSFinder:
(Menu) - View > Options > File Types (tab)

Hi! I just checked out HD2's Remote Desktop client and it works perfectly on my Win7 box. Actually, it's the best mobile remote desktop client I've ever used!
There is only one minor flaw; is there no landscape mode, or am I just not seeing the option?
Give Gyrator a try. You can set which apps to allow auto-rotate or not.

Thanks for the tip. Although I Google'd a little and read that it doesn't work very well with the HD2.
Shouldn't this be as simple as a small registry tweak? I'm sure there is a value somewhere in the registry that makes Remote Desktop Mobile start in landscape mode.

I'm not certain why you are "sure there is a value somewhere in the registry that makes Remote Desktop [...]" because I know there IS NO such reg-value to make your app start in one orientation or another .
However, there is a registry entry to make it respond to orientation changes as perceived by the G-Sensor, then you can simply turn your device to sideways to switch your program between portrait/landscape/etc...
The easiest way is to use G-Config. The full manual procedure is to make new entries for your program as follows:
1. Navigate to reg key: "HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Module"
2. Create a new string reg-value with name of program, and its path for the value.
3. Navigate to reg key: "HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList"
4. Create a new string reg-value with the name of program, and its class name for the value.
5. RESET your device (turn off then on).
Hope this helps,
Cheers...

How do you use G-Config with a HD2? I thought it needed a stylus to recognize new applications.

My dear friend, there are SO many apps that do automatic orientation: the most versatile, easiest, and customizable is Change Screen. Get it off of the diamond/raphael forums. Otherwise look for:
Zensor2 (easier), Gsens(lighest), or gyrator (heaviest).
Cheers

What is its class name? I see its a different value for each program. When I want to add a new app, is there anyway I can find out for myself what its class name is?
Hi
download app "Change Screen 2.78".
once you install it set default rottation as portrait.it is important cos you don't want any other apps to rottate.(if you do want others,just set the exeptions)
Then go to exeptions and and create new with name "wpctsc" and set it only for landscape.now every time you start Remote Desktop it will be opened only in landscape mode.i use this app since i had my old Touch Pro and now i am using it on LEO and it always 100% worked for me.tried more of them but this one is far the best.
adding some pictures for you to help with settings.
hope that this will help you a bit.
Well, if anybody still needs it...
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName]
"Remote Desktop Mobile"="\\Windows\\wpctsc.exe"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
"Remote Desktop Mobile"="TSSHELLWND"
how do i find out class names for other programs?
Until we get another solution like Gyrator's neat stylus-out/stylus-in, you can check on the net or use a task manager. I personally use Dotfred's task manager, which shows window classes opened by a program (Applications tab/long tap on applications/Details button/Windows tab).
Now you need to find the right one (Usually the one with the window title, but not necessarily), and type it away.
Real quick example attached.

Great. It's was I needed.
I've just a problem with the keyboard language.
I'm French and Leo keyboard is in french. but when I connect to my Windows Server 2008 (also with a french version), the keyboard is detect as english and it's a big problem for key entry.
and changing Leo keyboard to english don't resolve the problem.
any idea?
I noticed that the keyboard has a shortcut to the browser. I put a pic to show what I'm talking about. Anytime I click on it, it takes me uses the Internet Explorer I was wondering if there was a way to change it so when I use it it takes me to Opera instead of Internet Explorer.
what you need to do is go into your windows folder with total commander or resco not file explorer and look for Short_Explore.lnk or Short_IE.lnk...push and hold on it and go to properties then shortcut, then change the target to the program location of what you want to use...
I think You must set Opera as your default browser.
jdmsleepr I tried to use total commander to do what you told me and one I choose the program I want to use and click ok and the file changes back to the default one.
AxlR how do I make Opera the default browser?
weird...mine never defaulted back...but to change the default browser...using a reg editor naviagate to HKLM\Software\microsoft\Shell\Rai\DEFBROWSER...change this to whatever browser you want to use!!
Well I kept trying nothing worked so far
it doesn't bug me that much just wish I could change the feature for quicker use.

Ok I'm kind of a noob at windows mobile how do I do this? HKLM\Software\microsoft\Shell\Rai\DEFBROWSER
And I downloaded the new beta for opera and it changed the browser for me but as far as the button on the keyboard it still goes to the ie browser.
