It's strange indeed. I can't even select Xara Pro + in the Choose default App by file type under Settings / Apps / Default Apps

caught up with the video
stand by what i said above
I can't say why windows has defaulted to the designerpro.exe that is ver 17, rather than the designerpro.exe that is pro+, but it would appear that it has
windows may not realise anything needs changing if the .exes have the same name
going into the registry and removing the associations should approach the problem from the other diredction, ie the program you want will tell windows to associate it [rather than windows thinking it alrady is associated]
hopefully

Nothing lasts forever...
just to clarify - this does not fix the issue of opening images in itself - what it should do is enable the routine that egg showed in the video to work with pro+, as windows will then see pro+ 'first' and not ver 17

Instead of delving in the registry and going through hoops; try Nirsoft's FileTypeManager (https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html)
and what exacttly does that do, apart from delve into the registry and make changes that you as a user have to take on trust ?

With that tool one can exactly specify which application will open a file with a specific extension. Or one can chang how the file will be handled by Windows.
You ask a lot of questions, Handrawn. It might be discouraging for users to help each other if one has to explain every suggestion.
if an offered solution is genuine, then no-one will mind it being queried
does it work for this issue? - have you tested it and verified

Hi.
If the contentiousness, arrogance, and signal-to-noise doesn't end with the latest post, I'll be forced to prune this entire thread and will not be happy for the time wasted.
These art stressful times for all of us, and there is no reason to port antagonism and verbal flosam over to tg.
Please think twice and post once.
I'm not open to discussing this any further
