SKP file association gone
-
After I uninstalled SU 8, SU 2014 is no longer defaulted to open SKP files.
I've tried right clicking an a file and choose "Open with" and check the "always open with" but nothing seems to work.
Is there a registry entry that needs to be added? -
check the registry for key:
HKCR\SketchUp.Document\shell\open\command\(Standard);<short_name_path_to_sketchup>the key shows as:
C;\PROGRA~2\SketchUp\SKETCH~1\SketchUp.exe "%1"with the SU program directory residing in the "C:\Programs (x86)" directory (aka default).
alternatively re-installing SU14 should fix this issue too.

I've tried this also but it won't work.
I believe Mystic Thumb has taken control over the skp format. -
I don't like saying this but for me Mystics Thumbs is -1
I experienced nothing but trouble with it when it came to file associations.

I believe Mystic Thumb has taken control over the skp format.Have you tried default programs from the start menu. It is different for different version of windows?
-
Start SketchUp 2014 from the StartMenu.
Then close it. SketchUp always re-writes the file association when it closes.
(This causes multiple versions to "fight" over it.) -
Also the default value of
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\.skp
should be "SketchUp.Document" -
I went into the settings for Mystic Thumb and discovered it had a "file overide" enabled.
Unchecking it made SU2014 to open skp by default.
