MPC How to save/set/store/export file associations?

[FredThompson]

How can the file association settings for MPC be made sticky? The best option would be something portable, like an INI file, that can be used on multiple computers. Both enabling and disabling need to be supported.

It looks to me as if the registry settings don't include this capability.

If I remember correctly, there is a checkmark for it in the options/player settings. Something like "Store settings to Ini File".

[FredThompson]

Ah, yes. I'd forgotten about that because it slows down loading. Maybe all that shaders junk at the end of the file is the real cause of the slowdown.

Nah, it's the fact that it reloads settings from the file about 50 times everytime you click something. MFC's default ini handling isn't very well designed.

I saw that discussion. I've been playing with a reduced ini file. The registry settings don't seem to have all of these so there's not much option to make things sticky.
