Could be nice to have an option for adding "Open with FFDec" into the Windows context
menu.
State: new→opened
version 1.6.4 was released
this was added, try it
State: opened→upgraded
Doesn't work on win8 x64.
I see add ffdec to menu option selected in FFdec, but see no such menu in Explorer.
Maybe I need to run FFDec as admin?..
Program should rerun itself with Admin rights (Admin rights dialog should pop out)
Have you seen the dialog after you clicked menu option?
Can you try it again and attach log.txt file?
(c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\JPEXS\FFDec\log.txt)
Do you have 32bit or 64bit JVM?
State: upgraded→returned
I have uac disabled - I see no such messages...
I tried to disable\enable that menu item but there is nothing in log.txt at all (0
bytes).
I have both JVMs, FFdec runs using 64 bit one.
The following registry entries should be added when association is enabled:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\ffdec.exe\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Projectek\\ffdec\\FFDec\\ffdec.exe\" \"%1\""
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.swf\UserC
hoice]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.swf\UserCh
oice]
"Progid"="Applications\\ffdec.exe"
and the following (to remmove), when disabled:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\ffdec.exe]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.swf\UserC
hoice]
"Progid"="Applications\\ffdec.exe"
It doesn't requires any elevated permission.
honfika: Does this work in older Windows too?
focus: Please open registry editor (regedit.exe), export following keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.swf
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.swf
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash
and attach it here (.reg file), thank you
Sure. Attached sontext.png with current .swf files context menu items I have.




Sorry, i dont know. I tried it on Win7 x64.
Attached the requested registry entries. Currently swfs are associated with your program
(not with flex)
These files are workin on winxp and win7.
In add.reg in the following line
"a"="ffdec.exe"
"a" should replaced with the next unused letter.
This letter should be appended to MRUList value
Remove clears every swf associations and ffdec entries form registry, so it is just for
testing.
add and remove works on Win8.1, too, but setasdefault.reg not.
I can test yout final release or an onofficial build on this 3 systems if you send me the
jar file.

focus: version 1.6.5 was released. This should be better, try it.
State: opened→upgraded
Still not working for me =(
Tried to run ffdec.exe with admin rights - no success too (
Do you have 64bit JVM or 32bit?
State: upgraded→returned
I have both installed. FFDec runs with 64bit one.
focus:
Can you export and attach "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.swf"
registry branch, please?
Your attached ".swf.reg" seems to lead to
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.swf"
or is this correct?
focus:
Please ignore previous post, I see now, there is second file with that branch in your
post.
Now:
1) Please close any regedit.exe you are running, then open 32bit regedit.exe, which is
placed in
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regedit.exe
2) from 32bit regedit.exe, export again these branches:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.swf
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.swf
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash
3) Attach it here, Thanks
focus:
4) Download and run 64bit version of Shell Menu View - http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html
And tell me whether there is "Open with FFDec" menu name.
5) Do the same with 32bit version of Shell Menu View.
6) ???
7) Solution
Hey, I attached it before as .swf_classes_root.reg
Sorry, ignore my previous post too)
Here are those files from 32 bit regedit.
I see "Open with FFDec" in 64 bit Shell Menu View version.
And I see it in 32 bit version as well.
hmm, I am out of ideas. I don't know what to do with it.
Context menu seems to be registered all right (registry, Shell Menu View)
but you still do not see it in Explorer.
I have Win8 64bit too and everything works ok.
I see Sothink registry key in your REG files, but in the screenshot, there is no sothink
in context menu too,
so at least my decompiler does the same think as Sothink :-).
Can anyone help?
honfika: Files you posted earlier lead to file association(double click file), we want
only context menu here.
Oh, I guess you're right - something wrong on my machine, it really should work. I see
some other extension-specific Shell Extensions are not working too, I'll investigate it
further.
Btw it seems that context menu integration doesn't work on my win7x64 either...
I tried this on Windows 8 64bit (My laptop), didn't work at all. But it works good with
Windows 7 64bit (My desktop).
This is How I do it in FFDec,
If someone knows what is wrong, tell me:
1) if not exists key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.swf then create it with value
"ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash"
2) className = get value of key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.swf (usually
"ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash")
3) if not exists key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\<className> then create it with
value "Flash Movie"
4) if not exists key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\<className>\shell then create it
5) if not exists key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\<className>\shell\ffdec then
- create it with value "Open with FFDec"
- create subkey command with value '"<path>\ffdec.exe" "%1"'
Additionally Add to OpenWith list in Windows 8:
A) Create key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Applications\ffdec.exe\shell\open with
value "Open with FFDec"
B) Create subkey "command" with value '"<path>\ffdec.exe" "%1"'
C) Add new letter to MRUList value of
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.swf\OpenWit
hList
D) Create key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.swf\OpenWit
hList\<letter>
E) Set its value to "ffdec.exe"
Seems that I've searched it wrong way. FFDec creates the shortcut in submenu "Open with"
but I thought it should be on top.
So, to make it on top (like Wirar) I've made and imported this reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.swf\Shell\JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler]
"Icon"="\"O:\\Downloads\\ffdec\\ffdec.exe\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.swf\Shell\JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler\Command]
@="\"O:\\Downloads\\ffdec\\ffdec.exe\" \"%1\""
I believe you doing it right - I see some other .swf-related ShellExtension are not
working on my Win8 x64, but all .dll, exe, rar, etc. shell extensions work just fine.
Something wrong with .swf Shell extensions on my machine.
"FFDec creates the shortcut in submenu "Open with"" - I even have no FFDec in Open with
menu =(
I need to punch some faces at M$.
Huh, thanks for hint about SystemFileAssociations! (WTF BTW?!)
I finally got it in context menu with this:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.swf\Shell\JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler\Command]
@="\"D:\\Soft\\Reversing etc\\Flash\\ffdec\\ffdec.exe\" \"%1\""
focus: Could you please export whole key "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.swf"
and attach here? It already existed before you modified it, or not?
State: returned→opened
version 1.7.0 was released
this was improved, try it
State: opened→upgraded
Still not working for me =(
I removed all manual integration I did previously and tried to enable it in FFDec, but it
doesn't work (I tried to start FFDec as admin too).
(I checked HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.swf - nothing there)
State: upgraded→opened
version 1.7.0u1 was released.
this should be fixed
State: opened→upgraded
YEY!!! I see it in context menu: http://i.imgur.com/zcsLfeF.png
Not sure if it should have icon or not though.
Great!
I didn't add any icon.
