App Request - Revive Windows 8 File Associations in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

So I've noticed that in win 8 and 8.1, file associations, in terms of editing (icons and such) and deleting them have gone away and are no longer possible through the UI except though the registry editor. Why MS would take away something so basic, IDK? But it's left a great big hole in my life and windows experience. Since Start8 and ModernMix (not to mention Object Desktop Suite in general) have changed my windows 8 life to almost perfect, I was hoping you could breath some l

Does this mean that maybe someday soon we'll get a fab new version the beloved (at least by me) Stardock Central back to help manage our subscriptions, archives and update notifications? Please please PLEASE!

I have the same issue when using the Theme manager: I load a suite, works ok, looks like it should etc. I then open windowBlinds (using the right click 'setting' option) to lets say adjust the transparency setting, and well, it's not there on the list. Yet the theme manager lead me there. If I just go ahead and adjust the transparency setting (and nothing else) anyway, windowBlinds suddenly quits and the desktop is returned to the usual. I don't know how to ha
