Open With Markdown File Editor Fails
Windows 11, just installed and the preview works good and a lot faster than the others I have tried but when I right click a markdown file and hit Open With "Markdown File Editor" it says "Markdown File Editor not found". I would assume it is supposed to open in the bundled MDTextEditor.exe right?
Yes, there is an error. I'll investigate for the problem. You can also use "open as..." windows menu to associate .md extensions to the editor...
Thanks! Great product by the way, it has better markdown preview than microsoft powertools.

Hi! Could not have the markdown preview to work. It only shows an icon on the preview pane.
but all other files preview work fine as this .txt example
*.rtf *.doc, Excel spreadsheets, all appear well on the preview pane. Just *.md files don't. And MD fileeditor is the default program to open *.md files
Can you please help me to get MD files preview?
BTW
Maybe it was already solved but the open with... works fine in my Windows 11.
Sorry but I've no problem in my PC:
Try to uninstall, then clean manually C:\Program Files\Ethea\MDShellExtensions\MDShellExtensions.dll, then reinstall product.
Check if the C:\Program Files\Ethea\MDShellExtensions\MDShellExtensions.dll is of the correct version (2.3.1)
Thanks carloBarazzetta It works fine.
I've done all these steps from my Admin user account just in case 😊
Maybe that was my first mistake.
I think I've just installed MarkdownShellExtensions from my normal user account.
I was looking for a Windows Explorer .md files preview for a long time. Thanks for your reply.
I'm glad you solved the problem. Also try the editor, it's very convenient, I use it every day to update the documentation of my projects. If you are also a Delphi developer you can also use the MarkDownHelpViewer project to integrate Help into the application using the markdown format.
