Pocket ie try to save jpg instead of displaying them

[thaihugo]

Hi,

I'm sure there is somebody here that can help me. I've set up my SPV M5000 with some old programs, and they certainly messed up with the registry about file associations.

I can display jpg normaly, but if I try to see a jpg file (ie not embeded into a web page), I get the file save dialog. At first, it was registered to pimg.exe, and I tryed associating to to pocket painter for example, with no luck.

Anybody know the key to place to go back to a normal jpg displaying state for pocket ie?

TIA

I've the same problem. :(

[SiliconS]

Mine is the same but I've installed nothing that would affect the file associations...

I think perhaps it's just another of the joyful 'features' of Microsoft's wonderful Pocket Internet Explorer :(

Does it do the same with a gif or bmp?

That's exactly what I had on mine. I didn't get to the bottom of it, but instead did what vijay suggested and created a local html file with the jpg embedded. All I needed was to view a single jpg within PIE (from my webcam). This works fine, but is a workaround only for 1 jpg. I wouldn't want to do this for everything!

Surely one of the File Explorer tools can change the file associations?

I think the problem lies within PIE, when you click a pic it assumes its an attachment and so will save it,

I cant try atm but its worth trying to goto a pic directly ie,

http://www.website.com/picture.jpg


it may well display the image then, not sure, cant test atm. and its not going to be very useful when doing some normal browsing.

Same with Gif. I've teste on a K-Jam, and it display the picture properly in ie. I'm sure there is something messed up in registry

Found the solution

There is a CLSID value missing in HKCR/MIME/Database/Content Type/image/jpg and other gif and jpeg

Add a string value CLSID

{698E3FCA-70C3-11D0-81E8-00A0C90AD21A} and you are set.

@thaihugo
Won't work for me. :(

I've tried with PHM RegEdit but same behaviour as before.
Can you give us a screen shot of the correct registry key, please?

BTW:
There is another string "Image Filter CLSID" and
there is a "Bits"-key in /gif and /bmp and /jpeg but not in /jpg.
Are these needed too?

[CouchPotato]

OK now it works.

What i've done is:

Created and copied the CLSID mentioned above into
image/bmp
image/gif
image/jpeg
image/jpg
image/pjeg

Copy the "Bits" from /jpeg to /jpg

Created a "Image Filter CLSID" in /jpg with the same content as found in /jpeg
Save, wait and Softreset. -> Works as intended! :)
I don´t know if i've done to much, but everything works now.
I'm happy. :) Thank you! :D

I though it was my programs that would delete this keys, but it seems you need to insert them also. Maybe it is a full system bug? A registry export might be of some help if some other report the same problem.

[timetex]

This still isn't quite working for me...

Can someone explain again EXACTLY what I have to do?

[Riceburner]

Hmm - interesting stuff - will have to try this.


I assume this isn't going to affect other JPG viewers, eg Opera???

I have the same problem on both Hima and Universal WM2006

Himalaya > TOFCLOCK HIMA WM6 AKU.0.7.0
Universal > Jwrightmcps 9000_WWE_21200_21207_11500

The registry solution proposed doesn't work for me, probably due a different CSLID. Any suggestion?
