Algodoo starting up

Postby InfinityPlayer » Sun Sep 23, 2012 7:14 am

I'd like to know if there is a setting i can set in Algodoo that would allow the program to open when i've downloaded a scene online and opened it in Algodoo. I hope there is, cos it's annoying to do it manually. I suppose i'm a little lazy for having the need to ask this, but i just wanna know if it's possible. :problem: :oops:

There is an icon like this one on the left bar in Algodoo. It opens the Algobox browser. Hopefully, that's what you are looking for.

No, that's not it. I mean when i download a scene from an external browser, then click on it to open it from the download dialog. Then i'd like it to open the scene in Algodoo, and put Algodoo in the front. I know about the icon you are refering to, but that's for use inside Algodoo.

Just associate .phz files with algodoo?
This is done by the windows installer by default, but you may need to manually reset it if something changed it.

Just right click on a .phz file in Explorer, and select to chose what application those files open with, and that should sort it out.

Do you want a download dialog to show up with an "open with" option? If yes, what browser are you using?

you can set your browser to always open .phz files. that will cause them to be opened in Algodoo
