The file handlers need to be registered with Windows, so you'll need to either install the application (if the file handler comes bundled with the app), or install the standalone file handler. For example, Adobe provides standalone file handlers for searching PDF's (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2611, and http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025). Once you install those, FileSeek will automatically load them the next time it starts up.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/file-handlers-from-a-new-user/?ID=37323ae5-d7c2-4219-9c92-2e0c9377cd40 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:00:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/file-handlers-from-a-new-user/?ID=37323ae5-d7c2-4219-9c92-2e0c9377cd40 FileSeek I am using a number of portable applications for pdf, doc, txt and other file types. So far as I can tell, they do not include file handlers.

Do I have to find file handlers for installable apps? Do I need only the file handler or the complete app? And how do I import the file handlers into FileSeek?

Thanks for your help. ]]>
