How it is done in TCUP during install? How can I make my custom file associations? Is there any tool which can make that job saving and restoring file associations easier?
Search PortableApps.com forums, there was something like this. IIRC you had to enter every single association manually, but besides this it's workable. Once it's configured, you can add associations to the registry with a few clicks.
A similar thing is OpenFileTC in TC UP, however it works only with a hotkey (F3, F4 by default) and only within TC UP - it doesn't use registry but own configuration files.
It's much more comfortable to configure because whenever you approach unknown file type it asks you what to do with it. Manual configuration is also better here. Also, it's much more professionally done, but has limited usage.
There's also a tool called cafe, it's similar to OFTC, but can be configured to work with any application. Instead of a hotkey, it captures double clicks. Return doesn't work.
TC is likely to have portable associations implemented somewhere in the future, but don't hold your breath, unless it's with TC 7.5 (only Ch. Ghisler knows full list of changes) it's gonna take a year or more.
