Make the default program of lightroom for raw files

I bought Lightroom 5 after the expiry of the trial version.  (I think that the version was 5.2, not sure.)  I had the real DVD with the activation code on the box.

Current operating system is Windows 7.

At first, I ran the internet updates (had a little trouble with the opening of DVD) and it loaded version 5.5, and I used the activation code.  Everything was fine, but when I try to open a raw (Sony/.arw extension) file, it gives me the possibility to use Lightroom as default program for this action.  He doesn't show any program, and when I go to browse and select it, it will always come to the top.

So, I uninstalled everything, rebooted etc., then load the DVD and the DVD got to work this time.  Again, I think that the 5.2 version came.  A to assign .arw files to Lightroom and - no problem.  Lightroom is presented as a program, as it had not before.  I then ran the update again to 5.5, and I'm running in exactly the same thing, where I can't fix LR as default.  Maybe the registry is not fair?  He just sees is more like a program in the option 'Open with' Lightroom (when I reinstalled, it wiped out the 'open with LR' I had attached the files.)  I can open Lightroom itself very well, but I can not simply by clicking on a raw file and open it.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem and why the earlier version was correct, but the update wiped out the 'Open with' option?

Thank you

Carmen

It is very common that LR should open pictures.

What happens is that LR opens LR catalogs, not images.  The images are imported after that LR started upward.  You can double-click a LR catalog, a .lrcat, a file, or you can drag - move a file of LR catalog on LR icon and either will open LR, but that's all.  If you have already opened an image with LR it would hang and be hard to fix.

I think maybe LR 1.x would automatically import images if you dragged their make, but which closed several versions ago.

LR can also be set to open when you insert a memory card, via a checkbox in the preferences.

You can also open LR via a shortcut, and then drag and drop a folder on the area of the main image in library mode and which will initiate an import.  It's actually what I'm doing for each import.

    You need Adobe raw camera 8.7 version. Unfortunately your software is earlier than the camera. ACR 8.7 is only compatible with PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG Converter to convert your raw files to the universal Raw format files and Adobe will be open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the software of the camera factory)

    Download Windows (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7

    Download Mac (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7

    You can convert an entire folder of images raw with a single click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • How can I make my default program for the Adobe Downloads?

    How can I make my default program for the Adobe Downloads?

    Set up the default program depends on the type of file you download, Ex:-PDF file open in Adobe Reader or Acrobat.

  • Cannot change the default program for opening .dll

    For some reason any, since I first linked the default program to open files .dll with Visual C++ 2010 Express (which is not truly attempt open, but instead of it gave me a message somewhere near the lines of "File not supported - Type does not open", incidentally) by chance I could not change since. I took a screenshot of the dialog box to try to change (URL below after all), but I noticed that the box was grayed out (the theme I have is a modified version of the classic Windows theme, but on 7, to clarify the operating system). I also tried to select a file after having hit the "Browse" button, but it didn't open anything. I tried several programs in the present to open, much less to change the default value (these are two notable examples): Netbeans - primarily an IDE for Java, but can open binary files even if she's not actually modify them (note: I changed absolutely nothing on any of them even if I has modified it to make it the default program but this problem affects more than just the ones) (, and it did not start until the last default) and Notepad. I went through the 'Open with' dialog box, and this is where I first encountered the problem of it (described above) outside the Control Panel, which it wouldn't let me change the association of file of it in particular, even if I didn't have one of these questions with any other type of file I tried to change, before or after this madness.
