Cannot Open .ui files from Visual studio

[Ohmslaw79]

Describe the bug
After updating to the latest 3.3.1 release I can no longer open .ui files in QT designer from within visual studio. If I double click on the file it opens it as a text file, and if I right click and use open with to force it to use QT designer I get an error box saying that QT designer cannot open that file type

To Reproduce
Try to open a .ui file using the latest 3.3.1 release

Expected behavior
It should open the file in QT designer

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Qt VS Tool Version 3.3.1

Additional context
I have verified that downgrading to 3.2.0 resolves the issue, and upgrading back to 3.3.1 re introduces the problem

Hi, I wonder what items are available in the context menu of Visual Studio. Is the default editor named Qt Widgets Designer or just Qt Designer?

[Ohmslaw79]

It is Qt Widgets Designer

I am still encountering this issue in version 3.3.1.1. Has this been fixed in this version, or will it be addressed in a future release?

Unfortunately it is not yet released, but we will soon.

This is still broken as of this writing.

A workaround is to manually add Qt Designer to the list of available programs (i.e. browse to its EXE file) and then set that as the default. For whatever reason, that works just fine.

For the benefit of anyone else trying to search online for this issue, the text of the error message is: "The file cannot be opened with the selected editor. Please choose another editor."

@DavidJCobb, we have an updated package available here that should contain a fix for the issue: Qt Add-in Download.
