Have you read the documentation?

i was just reading tutorials, it seems there are no basal editor programs bound to the asset file

Cannot open an asset file which doesn't have a default program associated to it by the OS, we should probably have a modal show up instead of silently failing.

Hello,

as a newcomer to this engine I wanted to try this issue but it seems that is already fixed as I get Windows 11 chooser to select which program to open.

Is it already fixed or could it happen on another OS version?

[manio143]

I don't think it has been fixed so it may be OS dependant or file extension dependent, or user setting dependent (e.g. selecting auto-behavior for the dialog which shows up the first time) - would be interesting to see if we can get any feedback from the OS if file open resulted in an application being started.

Thanks for your answer. I will try to reproduce it during the day and try to see if I can provide a fix. Did not examine the code at the moment but I alway tought that a System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(file) would suffice.
