Thanatomanic:
1: Correct.
2: Correct.
3: No, I can NOT open files with any version of RawTherapee after 4.2 on this particular Windows 7 installation. Yes, Windows is fully updated.
4: If by âcontext menuâ you mean âright clickâ; the problem is already with RT 4.2 I need to use right click to open raws. But not even that works with now 5.6.
(Morganâs blame the user first wins him no respect from me. Itâs lazy and arrogant to have not asked for example âany other problems with this Windows C drvie?â, the answer is ânoâ.)
5: Iâm well aware of how RT 5.5/5.6 works on Windows 7. Since RT 5.5 installed correctly on one Win 7 C drive clone. This is after years of failures since 4.2.
Your last paragraph:
I canât say whether itâs a general problem. Itâs years old. As I said already every version of from 4.3 to 5.4 had it for me. It was only fixed with my primary Windows 7 clone with the release of 5.5. Then say a few days a later I put my other Win 7 clone in and attempted to install RT 5.5, and it had all the failures listed by me above.
