Don't just change it willy nilly to the pointless magnet handler of ApexDC++ ASK THE USER!

I changed the permissions on the registry key for the magnet uri handler to read only.
 
Now the setting stays, but the "System Log" gives me this on every start.
 
[10:27:44] Error creating magnet registry key
 
Here is my current registry key
 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesmagnet]
@="URL:MAGNET URI"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesmagnetDefaultIcon]
@="C:Program Files (x86)Delugedeluge.exe"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesmagnetshell]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesmagnetshellopen]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesmagnetshellopencommand]
@="C:Program Files (x86)Delugedeluge.exe "%1""

Is it not possible to disable this stupid behaviour?

Hi Aztek :)

 

Yes, it's under Advanced settings: "Install magnet URI handler on startup"

THANK you!

 

Why is this on by default?!

WHY is the user not prompted?!

We could change this in our 2.0 startup wizard. Thanks for the suggestion! 

 

Nice to see you around again. ;)

Hello  :) I'd like to know if there's been any progress on the Mac version? I love ApexDC++ on Windows and dream of a day when I can use it on both of my favorite platforms  :D
