Fixed, and the AV suites finally stopped classifying my 32-bit build as malware Here it is:
Setup: http://papas-best.com/downloads/stlv...L%20Viewer.msi
Portable: http://papas-best.com/downloads/stlv...L%20Viewer.exe
Some people didn’t like the scroll wheel direction, so I added an option to customize it. It was also suggested that colors should be remembered – this can now be done via menu.
I didn’t forget that, but I’m struggling with the Installer creating the correct registry keys. In the meantime, if you’re willing to edit the registry, here’s how you do it:
- open regedit, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
- find the .stl folder
- the value (Default) has a name like netfabb.STL, papa_stl, or something alike
- now, still in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, find a folder of that exact name
- it probably has childs with names like DefaultIcon, shell, ShellEx, etc.
- in the shell sub-folder, create a Preview folder next to open
- in Preview, create a sub-folder command
- in the (Default) value of command, enter
"XXX" "%1"
where XXX is the path to Best STL Viewer.exe (for me it’s A:\Program Files\Papa’s Best\STL Viewer\Best STL Viewer.exe)
Snapshot for clarity:

It’s papa_stl in this example (because it’s my default program), but you really need to use the value from the .stl key.
Now you should have a Preview context menu which opens my STL Viewer. You might have to log off and on again in order to restart the Explorer.
Please explain to me how to...
