New 3.7 bug: If Mu3.7 is running, clicking on MSCZ file fails to open

• Oct 16, 2024 - 03:53

I click on an MSCZ file, and it launches Musescore and opens the file. I click on another, and it doesn't.
Or:
I launch Musescore (empty). I click on an MSCZ file, and it does not open.
This happens using File Explorer (and Z-Tree) in Windows 10 & 11
Observed in v3.7.0.11299493561 - ba6d337 and later (64-bit).

3.7.0.11258847346, 009a9bd and earlier work OK.

LMK if I should enter this in GitHub.

First, I did this once, months ago: I unzipped the folder inside the 7z (eg, MuseScore-3.7.0.7099354748-x86_64) into G:\APPS, then renamed it "MuseScore-3.7.0". Then I right-clicked an mscz file, then "Open with" then "Choose another app", then I navigated to G:\APPS\MuseScore-3.7.0\bin\MuseScore3.exe

Now, whenever I want to update MuseScore-3.7, I delete the MuseScore-3.7.0 folder in G:\APPS, unzip the latest folder (eg, MuseScore-3.7.0.11343013698-x86_64) into G:\APPS, then rename it to "MuseScore-3.7.0".
