Hi all,
Since installing an update for my Studio 2019, I dont's see the Trados icon any longer near Trados files that I receive or create, like project files, but only the blank page icon. When clicking on the files, I can't open them, but I can still open them from Studio. When trying to click on them and selecting "open with", I can't find Trados anywhere!

Any Idea how I can fix this without reinstalling the software?
I run Studio on my Mac with bootcamp. Thank you in

Right click on a file in question to get up a menu Sep 16, 2020

When you get the menu, click on
Open in
Choose another app (at the bottom of the menu)
If Studio is not mentioned in the list, you would have to scroll down to the bottom, where it says "More app".
Browse to Studio and choose it.
In the menu "How do you want to open the file?" you tick "Always use this app to open xxx-files" (where xxx is the type of file in question)

I hope this will help you.¨
I would have liked to include some screendumps, but

I would have liked to include some screendumps, but I hope the above still is some help.

Repair Studio Sep 16, 2020

I had the same issue recently. There are too many different specific icons in Studio to simply assign them by the 'Open with' method. I suggest that you repair Studio. I have no idea how it works on Mac, but on PC you should select 'Uninstall/Change' in Programs and Features to invoke the repairing wizard. This will restore all Studio-specific icons.

Thank you Sep 16, 2020

Thank you both, I think I really need to repair it, as Stepan suggested. I'll finish a big job and then I'll give it try.

Hi Stepan,
I have done as you said and it worked. You made my day, thank you very much. I had no idea you could repair installations!
