Windows Portable release bug: Open File with orange-canvas.exe

[Norsusan]

With the new version of Orange3 3.37.0 (Portable) we cannot open the files .ows with "Open with" orange-canvas.exe.

What would be the new exe to open the .ows files using Windows "Open With"?

How can we reproduce the problem?

What's your environment?

• Operating system: Windows 10 64 Bit
• Orange version: Orange3 3.37.0
• How you installed Orange: Portable

Did it work with previous version of the portable release and stopped when you upgraded or it never worked?

We did change the way the portable installer was made in the meanwhile because the old version had some (other) problems, mainly with add-on installations. But this looks as our error because I see references to orange3-installers\build\build\ in your error message.

AFAIK this never worked. The Scripts\orange-canvas.exe is created by pip during the creation of the installer and only works from the build directory.

Yes it worked with previous versions of the portable releases.

It worked with previous versions of portable Orange3. I think it has to do with the fact that in the new version, orange-canvas.exe cannot find python.exe.
