DTT Tips Cannot Handle Windows Registry Files

[mhmallory]

I have a problem with displaying, importing, or cut paste of Windows XP formatted registry files. I thought it had to do with the size of a file, or the number of lines in a file, or the extension name used, but I found that it does not matter. The strange thing is that some .reg files are displayed correctly. I have attached some files which will illustrate the problem.

xp_reg_files.zip

Contains 2 examples which do not display correctly, one example which displays correctly

Hi mhmallory,
the correct file is in regedit 4 plain text format. The last two files are in regedit 5 unicode format (DTT actually can open only plain text files, not unicode).
For these unicode files you can create a new tips with DTT then paste the text by copy and paste from notepad to DTT.
