"Open with GitKraken" shell extension doesn't work

Question

I installed GitKraken yesterday and it works fine. I also noticed that when I rightclick a folder in Windows Explorer, I have an "Open with GitKraken" option. But when I click that, I get a messagebox saying:

This file doesn't have a program associated with it for performing this action. [etc]

How do I fix this?

Edit: I don't see how this is too broad...

Answer 1

Open the Windows registry editor and go to key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\GitKraken\command.

The default value will be set to something like: "X:\Users\username\AppData\Local\gitkraken\update.exe" --processStart=gitkraken.exe --process-start-args="-p %L"

Switch the last parameter from %L to %V, i.e., the command should be: "X:\Users\username\AppData\Local\gitkraken\update.exe" --processStart=gitkraken.exe --process-start-args="-p %V"
