Request - Default Programs Editor
Posted: 03 Aug 2015 04:10
It may sound silly, but I've spent 8 hours around this and came up with nothing.
The idea: a simple interface thru which a list of extensions could be parsed and a default program defined for them.
The problem: for instance I see lists like
http://superuser.com/questions/664543/c ... t-programs
but there are information on not every program being able to register itself into modern Windows'es - and that being an issue on internal design, ie, no workaround would work.
The ridiculous: even trying to "set this program as default", one file type at a time, fails for a particular app (irfanview portable).
I've came across few programs which could deal with the issue, but I'm not satisfied with any. One was caught trying to phone home.
Thanks in advance.
