Hello.
I cant found how to set a priority for custom file association... for example all .exe extensions I need optionally open in custom software, but not broke default executable priority in same time. At first executable as by default, second open with I want.

thanks

The order they are in in the list is the priority order, top to bottom, if you only want a association to be shown in the open with list, not loaded by default prefix it with a pipe symbol = |

You mean the usage of the pipe symbol? Ofc it is

You can define associations that should only be listed in the POM, but not be triggered on "open". It's done by simply prefixing the | (pipe) character to the PFA. The following example allows you to have this PFA enabled and listed in the POM:
|exe;dll>::copytext <curname> <curver>
while double-clicking an EXE file will still run the EXE, and not the PFA.

Execute this from the address bar:

Code: Select all
