I have file extentions associated with Emacs. However Microsoft has made
some change, so my filetype association does not work in a good way.
The handling of default apps is changed in Windows 10. "Default apps"
refers to the way that Windows maps file types and protocols (like HTTP)
to the Windows applications they open by default.
When I double click on a file with .myext I am getting a dialoge with a
selection between two idential alternatives,"GNU Emacs: The extensible
self-documenting text editor". I do not know which to select. One of
them starts Emacs and the other Runemacs.
The texts for the alternative is probably the "FileDescription" of the
exe-file. See the src file emacs/nt/emacs.rc.in line 31: VALUE
"FileDescription", "GNU Emacs: The extensible self-documenting text
editor\0".
The same text is used both in emacs.exe and runemacs.exe.
My proposal is:
1) Change the text used in the "FileDescription", so they a different
for emacs, runemacs, emacsclient and emacsclientw.
2) Create, register and use ProgID like "LibreOffice.Cgm". It could be
GNUemacs.txt, GNUrunemacs.txt, GNUemacsclient.txt and GNUemacsclientw.txt
