Installer: Do we need file association choice? #19

Closed IanDarwin closed 1 year ago

IanDarwin commented 4 years ago

The installers for general use are built using jpackage (via the mkinstallers script). At present it generates an association from PDF to our program. However, people that also use their same computers for other work involving PDF would be offended if we installed that. Need to do one of these:

  1. Check all major platforms that the installer doesn't replace the association (so the user will be asked whether to use, say, PDFShow or their own program (evince, Adobe Reader, or whatever). 2, Find a way to have the installer generate a choice at runtime, asking "Should I make your computer open all PDF files with PDFshow?"

Seems like nobody wants this or cares enough to comment, so closing it.
