Description Stuart Langridge 2009-01-16 17:14:38 UTC 
Gimp should submit an entry to the Windows File Association list (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929149). If a user clicks a document in a format that their machine doesn't support, Windows sends them to shell.windows.com which lists possible applications that can open that format of document. Gimp should be on that list for all formats it supports -- .jpg format files, for example, are currently listed as being supported by Photoshop and Irfanview but not Gimp
(http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?ext=jpg). A good chance
for evangelism!
Comment 1 Michael Schumacher 2009-01-22 17:12:17 UTC 
Given that many does support many of the common file formats - are there building blocks for this somewhere - e.g. forms that have everything filled in for e.g. JPEG and PNG and do only require the information that's specific for an application?
Comment 2 Max Mustermann 2012-08-29 19:49:43 UTC 
Is this possibly a duplicate of bug #382683 or can these two enhancement requests at least be handled together?
Comment 3 Michael Natterer 2012-08-30 07:27:35 UTC 
No these bugs are about different things.
