Re: Netbeabs editor Shell Extension

Thanks. That is good stuff. Thanks for sharing. I certainly hope Google has
now registered your contribution so people will find it. :-)
What happens if NetBeans.exe is already open?   I hope it re-uses the
existing process in that case?


Anyway, to broaden the issue a bit:

Ever wondered why NetBeans IDE doesn't show up on the Windows Explorer's
"Open With" menu when you right-click a file?  I'm not (necessarily)
talking about file associations here. I'm talking about the list of
applications that comes up when you right-click a file for which there are
no file associations, say  foo.bar33.   On my Windows 10 computer this only
produces a *subset* of the applications installed on the computer, most of
them from stock Windows, but also Notepad++. So how did Notepad++ get on
the list, but not NetBeans IDE ?

I believe it has to do with NetBeans IDE not being a so called "Registered
Application" on the Windows platform. For this the NBI would have to set
more registry keys than what it currently does. Or so I believe.
