--- Comment #9 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> ---
Well, first of all, there are functions that are best done by OS/desktop
manager. This one is one of them. More generally, it is not good to duplicate
any OS-provided functionality in program, because doing this, the program takes
responsibility to catch up with any changes in OS function; it should do that
for any OS/DM it works on; it will need to fix its own bugs in this
implementation etc. Now it is done by proper registration using proper method
(installer technology suited for that kind of tasks and doing most of the job)
- some small tweaks are only needed.
Second, doing so, we cannot stop with MSO file types only. Why? We can handle a
multitude of formats, textual, spreadsheets, graphical, presentations, ...
Where to stop? And by doing that, you will eventually loose the presumed ease
of seeing associations of MSO files in one place.
Third, you may be unaware of this, but Windows "Default Programs" has a mode
that already makes what you need: it is called "Set defaults by app". There you
just choose a program (e.g. LibreOffice), and choose defaults for that program
in one place. See e.g.
https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-set-default-programs-in-windows-10/
Lastly: it's not hammer's job to check if its owner uses it by default for
hammering nails.
