Bug ID: 462823 Summary: Can't set Windows-store version as default open-with for some arbitrary types Classification: Applications Product: okular Version: 22.08.1 Platform: Microsoft Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: minor Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org Reporter: k...@tombertalan.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY To open a PNG with Okular on Windows, you need to either drag it in from Explorer, File > Open it, or use the .exe installer and set the resulting bin/okular.exe as an "open-with" in the usual way. If you install from the Microsoft store (which the site recommdends, I guess this is a UWP app then), the last option is not available. I believe this issue might provide a way to fix this: https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/issues/27 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Okular in in Windows in the recommend way, through the Microsoft Store. 2. Right click in Windows Explorer on a PNG file (or probably any other non-PDF image that Okular can in fact open). 3. Go to Open With > Choose Another App > More Apps. Okular is not in the list. 4. Optionally execute `Get-AppxPackage -name "KDEe.V.Okular"` in powershell to get the install location. Mine is `C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\KDEe.V.Okular_22.801.1132.0_x64__7vt06qxq7ptv8\`. 5. Observe the okular.exe executable in an elevated Powershell in e.g. `C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\KDEe.V.Okular_22.801.1132.0_x64__7vt06qxq7ptv8\bin\` 6. Try to set this path as an open-with option; not possible because this install location is some kind of chroot jail or mounted filesystem or whatever. OBSERVED RESULT Can't set okular.exe as an open-with with Windows UWP installation. EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 22H2, Windows 10 Education ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
