Can't you just clear out the registry entries when the app quits? Even
if your app crashes, it would clean itself up next time it ran. This
way while the app was running people could double-click files and have
them open in your app.
We could, but it obviates the biggest benefit of the file-type
association: being able to launch the app by double-clicking a document.
We'd still get that behavior on Mac, just not on Win or Linux (the
latter has messy and inconsistent mechanisms for such associations
anyway; barely worth bothering with until the teams that make Linux
window managers get together and use a single simple standard).
