file type assoc in windows

Since this application doesn't come with an installer, so I guess you need to assoc with your file formats manually. I personally have no time working on this Windows-only feature, sorry about this.

To associate images with Pineapple Pictures on Windows, I use another open source tool - Portable Registrator.
It sets associations for a list of specified formats and by default for image viewers this list contains only some of the most basic formats. .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .png, .ico, .jpeg, .tif, .tiff

Therefore, I ask @BLumia to write a list of all image formats supported by Pineapple Pictures, so that they can all be associated at once using Portable Registrator.

Well, it depends on the version that you use or the Qt imageformats plugin(s) that you have.

Since this issue (and the tool you've mentioned) is for Windows, if you are using the Windows binary release provided by me, then it will support all the formats provided by Qt image formats plugins, and some part of formats supported by KImageFormats. You can take a look at the imageformats folder and see the plugins that I provided.

I also provided an additional-image-formats version on the itch.io store page (which can be considered as a donation version). In that version, there is a patched QtAPNG to provide animated PNG (.apng) support, and also have OpenEXR format support provided by KImageFormats.

User can build their own imageformats plugins as well.

Additionally, please note, even if some plugin provider doesn't claim they support a curtain suffix/extension, they might still be supported! For example, .jfif is supported and it's mostly the same as .jpg. The supported formats are also subject to change as well if I decided to ship a new plugin or remove an existing plugin.

HTH :)

I tried the Portable Registrator tool and it works pretty well, and I can confirm it also works under Windows 11 :)

Here is a gist that you can copy-paste and modify and use. To be clear, the list doesn't exactly match all the formats that Pineapple Pictures supports and user might want to omit some suffixes and use other image viewers (e.g. use something else for better SVG support). Feel free to edit the gist to fit your own need.
