Hello,

Is there a mechanism in place that we can associate file extensions at the operating system level to our Electron.NET app, such that if you double click a file with a custom extension, it would automatically launch the app and open the file? Looking primary for a macOS solution, but of course windows support would be great also.

Thanks.

We are currently using the electron-packager to create a deliverable binary. For your wish, something has to be integrated with the builder.

We are working to use electron-builder and this will make your request easy.
