'Open with Fly' context menu option shows for non-images

[Checkmateuk]

I really like a clean right-click context menu so it would be good if 'Open with Fly' only showed for the items that can be previewed with the app.

I'm currently seeing it for PDFs, Fonts, PPTX, XLSX and just about all other file types.

It would be nice to also have an option to hide 'Open with Fly' entirely if I decide to set the app as my default double click behaviour.

FlyPhotos doesn’t have a fixed list of supported formats at install time.
When running, it relies on the codecs available in Windows, with additional built-in support for formats like SVG, PSD, and Animated PNG. For all other formats, FlyPhotos queries the Windows subsystem to determine compatibility.

I avoid modifying the user’s registry during execution, since those changes wouldn’t be properly cleaned up during uninstallation. A more advanced installer/uninstaller could handle that, but it would require extra work.

The installer currently adds the following registry entry, which the uninstaller removes. If you want to remove the right-click menu item manually, you can delete that entry yourself.

Years ago I wrote an installer in Inno Setup for myself for Picasa's PhotoViewer to be able to easily install it
to modern systems but without Picasa itself. I just needed that viewer so badly. It took care of file associations
and everything for all kinds of image formats by creating custom classes like "PicasaV.JPG, PicasaV.PNG,..."
that then are also (kind of) used for the context menu. Those classes are getting deleted during uninstallation.

I could offer to help you with this or write you an Inno script for your app based on my old script.
I know, it only would cover known image file types but thats still way better than covering every file.

Thanks for the comment.
I am halfway through the packaged version of this app which will produce an MSIX installer. I shall take your help if it doesn't work out.
