In the above drafts we have "Open in XnView", "Open in Associated Program", and "No action". I wonder whether "No action" is really needed.
I don't need it.

We don't need also action "Open in XnView" for "All other files" since they can't be opened in XnView.

I don't need whole option "All other files" - it could be always on, but maybe it's important for other users...

Could it be possible to add in the droplist an "Open with selected program" which would lead to a browser to choose the '.exe' (and would then display the program name) ?
Not that essential for me... but it could be useful (examples: you might want to open with a Video Editor instead of the default Video Player because you can already preview it in XnView... same for Audio, Image...)

I agree with you... not needed, I think.

Yes, it might be useful, I'm not sure if there is already such suggestion, please try to find or start a new topic. I'll add some comments there...

I mean F4 - Open in custom editor, this would be enough I think.
