Settings - integration - file associations - improve association process on Windows 11

[user0]

XnViewMP 1.11.6
Windows11 (25H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

Integration - file associations
ACDSee and Imagine can set default file associations for multiple file types at once on Windows 11.
XnViewMP offers similar functionality, but its file association process does not work on Windows 11.

Suggestion

• add 'Set as default' on Windows 11
  pm sent

• improve
  • add few more controls
    - Registration scope selector
    - Register
    - Unregister
    - Set as Default
  • add more extensions to the list
    app reads >500 formats, but registers only 49 file extensions
    at least use same extensions as in Settings>Format>Write
  • (optional) allow users to add custom extensions eg via
    - text field (space separated) (like in IrfanView) OR
    - dialog (like in ImageGlass)
  • standalone vs integrated
    - add shortcut to 'Associate files with XnViewMP.exe' tool
      in XnViewMP menu, eg in Settings>Tools, between PlugIns... and Settings...
    OR
    - add 'File associations' tab into Settings>Integration

Example

• ACDSee, Imagine, IrfanView, ImgeGlass, Nomacs
