Usually I start Emacs with a link in the task bar which has as target:
C:\Users\utente>C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "SET
path=C:\msys64\mingw64\bin;%path%&& SET PRELOAD_WINSOCK=1&& START /D
^"C:\Apps\Emacs\bin^" runemacs.exe"
So trying to open a .tex file from explorer, when it asks with which
application I want to open that file, I browsed until the bin folder of Emacs
and chose emacs.exe. But in this way, if I had stated Emacs from the above
link, it opens another frame (and loses also a bit of graphics) and the result
is not very good...
Reading https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsMsWindowsIntegration I tried this
>From a DOS box I started the Emacs client adapting the above target:
C:\Users\utente>C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "SET
path=C:\msys64\mingw64\bin;%path%&& SET PRELOAD_WINSOCK=1&& START /D
^"C:\Apps\Emacs\bin^" emacsclientw.exe -c -n -a C:\Apps\Emacs\bin\runemacs.exe"
and from a DOS box started as administrator, I did
ftype CodeFile=emacsclientw -na runemacs "%1"
assoc .tex=CodeFile
then tried to open the .tex file from explorer. But the result is as above,
with another frame and losing graphics.
So, how one can set Emacs as default app on Windows 10? (the next step would be
Gnu/Linux and macOS...)
It should open the new file in a new tab in Emacs (already running with the
tab-line enabled) as many apps do (consider a browser with a few tabs opened
and double clicking in explorer on a .html file..)
Ciao,
Angelo.
