File association

How would I assign this program to open .md files on Windows machines? Is there anything like this planned?

MarkdownPad2 already does this but it's properitary

This is not yet implemented, but would be definitely a very useful feature...

This probably requires a native launcher (javapackager, launch4j, exe4j, ...) and a way to start only a single instance of Markdown Writer FX (maybe JUnique?)

This probably requires a native launcher

Following project configured Gradle to generate for most used platforms native launchers (and installers) : https://blog.heckel.xyz/2014/05/29/gradle-create-windows-installers-debian-packages-manage-a-ppa-and-optional-sub-projects/

FxLauncher is also a nice project which creates native launchers and allows auto updating the app.

Thanks for the great tips. I'll have a look...

I also want to try JavaFX-Gradle-Plugin, which builds launchers and installers and supports file associations. Sounds good, but it seems to require to run the build for each release on 3 platforms. Will try to automate this with Jenkins.

This: https://blog.heckel.xyz/2014/05/29/gradle-create-windows-installers-debian-packages-manage-a-ppa-and-optional-sub-projects/ explains how to build everything with Linux (and Travis) and here a diagram: https://github.com/syncany/syncany/wiki/Continuous-integration

Syncany has a more complicated process, but there's no need for Jenkins.
