Add Windows Explorer context menu entry "Open with klogg"
Not all log files have file extension ".log", and in fact, many log files name end with irregular file extensions, such as "xxx_stacktrace.log.2021-07-20", "xxx_stacktrace.log.2021-07-21", etc. So, it's impossible to create file association for every file extension out there.
That's why I would like to suggest to have a Windows Explorer context menu entry "Open with klogg" when we right click any file, regardless of file extension. Of course, this should be made an option, as not everyone likes it.
Thanks for suggestion. This could be done by editing the registry (https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/99bb20/add-opening-methods-to-the-context-menu-for-all-files-in-win/) or by registering shell extension dll. I'll see which way is easier to implement.

I add klogg in the registry as the link describes, but it seems a little bit slow to open log file. I use "Edit with notepad++", it's very fast. Any suggestions about increasing the speed to open log files with klogg?
@speeeeed you mean that there is some visible delay between clicking on context menu item and file appearing in klogg? Does this happen when opening files by double click in Windows Explorer?

Dragging a file to a opened klogg window is really fast.

Opening file from context menu works by launching separate klogg process that gets the filename, checks if there is already another running klogg instance and passes filename to it. Dragging a file to already opened window does not require all that inter-process communication.
