Click-Right menu under windows - "open with" missing

Under Linux I've the menu entry to open images (I use Photoflow).
But under Windows this entry doesn't exist. I've verified that NEF and JPG
files are set to be opened by photoflow.

OpenWith feature use KIO API from KDE and is Linux only. Under MAcOS and
Windows, this do not work. In fact KIO is disabled outside Linux.

OK, the answer is clear. But ...
Is this not a showstopper for using Digikam along with any other image editor ?

Certainly,

I try to find how non KDE application (and portable) try to deal with Open With
feature... It's not simple... Wait and see

The port to QT has happened, but there might still be a problem on Windows (see
cited post below). Can you please test with the pre-release and report back
whether it works or not:

From a duplicated issue:

Still missing.
Here is the options I see:

Right click - Open (F4) - opens Editor

Menu - Item - Open (F4) - same
Menu - Item  - Open with Default Application (Meta + F4) - opens windows viewer

"Open with" is still missing

I confirm that version 5.7 beta doesn't bring (yet) the entry "Open with"
(Windows 10)

OpenWith feature require KIO slave from KDE. This do not work under Windows or
require a complex run time puzzle that i don't want to solve in the bundle.

Also, the OpenWith feature will only provide external tool from Unix world, not
Windows.

So we need a native Windows solution to reproduce the feature.

Note : It's exactly the same problem under MacOS.

Created attachment 107063

Open with for single file on windows

This is based on a quick google search turning up this SO question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6364879/how-to-open-a-default-dialog-for-window-if-shellexecute-fails-due-to-no-file-ass

Maybe this just works, but I wouldn't get my hopes up and I can't test myself.

Hi Simon,

I do not have a windows computer to test here.

The patch sound like not too intrusive. I recommend to move Windows API code to
a dedicated cpp file (as Qt implementation do).

Something like /app/utils/contextmenuhelper_win.cpp

Typically, the windows specific code must be separated from Qt based code.
