How to use
bottles-opener

3 lists every file type. Space switches between:

How it works
| File types | Read from the bottle's registry, like Windows does. Known programs without entries come from a built-in list. |
| Icons | The ones Windows shows, taken from the program. |
| Opening | With the Windows path and the program's own switches, through bottles-cli. |
| Undo | bottles-opener disable puts back exactly what was there. |
Bottles 67 has file associations too, but it refuses extensions your system does not know (like
.flp), passes Linux paths and leaves the icons alone.
