|
|
|
* `wfassoc`: Core Rust library. Rust programmer can directly utilize it.
|
|
|
|
|
* `wfassoc_dylib`: A dynamic library exposed for C/C++ and other languages users.
|
|
|
|
|
* `wfassoc_exec`: A executable configuring file assocation according to user given profile and request.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are a programmer who just want to silently set your file association for user,
|
|
|
|
|
`wfassoc_exec` would be your best choice.
|
|
|
|
|
The only things you need to do is that write a TOML description file,
|
|
|
|
|
and provide it and `wfassoc_exec` with your executable.
|
|
|
|
|
By executing `wfassoc_exec` with this TOML file in your executable,
|
|
|
|
|
you can simply achieve this goal and analyze its return value to check whether it success.

|
However, if you are prefering that let user decide which file associations should be created,
|

|
|
|
even have an UI displaying all current file association related with this program (like 7-Zip File Manager does),
|
|
|
|
|
you can choose `wfassoc_dylib` for your solution.
|
|
|
|
|
`wfassoc_dylib` expose all essential functions for this task.
|
|
|
|
|
And you can build it with your own program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At last, if all scenarios above can not cover your requirements,
|
|
|
|
|
you can utilize `wfassoc` directly in Rust, change all essential code in your favor,
|
|
|
|
|
and finally produce the application which onlt suit for yourself.
