open with

[Andrej Valencic]

Well, I tried to do this for IrfanView on my PC, but there is no such 
directory on my installation.

The only place where I found *.desktop files is: C:\Program 
Files\digiKam\data\applications
So I made an IrfanView.desktop file and put it in there (it's not 
straightforward because of the permissions on this directory set by 
Windows). Now it works and I have IrfanView in the list of "Open With" 
as an option. But I guess this is going to be overwritten by the next 
upgrade installation and I'll have to do it again?

Regards,
Andrej
