Windows 10: "Open with" list not custimizable

Try setting the .pdf file association back to its default settings and then retry your method.

Go to option 2 in this tutorial and select the .pdf download from the table below the instructions.

Thanks! At least, this removes Firefox and Microsoft Word from the list.

But still, Evince does not show up on the list even after openning a pdf several times with it...

 

Okay, it's a GNOME Project application! Portable, sort of!
If you'll bear with me, I'll show you how to make a custom context menu entry.

 

That would be fair enough. As long as I am not getting this "open with Evince" entry for all files, but just for *.PDFs (and maybe *.PS).

Thanks in advance!

 

Sorry, no can do. Take it or leave it.

 

@Edwin: No worries, thanks anyway! I found a substitute for evince in sumatra pdf.
However, one last question if I may:

Is that the reason why Windows 10 doesn't want to list it in the "Open with" menu? What would the Evince developers have to change?

Thanks again!

 

It would probably have to be modified as an MSI or Windows installer package with all the proper attributes.
