Hi i'm looking for a way to assign a custom file extension to my app. Something like a .pw file extension that by doble clicking a file with that extension my app will be launched and it should load with the data inside the file.

This is the tracking issue for this feature: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/3736

On Windows you can probably wing it by using rust and/or modifying the WiX template.
Forgot about Linux
macOS needs changes in tao (a dependency of tauri) and tauri to work.

Thanks, that's actually really helpful!

So you know where I can found a .wix installation file template that I can follow and just replace and add what I need?
