Bug Description
- assure that you don't have Inkscape installed on your Windows PC (uninstall it if you have it)
- install Inkscape 0.92 on Windows
The installer has the preset to register the .SVG file extension. Keep this setting because this is what we want.
- after the installation open the file explorer and double-click on a SVG file.
Result: Inkscape will not open. The SVG file will be opened with Windows default for SVG files (Which is on Win 7the Internet Explorer). If you look at the Windows registry you ca see that the .svg extension is not set to be opened with Inkscape.
