Unable to Set ImageGlass as Default Viewer for Standard Users #2131

Hi,
Thank you for the recent update.

However, after installing the latest version, I'm no longer able to set ImageGlass as the default image viewer when logged in with a standard (limited) user account — something that was possible in previous versions. It seems that my earlier report on this issue may have been overlooked. #1581

In my opinion, file associations should be handled during installation, depending on whether the application is being installed for all users (machine-wide) or just the current user.

Ideally, this setting should also be configurable from within the application itself, especially since ImageGlass can be installed through alternative methods such as the Scoop package manager.

To support proper file association behavior inside the application, the installer should store the installation scope (machine-wide or per-user) in the Windows Registry or in a file under ProgramData. This allows the app to determine how to handle file associations at runtime.

If such data is not found in the Registry or ProgramData, the application should assume it is running in portable mode or was installed via Scoop. In that case, file association should be performed only for the current user, as there's no reliable way to determine the broader installation context.
