Added

  • File ▸ Windows Integration ▸ Register as .md editor… — a per-user, no-admin workflow to add Markdown Midget to the Windows "Open with" menu for .md files. Uses a stable ProgID (MarkdownMidget.Document), so re-registering the current version overwrites the same registry key and can't accidentally create duplicates. On register we also dedupe stale references to Markdown Midget (previous "Choose another app" pickings under FileExts\.md\OpenWithList, old Applications\ entries under different exe filenames like mkm.exe).
  • Optional AppData install + Start-menu entry. Checkbox in the register dialog copies the current build to %LocalAppData%\Programs\MarkdownMidget\MarkdownMidget.exe and creates a Start-menu shortcut — a portable-app style install with no MSI. Recommended because it keeps the Open With entry stable across future releases (just re-register after each upgrade).
  • Optional "Set as default" — Windows 10/11 protect the UserChoice hash so apps can't set defaults programmatically; the checkbox opens the Default Apps Settings page filtered to .md for the user to confirm with one click.
  • File ▸ Windows Integration ▸ Unregister as .md editor — removes the ProgID + Applications entry + .md\OpenWithProgids link and does the same dedupe pass. If an AppData install exists (and isn't the currently-running copy), asks whether to also remove that folder and the Start-menu shortcut.

See CHANGELOG.md for full history.
