I am trying to add 'GIMP image' to Window 10's 'New' context menu, as discussed here -

New Menu Demo:

This works for XML files (appears as 'XML Document'), but it won't work for my GIMP XCFs!

My Attempt:

How to get XCF to the 'New' context menu too?

    The Google Drive link says "You need access". Can you upload the text file contents to somewhere else (e.g., PasteBin.com) instead? Commented Dec 28, 2021 at 15:39
  • hehe I was frustrated and moving too fast; link works now (alt - pastebin.com/u5cy1ALB) Commented Dec 28, 2021 at 15:44
  • A complete file association report for .XCF would be helpful. You can generate it using the FileTypeDiag tool. Then upload to GDrive/Pastebin and post us the link. Commented Dec 28, 2021 at 15:49

The .XCF file type's (default) value data is missing. Running the following command (from admin/elevated Command Prompt window) should fix the issue:

assoc .xcf=GIMP2.xcf

Assuming that the file template.xcf exists in the Windows\ShellNew folder.
