Description kovacs.artur.barnabas 2020-03-17 14:58:46 UTC 
SUMMARY
Kate downloaded from the Microsoft Store does not register itself to support
the ".log" fileformat. This prevents the user from associating this format with Kate without empolying a hacky workaround like manually adding the format to the registry. (See https://superuser.com/questions/1071323/cannot-set-a-windows-10-store-app-as-default-program-to-open-a-file)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Kate from the Microsoft Store
2. Try to open a ".log" file with Kate.

OBSERVED RESULT
Cannot do it without hacking.

EXPECTED RESULT
The format is either automatically associated with Kate upon installing or the "Open with / Choose another app" window offers to use Kate.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
