Summary0004324: Double-Clicking A .Noesis File Opens Noesis Studio, But Not The Project Itself
Description

Currently, when you double-click a .noesis Project file, the Studio desktop application successfully opens (albeit in a non-functional state) (Attached image)
However, the selected Project itself isn't loaded in Studio when opening the Project file.

This is the only instance I have ever encountered of an Application's Project File not opening in its/an application when double-clicking on it, and I strongly suspect many users will have the same expectations. This exception in file handling compared to almost all other desktop applications could possibly be misinterpreted as being broken for users not aware of the Launcher method.

I was able to set up opening .noesis files with Studio, and everything seems to be working fine on my side.

I simply used the standard Windows procedure: “Open with...”.

Noesis isn’t doing anything special here, apart from supporting the launch of Studio with a project path: StudioTool.exe <path_to_noesis_file>

I’ve verified that this works correctly, and that’s the only part Noesis controls. Everything else is handled by Windows.

After further investigation, this appears to be an issue that only occurs in Windows 11. Everything works as expected in Win 10.
Therefore, this likely indeed appears to be primarily an OS issue.

It is however worth noting that I was able to get other portable apps to function as desired/described, so there may be possibly a way to resolve this once we get a better understand of the root issue.

One user was able to make this work without issue in Windows 11, so disregard the previous theory.
