A crossplatform way to create file associations
See original GitHub issueThere are the extend-info option and installer.nsi.tpl template that allow you to create file association on OS X and Windows separately, but from the application’s perspective it’s the same thing. Can we have a metadata field in package.json for describing file extensions we are interested in? It might look like this:
"build": {
...
"file-associations": "txt|xyz|pdf"
}
Then it could be translated to specific entries in Info.plist and installer.nsi.tpl respectively. It would be very handy.

Since NSIS outperforms Squirrel.Windows in all aspects, issue is reopened and will be implemented. For NSIS only. Because once #529 will be implemented, NSIS will be set as default windows target.
