017 - "Open with..." on attachment

[AlbertR 542]

Feature Description

• EN opens any attachment by launching the Windows-defined handling program (i.e. XLSX files in Excel, ...)
• Sometimes you need to open an attachment in an other program for any reason
• To do so, many (all other programs?) offer a command "Open with..." to choose that program
  • This command has been implemented in former version - but not with EN10

---

Expected behaviour

• Offer a command "Open with..." (maybe on Right-Click on the attachment?)
• If this program changes the therefore saved attachment, this changed file should be read back to EN's note)

---

Workaround

• Export attachment, start desired program, open exported attachment, change and save it or not, read changed file back with normal note editing commands...

I think the workaround is simpler, at least in Windows... Use the 'save as" option to save the file to your desktop or wherever, and then right click the filename there and use the operating Window's  "open with"  feature to open the file.  I myself would consider the change you are suggesting more of a feature request than a bug-fix request.

Surely this is not rocket science. Honestly how can v10 be so bad? Can't believe that I need to do this just to look at an attachment with the programme I want to use
