<![CDATA[How stupid is Windows?]]>How stupid is Windows? This stupid: It's a documented feature that you can open a file by selecting it & hitting enter - but if you select multiple files & they're not the same file type (e.g. Doc, PowerPoint), this feature simply fails silently.

The OS just does nothing.

With almost 4 decades of experience, this scenario either didn't occur to anyone or they decided to just ignore it.

Good Lord.

For the record, The Other OS™️ has been able to do this seamlessly for at least a decade.

If it's the last maybe associate them all with your own application that calls them all individually?
