It is possible to open a file with an external application; the application can be chosen from the context menu.
When the user double-clicks a file, the default system application (if any) will be launched.
The default system application can be overridden (only inside VisualDiffer) by specifying the predefined one on "Preferred Viewer/Editor".
The default system application is not changed.
