FileMetaAssociationManager

The job of the FileMetaAssociationManager is to manage the per file extension registry entries required. These fall into three groups:

1. Linking to the property handler.
2. Linking to the context menu handler.
3. Specifying the properties to be shown in the preview panel (PreviewDetails), Info Tip (1.4 onwards) and properties dialog (FullDetails) in Explorer The FileMetaAssociationManager is a standalone GUI application written using WPF and C#, for productivity reasons.
