I would like to set a new file association for my program but I couldn't find instructions on how to do it, only programs that do the job.

It would use a unique file type (renamed text file) that would have its own icon. Then how is it interpreted by the application?

Thanks in advance!

What's with the application side handling? How can I know what file was launched?

The file is passed as the first argument:

B4X:

Sub App_Start
 If ArrayLen(args()) > 0 then
  LaunchedFile = args(0)
  ...
 End If
