Bookworm Portable does not open files when invoked via Windows ‘Send To’ shortcut #373

Description

Description
Bookworm Portable does not open files when invoked via a Windows “Send To” shortcut.
Steps to reproduce
1.
Create a shortcut to Bookworm.exe (portable version) inside the Windows “Send To” folder.
2.
Right-click on a supported file (e.g., PDF).
3.
Choose Send To → Bookworm Portable.
Expected behavior
The file should be opened normally in Bookworm Portable, as happens with other portable document readers.
Actual behavior
Nothing happens, or the file is not opened.
Additional context
This is not a request for Bookworm Portable to create or manage “Send To” shortcuts automatically.
The expectation is only that the application accepts file paths passed as arguments when invoked via a manually created shortcut.
This behavior works correctly with other portable applications such as Balabolka, Paperback, QR Reader, and FineReader.
Requiring the user to manually open the executable before loading a file reduces the usability of the portable version.

Possible cause

It seems that Bookworm Portable may not be handling file path arguments when launched externally.
