Understanding file associations in JVM apps
So, to add file associations, we need to be able to pass both the .properties file and the --file-associations option. At the time of writing this article, the org.jetbrains.compose plugin doesn't provide such a mechanism. There is an open issue on GitHub that describes a possible workaround, which, unfortunately seems to not work on macOS.

Timeline with Scrollbar in LazyColumn Compose
Compose for desktop has a scrollbar component available. You probably can't use that directly on Android, but you could probably steal most of its code.

JetBrains Compose is now Compose Multiplatform
As for missing controls, a common one is a grid. They have built in grids, but again they are built for Android and don't make any sense in a desktop app. There is no simple way to create an Excel-like Data Grid like you might see in Windows Forms, although it can be done. https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/issues/344.

+1 I really hope that they add official desktop controls. Just wanted to mention this library https://github.com/kirill-grouchnikov/aurora It has some pretty good looking desktop controls, in the meantime.

What do you use for building Desktop apps these days?
If you don't mind me asking: by "missing app framework" for Compose Desktop, do you mean a framework for WIMP components? I know that there is the Aurora project which brings these components to Compose Desktop (haven't tried it myself, though)

best GUI framework for Kotlin? I’m working on a desktop program and i’ve been using JavaFX, and was curious if Kotlin had anything better? I’m aware of TornadoFX but i don’t really enjoy the way it’s setup.
Check out https://github.com/kirill-grouchnikov/aurora for some ideas on how to do this (custom components, etc...).
