Hello,
is there a simple way to do this? What I want to do is to open the currently selected file in the browser with my editor of choice. I found the way to add it to the context menu (Open with...my program). But I find this cumbersome, and would like to have a more direct access.
As I did not find any info in the online help how to achieve this, I used a quick workaround. The windows editor when hitting F4 is MS Paint. I never use this program anyway, so I changed Windows registry so that the 'Associated Editor' called from within XnView is now my preferred program.
HK_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command
"%systemroot%\system32\mspaint.exe" "%1"
replaced by
"C:\Programme\JPG-Illuminator\jpgIlluminator.exe" "%1"
Easily to restore, though. Was that clever or did I overlook a much simpler way to do it?
Call a different program with current file

Where the f#+~%&$§ hell is this documented?Dreamer wrote:You can use the shortcut also for "Open with...my program" - Alt+1, Alt+2...
At XnView: Is is so hard to add the shortcut to the menu so that one has the information directly at hand?
Why is the online help file shortcut list not updated?
At the mods: Why is the shortcut list in this forum not updated?
