Double click to open in associated program?
Sorry for a dumb question but I cannot work out how to do this , I just want to double click an image or video file, and it will open in the associated program?

Sorry, I meant double clicking something in XNViewMP Browser, not Windows Explorer? At the moment if I double click in XNView MP browser, it just opens in XNViewMP, but I don't want that for videos.cday wrote: In general an operating system setting, for example in Windows 7 using 'Default Programs' in the Start menu or Control Panel...

I don't see a way to configure a double-click to open a file in the associated program.gouache wrote:... I meant double clicking something in XNViewMP Browser, not Windows Explorer? At the moment if I double click in XNView MP browser, it just opens in XNViewMP, but I don't want that for videos.
It seems to be possible to open a file in the associated program from the browser using F3, if that would meet your needs...

It's strange as it is possible in XNView, it seems an omission really, I'll put in suggestions.cday wrote: I don't see a way to configure a double-click to open a file in the associated program.
