Double click on an image to launch in a different SW?

Post by giovax »

Hi,
new here. Testing out the sw and it looks great so far!!
I was trying to configure the action that is to be carried out when double clicking on an image. I'd like to launch Photoshop.
I understand that I have to right click,open with,configure programs and add the Photoshop executable which I did.

Is there a way to launch PS when double clicking an image instead of right click,open with... ?(I know I can Alt+1 but I find it unpractical)

Thank you!

If your mouse has extra buttons, get a program like XMouseButtonControl or Logitech Options, and configure one of your extra mouse buttons to send the appropriate hotkey (Alt-1 in your case) to XnViewMP. Then you can edit a file with one mouse click.

I've been doing this sort of thing for years to get control of Irfanview which is much less configurable.
