XnView ShellExtension (open files in associated program)

Post by wardenzanti »

Hi,

First I must said I love XnView, it's my choice for pic browsing, and the shell extension is the best add-on after picaview from acdsee...
But I miss an option... :(

I would suggest the option to open a file which is previewed in the context menu by clicking on the thumbnail, with the system associated program instead of XnView.

Very interesting for video files and really fast quick access to one picture,
I would really appreciate these option!

Thanks in advance!

I suggested this 9 monhts ago. I'm glad someone else decided to request it also. I'm even happier that it was implemented within days! :p

Nice work though, really! :)

I can't find an option to choose between XnView and associated program. I liked it better before when pictures were opened in XnView instead of associated program after clicking on thumbnail :( Could this new feature perhaps be made optional?

Is there an option to modify it or now way to customize it?
