Open multiple images in external program

Hi Pierre,
one great thing in XnView is that you can configure your own external programs in the tool bar. So its very easy to open the marked file with the program you want.
My suggestion is: Could you also make this work for multiple files? E.g. if I want to stitch a panorama with autostitch, I could select the images in XnView, press the Autostitch-Button and voilà! Or if I want to create a stereo photo or an HDR-image from multiple files, this function would also be great.
Thanks
Frank

XnView supported opening multiple files by the "open with" command but in version 1.93.6 this function doesn't work. At least with the same version of photoshop.
Is it a bug?
Thank you.

... I've found it, thanks. By the way, it works with PhotoShop for me.

What did you find? (Might be of interest for other users who have a similar problem).

Sorry. I'm talking of the "Open with"-command. I tried to find it in the options --> toolbar section (this is where I configured the external programs I work with, which only open one file at once though). Now I found the configurable "open with" command in the tool menu, which indeed works with multiple files (at least if the external program supports it).

Thank you, Frank, for letting us know that "Open with..." solved your problem.
An alternate solution (at least in v1.92)

is to drag and drop the files by highlighting the thumbnails in the XnView and then just drag and drop them into Photoshop CS2's window, for instance.
When I get a chance, I am going to have to see how I could do the same thing the way described above. I can't seem to quickly figure out how to do what I would like, which is to look at large batches of images, and then crop them with XnView. Review them again. And then open the ones I choose to work on in Photoshop.
