How to set Xnview MP as default image viewer for windows 11
Posted: Thu Feb 13, 2025 12:10 pm
Hello,
I just upgraded to Windows 11 from win 10 (not a fresh install), and all images were reset to being handled by windows apps, but i can't for the life of me, find the place to set Xnview MP to handle all types of images like in win 10, but instead i only get the option to set the default one by one.
it is not a real issue, just annoying to do manually for that many extensions. Is it not possible anymore?
I also think to remember for the installer to have, at the end of the installation, a pop up window that managed the file associations or some sort, but it didn't show up when i reinstalled xnview mp.
If anything, this post will be for posterity, because i have been trying to find something specifically for this and i had no luck.
