How can I add Xnview to my file extension list?

Hi,

I want my computer (Win XP) to automatically open my pictures with XnView, but it tends to be stuck on the Windows-viewer. In Windows Explorer, where I try to alter the default programme with wich I want to open my pictures, several different programmes appear in the list exept for Xnview. Does anyone know how I can add the programme? Thanks!

You can use options/Associations

Thank you very much. I feel a bit dumb for not finding that out for myself, though. But I guess I figured that this would be a default setting. Thanks, anyway, Love your programme!

Perhaps it could be added to tip.ini. What do you think?

There's an FAQ "How to associate image files with XnView".

Very good idea. I've just made a suggestion in the XnView Wiki, feel free to change the wording to improve it (#106).
