bmastenbrook Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I just tried to open a TIFF file (extension .TIF), and was very surprised that my installed copy of Paint.NET 3.5.4 was not listed as a program that handled this kind of file. It actually opened fine from within Paint.NET, but it seems that the association is missing. Is this a problem with my installation or a bug in the installer?

pyrochild Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Paint.NET does not set itself up as the default image viewer, but the default editor. As long as you checked the appropriate boxes in the installer, that is. Right-click the image file and choose Edit.

bmastenbrook Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 I did that, but that opened regular ol' Paint. When I install Paint.net, it only gives me the option of associating it with JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TGA images, but it seems to handle TIFF just fine. So why not let it be the default for TIFF too?

Sarkut Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 bmastenbrook, You haven't said what OS version you are using. With Vista I did this, and .tif files now open in Paint.NET by left-clicking. Choose a TIFF file, then: Right-click > Open with... > Choose default program... Then select Paint.Net either by expanding the Other Programs option or using Browse. Check the box that says - "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file". OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
