skatterbrainz Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I don't consider this a bug, but I also wasn't sure if this qualifies as an enhancement request, but here goes... On my Vista desktop at home, I can right-click on a JPG image file and choose "Open with..." and then "Paint.net". However, if I highlight multiple files, there is no "Open with..." option anymore. Only "Open" and "Edit", which opens in the photo or picture manager app. Is there a known way to get my computer to support opening with Paint.net with multiple selected files on Vista?

MattBlackLamb Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I thought that the "Edit" command opened the images with Paint.NET...

skatterbrainz Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 Not by default. I suppose I can go dig into Vista and redirect "Edit" to invoke Paint.net. By default it opens the Picture Manager thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Not by default. I suppose I can go dig into Vista and redirect "Edit" to invoke Paint.net. By default it opens the Picture Manager thing. Can't you "reinstall" Paint.NET and select "Set it as my default "X" editor?" using the Advanced option in the installer? Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob.

You can do that for 2 or 3 of the filetypes. I forget which ones, but I dont think jpg is one of them. You can rightclick a jpg file though, go down to open with, click choose program, find paint.net (its located in c:/program files/paint.net), select it, and make sure you have the box that says something like "Always open this kind of file with this program" checked, and hit ok.

IIRC, there's one checkbox for JPEG, GIF and PNG, and another for TGA. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob.
