anonymous_person Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Currently Paint.NET only makes itself the default editor for JPG, PNG, and BMP. I would like GIF to be in that list too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Right-click on a GIF, select "open with" and then "Choose Program...". Then make sure "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is checked, scroll down the list, find "Paint.NET" and double click on it. Paint.NET will now be your default GIF editor.

anonymous_person Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Oh I know how to make Paint.NET the default editor, I just want it as an option during installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I just want it as an option during installation. That will probably just waste time - maybe you should ask the developers to make it a menu option. And why is it a problem - you only have to install it once and if you upgrade the path in the registry will still point to that program - broken link or not.

During installation Paint.NET also has options to become the default editor for JPG, PNG, and BMP. And why is it a problem - you only have to install it once and if you upgrade the path in the registry will still point to that program - broken link or not. Yes but everytime I reinstall Windows... If this suggestion isnt considered good then Ill just live with it :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymous_person Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 [How often do you do that? Adding on to that, why are you re-installing Windows? Is it really important to know?

You were acting as though you do it every day. Most people have gone through whole computers without doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
