You are just telling that water is wet, many thanks, I'm quite sure that everybody here knows that water is wet.

As well as any Windows user knows how to change the default application in the settings. I like to use the bicycle and I prefer to use the bicycle, if you like to walk and prefer to walk it's also fine, but don't expect that everybody like to do what you like, when somebody ask, why the bicycle doesn't work, it's not very useful replying with "you can walk, because I I don't want to be rude but you aren't saying anything new, any Windows user knows about the "open with" feature and the "choose another app" option, this isn't any advanced feature. I'm not try to reinvent the wheel, the wheel is already here and I'm asking why sometimes it stops working. Well, we are all different, because I use only one application to edit images, I don't want to search it every time, above all when Windows has already the option to set one application as the default editor. I know that you have to jump thru a small hoop in order to have your alternative app available the first time, but it is not a great inconvenience since that are only few graphics apps that I use for image editing. I also consider myself an advanced user, but I have never been in such a time crunch that I could not right click on an icon, select 'open with' and scroll to the needed app to open my image.

My money is on Windows because the default PDN install has the use as editor for JPG, PNG, BMP and TGA options ticked. The question spamme is asking is surely not how to do it but why the settings revert to default occasionally? Is it Windows updates messing up the defaults or PDN. As you can see it has a specific option for changing context menu associations but you do have to go through every image file type to set or re-set the default "Edit" menu option. It is a useful little program I've used many times Default Programs Editor (Google and it is easily found). Most of the latter I've tried concentrate on changing default "Open" programs for specific file extension types but not "Edit".

Short of editing the registry there doesn't appear to be any other way of doing the same thing via Windows, PDN or even third party default program editors.

Which has a solution approved by RIck B via a re-install or update of PDN and check (ticked by default) the install option to use PDN as default editor for JPG, PNG, BMP and TGA. My research turned up this old thread here:. WinXP Windows Photo Viewer does support GIF animations so what MS were thinking removing it who knows?

Strange because I've never really thought about this, I too prefer to open image files using the Windows 7 built in Photo Viewer despite the fact that MS decided to remove animated GIF support from it. If I'm not wrong in Windows the default editor for image files is MS Paint, and Paint.Net was born as replacement of MS Paint, why don't take this step also in the Windows registry? I always wondered why Paint.Net doesn't have a similar option in the application settings, it would be a nice user-friendly feature. Now it seems something that you have to do it only once, but in the reality, for some unknown reasons it happens around once in a year that these settings are reset to some default values, maybe when Windows install a major version?Īnyway, I have always estimated notepad++, which has a section in the settings to set it as default application for many file extensions, at the end it is just a little change in the registry. Effectively I have to use an external application (Default Program Editor) to set Paint.Net as default editor for the image files. Now, while it is possible in Windows to change the default application to open a file type, there isn't a way to change the default editor of a file type. When I want to edit an image, I use the context menu and choose the "Edit" option, so I don't have to start Paint.Net and open the file or drag and drop the file in the UI. Maybe I'm an advanced user, but I prefer to have two different applications to view and to edit an image, because I find really comfortable to view images in Windows Photo Viewer, because many reasons, smaller application, faster loading, automatically switching to the next image in the same folder, images are read only (no unintentional edits) and a few more.
