missing parameter during installation : open/edit contextual

Post by Michael REMY »

hi,

The bug appends on Win7 x64.

Once psp2018 is installed, i notified there is no "edit with" or "open with" item in my explorer contextual menu when i select many picture files whereas is it show when i select only ONE file.

You can see other application (installed before psp) manage to perform that basic feature (like ACDsee).

Some programs might modify the Explorer context menu like ACDsee does but not all. I have Irfanview installed. Like you, when I select only one image then I get Open With... as an option and can choose which image program to open with. When I select more than one image I no longer have the Open With... option, just the Open option as well as one option to open in DXO Optics. If I select the Open option it will open most images in Irfanview because I have that set as my default image viewer for viewing most image formats (it will open PSP if I have selected several .pspimage files). So while some programs modify the context menu that way (ACDsee, DXO, others) not all do (Irfanview, PSP, for example). But perhaps it was an option I could have chosen when I installed Irfanview and I just missed it? So I suspect it's not a bug, just a missing feature. :-)
Regards,

Like Joe, I have Irfanview set as default for jpgs nd other images except pspimage.
If I choose 3 jpg images and right click I get in the context menu Open With PSP X3, X4 and X5 and it does open the three images there. Seems that this as Joe has mentioned is no longer supported. I rarely use it anyway as if I have that folder opened with the images, it is just a simple action to open the version of PSP I want to use and then drag and drop from that open folder.
On the other hand if I select 1 file and do Open with I get 16 programs that I can open it with including PSP X3, X4, X5 and X6 to 2018 in both 32 and 64 bit versions, so I can see why it would be dropped as if you have a lot of different graphics programs making additions to the context menu it can become too large.

so i tweak it again :

i created a shortcut in my Sendto folder "C:\Users\michael\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Sendto\Corel PSP Pro 2018.lnk"

the target is "Corel PaintShop Pro.exe" with the full path C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel PaintShop Pro 2018 (64-bit)\

and now, i can open(sendto) many files to psp

ps : Take care to not open too many files , i tried 350 files and i couldn't cancel the operation during the opening ;-), i have to kill the process.
but it works.
