Double click image behaves different in opus and file explorer despite setting to use "fotos" app

Hi

when i double click a jpg image file in opus and i have set default operation to use windows "fotos" app the small handles to click next and previous image in a folder is mossing. If i do the same in microsoft native file explorer they are there and "fotos" app works like supposed.

I have not ser opus image file handler to opus internal, so i expected the "fotos" app to work identical, but dont

any ides or this is a bug in opus ?

thanks

Make sure you're on the latest version, there were some changes a little while ago to make this work.

im on Directory Opus 13.18 Build 9368 x64
OS 10.0 (B:26100 P:2 T:1) SP 0.0

if this is the version you think about it still doesnt work. Is there a newer ?

thanks

Maybe update your system.

i have latest.

any one some input what this is and how to solve?

Some Opus setting i have missed ?

I have latest opus version and latest windows update.

i have this setting in opus;

The recent changes were to make it work again on Windows 11 after Microsoft broke the original method we used. As far as I know that still works.

This is the first time I've heard it doesn't work on Windows 10, but no doubt Microsoft have broken that as well. I'm not sure we'll be able to do anything about that - Windows 10 is almost out of support by Microsoft, so spending time on it probably wouldn't be productive (and no doubt whatever we did Microsoft would only go and break it again anyway).

i use windows 11, as said i use opus version Directory Opus 13.18 Build 9368 x64
OS 10.0 (B:26100 P:2 T:1) SP 0.0

if this is the latest version, and opus shows it is, then what is wrong here ?

any settings to change in the app ? I uploaded the settings i have in Opus

i have updated both windows and opus as i wrote to latest version. Same problem on both a laptop and a stationary both updated. Thats no help

No luck here :frowning:

I tested the following versions:

Photos 2025.11040.23001.0 | Windows 11 24H2 build 26100.4652 (AMD64)  
Photos 2025.11080.28001.0 | Windows 11 25H2 build 26200.6725 (AMD64)

This button still works:

You can also still launch the Photos app from File Explorer using Open with...

it workd using native file explorer but i want it to work woth opus.

how to do this ? Yes, seems to work slight_smile @nodeselect cmd /c start ms-photos:viewer?fileName={=Replace(URLEncode(filepath), "%2e", ".")=}

We'll have a fix (again) for this in the next beta. But Microsoft seem to like breaking this functionality on a regular basis so I wouldn't be surprised if it's again only a temporary fix.
