Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to open images

Help & Support
1

Hi

Just wondered if it was possible to configure Dopus to open images using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer? I've always like this app because its very quick, but Dopus does not seem to give me to option to use this app to open images. I am using XP by the way.

Thanks.

Yes, just click Settings -> Preferences -> File Operations -> UNcheck Use Internal Picture Viewer for:

As an alternative have you ever looked at the FastStone MaxView viewer? It's the fastest, most intuitive standalone image viewer I've found and it's available free at: faststone.org/

One of its many strengths is it can do all the configuring for you. Just tell FastStone MaxView to associate itself with all known image types (or which ever images types you want) and then any image you double click in Opus will open in MaxView instead. You can also mix MaxView with the standalone Opus viewer by creating a toolbar button which sends selected images to the Opus viewer instead of launching MaxView.

How can you possibly say the Windows Picture viewer is quick? Especially compared to the Opus viewer which opens instantly!
