Default picture viewer program

Hi people,
I´ve tried to reset my default picture viewer program from Preview to XEE, I can do that in "show info", with the "open with/ change all" button.
However, next time I reboot it will be back to the "preview" default.
Any ideas?
Does Snow Leopard´s preview "next" and "previous" arrows function?
I just want to open up a picture in any folder and go next and previous with the arrows........I´m still on Leopard now.
Any help is appreciated!
Not a Clue.

Hang on,
I might be on to something here...........
I disabled the File Vault, changed the settings once again (pics with XEE, .doc documents with pages), rebooted a few times for test purposes, and SUCCES!!
Getting more confident I enabled the File Vault again and it still seems to remember XEE & Pages as my preferences!
For now..........
Weird! I hope I don´t have to disable the file vault every time I want to change an "open with" preference.
Hope this helps for others.........perhaps.
Cheers,

Changing default picture viewer via GPO without changing image type and icon (Windows 7)

Hello,
I am trying to change the default picture viewer for some file extensions (.bmp, .jpeg, .png and .tiff). Actually Windows Photo Viewer is the default viewer and we need to replace it with Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
I managed to do that change via GPO using the 'open with' preference under User Configuration\ Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options. So now the files are opened with Microsoft Office Picture Manager (office 2010). The problem is that the image
type became 'OIS.EXE' for all the specified file extensions. Moreover the icon is now the same (Microsoft Office 2010).
When I change manually the associated program for a file extension, the icon change but no the image type... this is different using GPO.
Is there a solution in order to change the default program but keeping the image type and associated icon ?
I tried to do that modification using the 'new file type' preference under Computer Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options. I specified the 'open' action for OIS.exe, selected file extension BMP with associated class 'Bitmap Image'.
It solves the problem for image type, Microsoft Office Picture Manager opens the files ... but I have to specify the icon file path and icon index and I don't know where I can find the default icons for the file extensions ...
What is the best solution ? Am I right ? Am I doing something wrong ?
Thank you in advance !

Hello,
thank you very much for your answers.
For the rollback, I will reimport the original/default keys for all the image types, this should be ok.
Here are the problems I have trying to pu Microsoft Office Picture Manager as default picture viewer (I just want .bmp, .jpg ... files to be opened with Microsoft Office Picture Manager by default).
1 Using new file type under Computer Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\folder options. : I define a new file type (BMP for example), associated class Bitmap Image, I configure the icon (imageres.dll,65) and an open action where OIS.EXE
is the application used to perform the action.
Result : Icon is correct, file type is correct, image files are opened with OIS.EXE (correct) ... BUT now Microsoft Office 2010 appears twice in open or open with menu
2 Using new open with under User configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Folder Options : new open with preference, action (update or replace same result), file extension BMP, associated program (path to OIS.EXE), i check set as default.
Result : Office 2010 opens image files (correct) but icon is Office 2010 one and the file type is now 'OIS.EXE' for all image file extensions I have specified ... so it won't be possible to sort the file by image type if I select that method...
3 Using ftype : OIS.EXE doesn't open the file when I double click on it but Microsoft Office 2010 appears twice in the open or open with list ...
I am a bit lost ... what is the best method to put Microsoft Office Picture Manager as default picture viewer, keeping the image type (Bitmap image, JPEG image etc) and without having Microsoft Office 2010 twice in the open or open with list ??
Last question : by default an image file is opened and previewed with Windows Photo viewer and edited with Paint. I would like just to open images with Office 2010 but keep Windows Photo viewer for preview and Paint for edit ... Is it possible ??
Thank you in advance for any help and support !!

QuickTime as Default Picture Viewer

I am working on an HP PC using Windows Vista. I recently downloaded the new iTunes + Quicktime software. I mistakenly allowed Quicktime to be my default picture viewer/everything. I don't want that. What is the Windows version and how can I get that back.

On a Windows computer you want to open the QT control panel and chose what file types you want QT to handle

Manual scroll in the default picture viewer?

On the picture viewer that came with my Droid X I can set it to slideshow by pressing the middle button, but is there anyway to scroll through the pictures manually? I would think that there would be left and right keys to go back and forth.
If not, can anyone recommend a better picture viewer that does what I want? It seems strange that the picture viwer can't go back and forth manually. And one of the buttons (the left one) just turns the camera on, as if there weren't already enough ways to launch the camera. The button on the right seems kinda superfluous too - those two buttons should be left and right arrows!
Thanks

You can scroll left to right to go through the pictures. Here are the steps for viewing your pictures. HTH!
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
Touch Gallery.Touch a gallery.
Touch the picture / video to view.
You will then slide your screen left to right to browse the pictures.

Windows picture viewer fails Acrobat TIF to PDF conversion

Hi. I have some users running Acrobat Pro 9 in batch mode to convert TIF to PDF and run OCRing tasks. Some multi-page TIFs with large color pictures do not convert correctly, and some pieces are missing. We think that Acrobat uses the default picture viewer as the imaging enging or whatever. We have tried opening the images that fail to convert, using the Windows picture viewer, and the viewer fails to display all of the color image - so this does not appear to be an Acrobat problem, but a viewer problem.
Is this a known problem; is there a workaround? Otherwise can someone recommend an alternate image/TIF viewer that will work better for this process?
THANKS!

Have you tried changing the program that opens tif files by default to something else (like Photoshop or Paint) and rebooting?

Default image viewer

how do i make fireworks my default image viewer?

It's probably better to remove the file type association in
QuickTime
(or QuickTime Pro(?)).
Try:
1 - start QuickTime
2 - Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences >
File Types > expand
Images option in the tree structure > remove the tick next
to images as
you wish.
It seems an old version of QT?

Pro Picture Viewer Problems

I do not want to use Picture viewer to view .jpg, .tiff and any other picture type of file. Installation of Pro has automatically associated all these file types with Picture Viewer and Quicktime Control Panel does not let me uncheck the box creating the association. How do I fix this, short of uninstalling the whole program and demanding a refund?

You are probably using the compiler options to compile the code as a C++ module causing the name mangling for the external routines.
You need to tell the VC++ compiler to generate strictly C code (not C++ mangled code).
How would you be able to run the SELECT queries in your program without first establishing a connection?
Your program compiles fine for me. But when you run without a connection established, you would get ORA-01012: not logged on
But then, there is no error handling in the code either.

Picture Viewer Crashes

Hello,
Here is the problem I've been having, I installed Quicktime, everything worked fine and I have Quicktime Picture Viewer as my default viewer (I miss my mac). I was able to use it for some time, then when it starts to open the window which asks me to upgrade to Quicktime pro it crashes. I've tried reinstalls and updates but to no avail. Then I reformatted my Hard Drive, and the same issue is happening. Any ideas?

Thanks, this got me to the answer. Specifically, checking for full permissions under my user name.
I am not sure if it was changing the permissions for QuickTime.qts, that did the trick, Because at the same time I also right-clicked on PictureViewer.exe, went to Properties and along with changing the permissions under the Security tab, I went to the Compatability tab and under Priviledge Level, I clicked on "Run this program as an administrator". The only downside is I now get that annoying pop-up whenever I open the program saying "do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer", but that is a minor inconvenience.
Thanks again for you help!

I have tried to deploy the MSI with MST via GPO and Command Line with no luck. Every time i deploy via below methods, the same result occurs, all of the options are set correctly except the "Make Reader the default PDF viewer". I know how to manually set this option via Windows or Adobe interfaces but i am looking to roll this out to the masses and would not want a bunch of service desk calls because a user clicks on an Adobe PDF file and it is not opening in Adobe Reader.
GPO
Create New Package Use AcroRead.msi
Choose Advanced
Deployment Options - Click Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management.
Modifications - Select Transform file located in the folder of MSI
Command Line.
Tried these options to try and apply "Make Reader the default PDF viewer"
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst"
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst" /qn
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" IW_DEFAULT_VERB=Read
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst" IW_DEFAULT_VERB=Read /qn
Anyone know how to make this setting work with the Transform file, i sure would appreciate assistance on this issue.

Instead of saving as a PDF thru Work do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF and it will be saved the first time with the Preview icon.

How can I/Can I make Firefox the default .PDF viewer in Windows 7?

For the basic PDF viewing I do, Adobe Reader is just slow and annoying. I love using Firefox, but unfortunately I cannot set it as the default program to open PDF files. Even when I select Firefox after right clicking and select open with, Windows does not comply. Is there a config option I can change that will allow me to set Firefox as the default PDF reader.
Thank you for your help.

You can not make Firefox the default for viewing PDF files for the entire Windows Operating System, only the default viewer from within Firefox. Like when PDF files that are downloaded from websites and displayed in Firefox; you can try using '''File > Open File''' from within Firefox to view PDF file that are already saved on that PC, but I'm not sure that will work - I haven't tried doing that.

Images too bright in PSE, good in Windows Picture Viewer.

Hi:
My question is this, I shot some pictures of my son last weekend, in studio,
with a Nikon D2X camera, and a softbox lightbank mounted on a Balcar
flash head. I set the camera to RAW-JPEG Fine, ISO 100, and used a
Minolta flashmeter to measure the light from the strobe. The reading was
f/8 and 2/3. The images look good in the LCD camera display, but when
I see them in my PC display, they look way too bright in Photoshop Elements 7.0,
but they look fine in the Windows XP SP3 Picture Viewer.
Why is this?. If I adjust the contrast and brightness in PSE, then they look too dark
when I check them in Windows Picture Viewer...
Also, the highlights look a little burned out in both, PSE and Windows Picture Viewer,
but the problem looks more evident in PSE. This happens often when I shoot pictures
using strobe lights.
Can you help me with this two problems?.
I have attached one of the pictures so you can take a look at it.
Thanks.

As to why the photo looks different in PSE than in Windows Picture And Fax Viewer, there are two possibilities:
1. Your display may have a color profile associated with it, either because you calibrated it with a calibrator or a profile was installed by the disk that came with your display. PSE is "color managed" and will adjust the colors of a photo based on the display's color profile, whereas Windows Picture And Fax Viewer will not. If you want fine control over accurate display of colors on your display, you'll need to calibrate it if you haven't already, and you should then only use color-managed programs like PSE to view your photos.
2. The photo you posted indicates that you've set your camera to use the Adobe RGB color space for JPEGs. The Organizer has a bug and doesn't display the thumbnails (even large thumbnails) of such photos correctly. The Organizer's Display > Full Screen (F11) and the Editor do display such photos correctly. I'm not sure if this particular photo will trigger the bug, because of the way Nikon in particular stores color profiles in JPEGs. You could see if you're getting hit by this bug by:
a. Open the photo in the Editor.
b. In the Organizer, make the photo's thumbnail as large as possible (not Full Screen view).
c. Adjust the zoom of the photo in th Editor to be about as large as the one in the Organizer.
d. Use Ctrl Tab to switch quickly between the two. If you see differences, you're encountering the bug.

Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
I hope that will work.
