Opening JPGs in PaintShopPro
So far I've been unable to resolve this long-standing problem via the
PaintShop Pro groups/forums, so I wonder if anyone here can offer any suggestions please? I have the JPG extension associated with IrfanView and that works fine. But sometimes I want to open a JPG in PaintShop Pro 8, for editing not mere viewing. But, from an Explorer window, using Open With PSP8 opens another instance of PSP8 if it's already running, instead of another window inside the existing instance. And it's very slow doing that. Yet other methods of opening the JPG from PSP8 are OK, such as using File Open, or dragging the JPG from an Explorer window. Anyone have any insights into this please? If it's relevant I do also have a utility called OpenExpert. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK |

If it's relevant I do also have a utility called OpenExpert. I'm using PSP X and have also had 7, 9 and X1 which I removed. That's "how it is" with PSP up to X, I think it is. I can't recall whether 9 was that way or not, for sure. Even X "looks" like it's opening a new instance but it doesn't. Somehow it starts to and then reverts to the instance already running but sometimes you'll still get the Splash Screen. And, it's slow; not as slow as 7 was, but still slow. I'm surprised you didn't get good responses at cnews.corel.com. Those folk are all pretty much experts and several of t hem are professionals. OTOH they're easy to PO if you said the wrong thingg.

Twayne Thanks Twayne, I rather thought that might be the situation. Re the Corel groups, I always get great help there. That was true with this query when I raised it too. But after following the suggestions, including those at http://campratty.com/1faq/faqpages/b3.html#anchor65788 I still had the issue. I'll just accept that PSP 8 can't do it. But it's very puzzling that when using OpenExpert on a JPG to 'Open With' PSP 8, it can take so long before it's up from a cold start. In contrast, dragging the file into an already-open PSP gives an effectively immediate display. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK |
