Getting windows to automatically use photofiltre

[daveDownUnder]

I found photofiltre completely by accident and really like it.

However, I am trying to set up my computer so that photofiltre automatically starts when I double click on a jpeg picture.

I have changed the file options settings, and now photofiltre starts but fails to correctly load the picture I have clicked on.

The error that comes up says:

Unable to load image "C:\Documents"!

then when i click OK the next error is

Unable to load image "and"!

followed by

Unable to load image "Settings"!

and so on.

I understand that the problem is that photofiltre is seeing the directory as a collection of parameters rather than as a single parameter. However, I do not know how to fix it.

Currently, in my folder options for jpeg file type, I have...

Application to use...
"C:\Program Files\Photofiltre\photofiltre.exe" %1

I know I need to change %1 but what do I change it to?

Oh lordy I figured it out. I tried to work this out myself but didn't think of the solution until after I made my post.

I must use quotes around %1, as in "%1". Now it works fine, and I am happy.

Hi,

very painful work indeed under windows by that way.
On the official web site, you can find a plugin to associate image formats with PhotoFiltre : Association
