Preferences - Applications Page

This page allows you to edit the list of applications which appear in the Open With menus. For each application in the list you must provide a name and a program. The names are used as menu captions, and the programs are the full paths to the applications’ executable files (exe). A cell in the list can be edited by clicking once to select it, and again to open it for editing. The applications #Internal and #Registered are always present, and represent the Internal Viewer and the Registered Association respectively.

Preferences - Applications Page

• The Name column contains the names of the applications. These names will appear in the Open With menus. You can use the & character before a letter to specify the shortcut for that menu option. For example, if you enter the name &Viewer then the menu item will appear as Viewer and you will be able to select that item by pressing Alt/V.
• The Program column contains the paths to each application’s executable file (exe). You can either type a file name straight into a program cell, or choose Modify to browse for one.
• Add allows you to add a new application to the list. Use the open file dialog to choose the application program which will appear in the Program column. Then edit the corresponding application name in the Name column.
• Modify allows you to modify an existing entry. If a name is selected, it will open the name so it can be edited. If a program is selected, it will display an open file dialog which you can use to choose a different application to use. The program entries #Internal and #Registered cannot be modified because they are required for the program to operate correctly, but you can change their Name entries.
• Remove allows you to remove an entry. The entries #Internal and #Registered cannot be removed because they are required for the program to operate correctly.
• Launch Now launches the selected application with a test picture so you can test that it works OK.
• Move Up moves the selected application up in the list. The application at the top of the list is the one that will be used when you choose the standard Open command from any menu or toolbar.
• Move Down moves the selected application down in the list. The application at the top of the list is the one that will be used when you choose the standard Open command from any menu or toolbar.
• Use this application when opening text files allows you to set the application that PMIO will use when it needs to open a text file. Click Notepad to use the Windows Notepad program.
