Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#14 Fri, 30 Sep 2022 08:01:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#14 DisplayFusion That would be great, thank you ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#13 Thu, 29 Sep 2022 18:56:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#13 DisplayFusion Ok, excellent. We'll have an advanced setting for the next beta that will do this. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#12 Thu, 29 Sep 2022 08:07:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#12 DisplayFusion Open the image file in the default viewer.
in my case this is the directory Opus image viewer.

somehow, this is the behaviour I have always seen with the older versions of Display fusion. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#11 Wed, 28 Sep 2022 14:57:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#11 DisplayFusion I'm a bit confused on what end result you're looking for here. When you double-click the image, are you wanting it to open the folder in Directory Opus with the image file highlighted?

Or are you wanting it to open the image in the default image viewer?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#10 Tue, 06 Sep 2022 20:29:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#10 DisplayFusion Sorry! Was on vacation last week. It sounds like we used to use shellexecute to get the default handler, but we changed it to use explorer directly because some customer's default handlers weren't responding to the calls correctly.

We'll see if we can add an advanced setting to force it back to the default handler in the next beta. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#9 Tue, 06 Sep 2022 08:39:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#9 DisplayFusion Hi, is there any update on this topic? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#8 Thu, 25 Aug 2022 19:02:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#8 DisplayFusion Sure, I can ask them to check again! We'll keep you posted. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#7 Thu, 25 Aug 2022 10:01:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#7 DisplayFusion I just did a quick test.

I reinstalled Version 9.4.3, double clicking opens Directory Opus to the folder folder which contains the wallpaper image.

I then installed version 10 beta 16, double clicking opens windows explorer to the folder which contains the wallpaper image.

Then I installed version 9.9, this also opens windows explorer to the folder which contains the image.

Version 9.1 also opens Directoy Opus.

9.4.3 and older versions allways opened the picture and not the folder, until I updated beyond 9.4.3.

Something has definitly changed, now DisplayFusion is opeing Windows Exporer.
Any command to open explorer on my pc will open Directory opus, now with the exception of DisplayFusion.

Code must have been changed to actually call explorer.exe

Can you please ask the question again? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#6 Thu, 25 Aug 2022 09:40:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#6 DisplayFusion Thanks for the reply.

That is odd, deffinitly always opened in Directory Opus Viewer for me.
been that way for a couple of years.

Only updating made the behavior change.

Any Ideas on what else may have changed? Windows? Directory Opus? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#5 Wed, 24 Aug 2022 20:36:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#5 DisplayFusion I've checked in with our developers, DisplayFusion has always been configured to open File Explorer to the wallpaper image. That part of the code has never been changed so I'm not really sure what to tell you there

I will put a feature request on our list for the ability to have it open the image in the default viewer instead. We don't give ETAs on feature requests but we always follow-up if/when we do implement them.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#4 Fri, 19 Aug 2022 09:15:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#4 DisplayFusion ahh, this is so frustrating. I hate windows file explorer.

I have used directory opus for years.

why does DisplayFusion now open Windows file explorer to the folder that contains the image, rather than just opening the image? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#3 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 12:12:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#3 DisplayFusion Tried to uninstall and remove all references to DisplayFusion from the registry.
reboot, and reinstall

still no change ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#2 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 11:28:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec#2 DisplayFusion I have tried going back to version 9.1, still the functionality is open contaning folder in explorer.

I assume this must be a registry setting that is now being picked up by all versions of DisplayFusion.

Any ideas how to change it back? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec Thu, 18 Aug 2022 09:16:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-wallpaper-in-default-viewer/?ID=ccaeb91d-26df-4764-9dcd-ef68c7cfa1ec DisplayFusion Untill today I have still been using DisplayFusion 9.4.3, becuase it would open the current wallpaper in the default viewer, when I double clicked on the image in wallpaper settings.

Today I have tried the latest version and found that DisplayFusion now opens Explorer to display the folder which contains the current wallpaper.

I tried to go back to version 9.4.3 to get this functionality back, but no good. now that version also opens the folder which contains the picture, rather than opening the picture in the default viewer.

How can I get DisplayFusion to open the picture once again, not open the folder where the picture is located? ]]>
