Allow one-click way to Open With, eg to use Photoshop

    I realise that you compete with Adobe, so don't want to help them, but surely you could allow your users a simple Right-click option to open a picture in an external program. This should be configurable, listing all the programs you want to configure it for.

    The only way I can find to edit a picture in Photoshop is to add a shortcut to it under Favorites on the left, and drag the thumbnail to it. This means changing from Folder view to Favorites view, and then doing the drag. Not very convenient.

    But perhaps there is an easy way and I just have not found it?

    Look on the Main Tool bar, there is a edit icon. Click on the arrow by the side, and in the menu you will find "Configure editors"
    Add all the ones you want, and make one of them them the default.

    Obvious now I know the answer!
    Many thanks - that works perfectly, and the Ctrl+E shortcut is fast.

    It's worth mentioning you can also access the Windows right-click menu - either by setting the appropriate option (under Tools->Options->File List) so that right-click does this automatically, or by holding Ctrl while right clicking. Once the Windows right-click menu is available, you should be able to access Photoshop from the "Open With" submenu.

    Not that this is easier in this case, but it's quite possible you'll run into situations where this is useful.

    The Ctrl+Right click is a very neat feature.
    Many thanks.

    People have said that ACDSee opens Adobe faster than if you were opening just that software.
