Hello, 02sam

This is somethign handled by windows, not us. When you use the "open with" function, windows gives you a selection of apps, and there is a checkbox at the bottom of the dialog that says "remember this choice" if you do not uncheck that option, windows itself will remember that you want to open your jpeg files in our software.
To change your windows default apps, open the start menu and type "default apps". You should then see a menu which allows you to change defaults by file type, where you can make this change directly.

Kind regards,

Hi thank you for the quick reply

Yes i understand what you say about windows handling the default app, and i know what you mean when you say windows will give a choice of apps and you can select the app you want to open the file, and there is a checkbox at the bottom of the dialog that says "remember this choice" if you do not uncheck that option, windows itself will remember your choice,

But that's my after loading a jpeg into your software to option to select for example windows photo app or windows paint or paint.net are not there anymore so i do not get the option to select the app i want

Hi Edward,

are you saying that after simply opening a jpeg in the Editor you no longer have those other apps in the list when you try to use "Open With" then "Choose another app"?

Even if you hit "More Apps"

you don't see them like this?

Nothing we are doing should impact that, these other applications should always still be available.

Do I misunderstand what is happening?

Hi yes you have it right after loading a Jpeg file into PDFxchage the option to open the file in paint or photo or paint,net is not available

I doing just as you point out in your screenshots i just dont understand

One more thing i have noticed if i open the paint or the photo app the jpeg files i have loaded into pdfxchange are no longer visible and not able to load into paint or anything else, when i look in windows explorer they are atill there but not selectable

Maybe you renamed the file-name-extension of the giving files from "jpg" to "pdf" ?

Are the file-extensions being displayed in your Windows File Explorer (View-ribbon > File name extensions, turned ON) ?
If yes, do you still see the specified pictures with their file-name-extension "jpg" or have they become "pdf" ?

Thank you for the info and yes the file extensions has been changed from jpeg to pdf and i think i must have done that by mistake while i was trying out the features of pdfxchange

My mistake sorry guys if i have caused any confusion
