Title: MC opens right-clicked image file in audio/media editor instead of Image editor
Post by: rogueblue on October 27, 2010, 12:41:22 pm

I've right clicked on an image file in windows explorer and went to "Media Center - Edit" in the context menu, and the file opens up in the audio/media editor instead.

It's not surprizing then that it gives me an error "error decoding file".

Shouldn't MC open an image file in the MC image editor for editing if sent to the Media Center editor from the windows right-click context menu?

The shell-extension menu option is for Media Editor only.

I agree it would be nice to make shell extensions handle images as well.

Yeah I would LOVE and extension for MC's image editor.
The thing is as it is, it doesn't specify that it's for media only & shows up when right-clicking on it. One would expect it then to relate to editing an image file if it shows up on right-clicking an image.
How hard would it be to add an "image edit" extension to the MC context menu?
