Hello !

A customer of mine would launch Paint shop pro from the
pictures libraries in WSS, to edit the photos stored in
it, in place of the Microsoft Picture Manager. Is there a
way to do that ?

Thanks,

Romain

Romain,

I would ensure that the file associations is set correctly to Paint Shop
Pro. There is an option in PSP to reset associations. If the association is
broken, this would certainly be the first problem.

You may also have to modify the "DispDocItemEx" function found in the
"OWS.js" file to set the link to the image files to PSP.

I hope this is helpful in answering your question.

Thanks
C

Cornelius,

thanks for your help.

i already changed file type association, as all the
graphic files are associated to PSP
Unfortunately I'm not experienced in javascript for
Sharepoint. the function you propose to modify is not so
easy to read, and frankly, I don't know what to do in it.

Do you have any other clues to guide me ?

How to declare that I want change the application to be
launched in this piece of code ?
How can I start a javascript debug session to follow
execution ?

Sorry about my dummy questions,

Romain

Romain,

Ed Richard referenced this MSDN article which I believe might be helpful too.
