pioneer Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Good morning. I wish to use Irfanview and from its file menu I could choose to open in an external editor. prior to AP version 2 I could guide ifanview to open AP.exe in program files. At the moment I cannot find the AP.exe file to use with irfanview can anybody point me to where it resides please? Win11. Cheers John Quote AMD Ryzen 7 5800 X.

Brian_J Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 It sounds like you used the MSIX installers. This post provides the location of the App Execution Alias: Alternatively, if you want to install the MSI/EXE: Quote Windows 10 22H2, 32GB RAM | Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 (MSI/EXE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_J Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 @v_kyr You beat me to it. 🙂 Maybe the Aliases aren’t relevant… I haven’t set up another app to open Affinity files.

Not really as IrfanView is pretty flexible and customizable here, especially when used together with (or from inside of) a filemanager & access tool like TotalCommander!

Some third-party applications can work with the Execution Aliases, but most can't.

That's why some "man in the middle apps" like that "aflaunch" and similar tools do exist, they should perform (call) the right rerouting executions here then. walt.farrell 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
